Last "off-season" topic: Would you say Coach Bruce had the best coaching tree not only at OSU but perhaps all of college football? He had at one time on his OSU staff: Sabin, Meyer, Tressel, Carroll, and Capers-pretty darn good.
Woody had Holtz, Mallory, Mason, Bruce (of course), and Bugel. I do not count Schembachler or Moeller since Woody had them on his staff of Miami of Ohio.
Can you think of a coach (at any program) that had more great assistants than Bruce had in his 9 years at OSU? I think his topic is hard to beat!
