Growing up in Ohio in the 60’s and 70’s there was no man more revered than Woody Hayes. As a lifelong Buckeyes fan I will never forget the great things he did for The Ohio State University!!!! The 10 year war with Bo Schembechler made The Game the best college football series in the history of college football. Sadly, the things that made Woody great would be his undoing. R.I.P. Coach Hayes, a great Buckeye that will always be remembered as just that! ❤️✌️😎
Woody was criticized for not passing but as you watch football today Woody was right you do win with a powerful running game. He just took it too far. You do have to pass 50/50 balance run vs pass.
Its too bad we dont even have anything close to this man as a leader anywhere in the World. Tough, hard, caring and for one reason....your success in life.
That generation produced many men like that. Hard times, The Great Depression, WWII...it turned boys into men. Guys like Woody, Bear Bryant, Johnny Vaught, Bud Grant....men who came up in difficult circumstances, determined to help young men transform into productive citizens. They had their faults, for sure, but they cared about their players.
@@pitchshot2868 Thank you. I feel strongly about those men. My dad passed away two years ago and he shared those values. No, they weren't progressive. In fact, they were the definition of conservative. The latter has a bad reputation these days, which is unfortunate. There are certainly horrible aspects to the progressive movement, as well as positive things. Americans need to realize nothing is all good or all bad., and people should not be judged by moments in time. The bigger picture often tells a much different story.
The good old days before woke BS. College Football as staged as NFL. Sports entertainment has become. You won't see Ohio State beat Michigan rest of this decade. Same goes for an NFL game ending in a tie. None this year. None rest of decade. It all rigged. Michigan and Harbaugh nothing but cheating liberal elite pinheads.
As a die hard UM fan, I respect him so much! I could give a fuck about the Clemson game, does not take away from his legacy at all. I highly implore everyone to watch the HBO doc about The game. Most of it is about the 10 year war and the rivalry between Bo and Woody, and is miles better than this.
@tomhearns143 Not sure what point your trying to make, if you choose to be bitter and hate Bo that's all you bud. Most UM and OSU members that go back to the 10 year war have respect for each coach, as do I. Not surprised a bitter loser like you would take this kind of attitude to a light hearted comment.
Go Bucks. We love and respect Bo as a proud son of Ohio who sacrificed everything to beat his mentor. That's the ultimate goal for any protégé. Says a lot about Woody. Congrats on the natty
During his eulogy, Nixon recalled the first time he met Woody when he was Vice President: "I wanted to talk about football and Woody wanted to talk about foreign policy. And you know Woody. We talked about foreign policy." Hayes also liked to joke that he was Notre Dame's best recruiter because if he couldn't convince a recruit to come to Ohio State, he would say, "Well then, son, you've got to go to Notre Dame," whom Ohio State didn't play, instead of Michigan.
I ❤ my Penn State Nittany Lions, and Woody Hayes and Joe Paterno were compared to each other during the period when they coached against each other. Both Woody and JoePa were legendary coaches in their own regards.
Yes, he was complex. While I am not an apologist for all of his behavior, the totality of the man tilts to the good, the world being a better place because of him. That sportswriter who said he was nothing but a tyrant didn't do any research.
I was a fan of Ohio State back in the late 60's from following some recruits from NJ where I was from. Tatum, Jankoski in particular. Woody's record speaks for itself. Understanding attitudes were different back then and coaches, teachers got away; with things then they'd not be able to do now, regardless of his reputation, what he did for those off the field, he still slugged a college player on the side line on national TV. Today, he'd be charged with assault no doubt. Unfortunately, the one event is what people know of when tallking about him, and not his years of successful coaching, same as Joe Paterno and what he allegedly let happen at Penn State.
I’m not a Buckeye, but I remember who he was. He was torn down by the lefty press. Obviously he had many shortcomings. This presentation was so well done. ESPN before it became woke crap. One thing I do remember about Woody……”there are three things that can happen when you utilize the forward pass, two of them are bad”. Enough said.
They missed an important part. Woody Hayes personally did bed check for every curfew. No head coach that I know of or worked for ever did bed check. Woody did it every night before every game for 28 years
a reporter once asked woody why did you go for a two point conversion when you were up 50 14 woody answered because i couldn't go for 3 classic woody rip.
Woody is a legend I could care less what others say he is an American icon veteran and THE coach and great teacher and an Ohio man through and through God bless Woody still my hero and always will be
@@booboodafoo3247 You must be from Michigan! Woody was a great coach, and even though you don’t think so, a great human being who did things for his players, and others that nobody else would ever do then, or now, it ever! 🌰🏈
@@jeffreyleohner3247 and he also punched a player because his team was losing. He will never live that down. That’s one thing as a coach you don’t do. PERIOD. Imagine if that player was your son.
@@booboodafoo3247he made a mistake, was castigated for it, and also fired for it. That’s it. When commit an immoral act you accept your penance and move on. No one is perfect and sinless. You’re the type of prideful, hypocritical reprobate who criticizes everyone else without removing the log from your own eye.
Did he recruit other QBs and bench them just so he wouldn't have to play against them or deny black athletes because they were black like Bear Bryant? Hell no
Very complicated man, but had to go. Maybe the good outweighed the bad, but it was a pattern of weird behavior that was just getting crazier by the day.
@@sunnybeech74 he may never equal Bo but he has certainly returned the UM program to an elite level. I’ve liked him since his UM QB days. Hope UM wins CFP this year. I also forgot Lloyd Carr. An excellent UM head coach. He had OSU number for better part of 15 years.
My recollection is that he was a violently assaultive person with a history of NCAA violations including paying players. Clearly he won a lot of games which is great if you put that over honor and integrity but you cannot denie his numerous embarrassments including the assault on a college kid on national tv which finally and thankfully got him fired. Own the good with the bad and stop deifying grown men coaching kids sports.
@@rajswain3700 Nice vocabulary. You must be an osu graduate! I notice you deny nothing I said about saint woody and I didn’t even mention his saying that children murdered in the My Lai massacre were not innocent if they were over five years old. Grow up and stop worshipping that jerk. I know little about the sec as I attended an ACC school I am confident you couldn’t get into. I do know the sec owns osu!
@@rajswain3700 Nice vocabulary. You are likely an osu grad. Worst scandals in all of D-1 sports in recent years occurred at big 10 schools. Mich. cheating, msu gymnasts abused, psu facilitating rape of children and dear old saint tressell cheating in hopes of beating an sec team in a bowl game for the first time ever! (and that win was stripped!) I went to an ACC school you could not get into and know little about the sec except that it owns osu!
Woody threw an elbow and was about to throw a punch but someone caught his arm. I don’t care what, who you are YOU DO NOT PUNCH THE OTHER PLAYERS OVER YOUR TEAMS MISTAKE. You’re a punk. You’re a famous punk. Punk.

Go to HS in Ohio was picture of George Washington Abe Lincon and Woody Hayes in class 20 years after Woody
I loved the way Barry Switzer stuck up for Woody when everyone else was burying him. 👍👍👍
I agree when you’re down you find out who’s your ride or die friend
Switzer was a boss

Barry was The Best

WHERE IS THE SHOT AT WODDY PUNCHING THE CLEMSON PLAYER? Opps don’t want to talk about that ?

The guy personally tutored his players in his home. Says a lot. We need more tough love today. The country would be in a better shape.
Boy do we need Mr Hayes today.
A grimace!

As an Ohio State fan, I feel the same about Bo.
BS. No one cares about Bo. Try doing some research of Woodys' first 20 years.
@tomhearns143 Damn Saturday still hurts huh?

Clearly ESPN didn't do enough research, Woody Hayes won 5 National Titles not 3
They combined '54, 57, (half each) and '68 consensus.
I was a freshman in 1983, when he dotted the I in the Shoe. I got to see that in person. RIP, Woody.
As a life long Michigan fan ... Woody is a legend .
So is Bo. And Harbaugh. OSU alum here…
“I would die and go to hell for him.” Tells you all you need to know about Woody.
My birthday is March 12th, the ONLY birthday I never cared for or wanted to remember was the one that occurred in 1987
Once a Buckeye ALWAYS a Buckeye!
❤️ woody hayes super great college football coach
I think it is interesting that Bob Knight played at Ohio State and seems to really admire Woody
During his eulogy, Nixon recalled the first time he met Woody when he was Vice President: "I wanted to talk about football and Woody wanted to talk about foreign policy. And you know Woody. We talked about foreign policy."

Wild to think he was the 3rd best coach in OSU history.
#1
Woody Hayes , Ohio. Go bucks!
I’m not a Buckeye, but I remember who he was. He was torn down by the lefty press. Obviously he had many shortcomings. This presentation was so well done. ESPN before it became woke crap. One thing I do remember about Woody……”there are three things that can happen when you utilize the forward pass, two of them are bad”. Enough said.
Northwestern pulled the same crap with Pat Fitzgerald.
They missed an important part. Woody Hayes personally did bed check for every curfew. No head coach that I know of or worked for ever did bed check. Woody did it every night before every game for 28 years
Bear, Woody.
Now Saban.
The 3 best.
a guy we loved to hate..from ann arbor.....he was my dad

He punched a freaking player on the field. Get funked and f Hayes.

He learned how to treat black players by observing Duffy up in East Lansing .
Woody was a mental.
It only takes one bad incident to overshadow an other wise successful career, keep that in mind.
Very complicated man, but had to go. Maybe the good outweighed the bad, but it was a pattern of weird behavior that was just getting crazier by the day.
Woody, Tressel, Meyer. Legends.
Don’t hate but Harbaugh is right there besides Schembechler in the same category for UM.
I think Harbaugh is close, but I also think that he needs to win a national championship before he is equal to Bo.
@@sunnybeech74 he may never equal Bo but he has certainly returned the UM program to an elite level. I’ve liked him since his UM QB days. Hope UM wins CFP this year. I also forgot Lloyd Carr. An excellent UM head coach. He had OSU number for better part of 15 years.
Sociopath. Whacked a player. Man is venerated, but was never quite right.
This is such a hatchet job, typical ESPN. Woody made a mistake, he was still a great man.
Why would the woodman be on this show?
woody was Wrong hitting That player
Yes he was wrong hitting that player, but still a great coach, and great human being! Loved by millions, including me! 🌰🏈

What a jagoff the woodman
Is this WHO Jim Harbaugh is DESPERATELY TRYING to IMPERSONATE? Geez. Grow up. GET Your Own Identity

Hayes should've never punched Charlie Baumann, he should've punched Art Schlichter for throwing such a stupid pass.
😂 wood head will be forgotten in time …… Clemson, Clemson , Clemson ……etc
A 70 plus head coach , who punches a D 1 college linebacker in the jaw , what a BADASS. I will always love WOODY HAYES. ❤️ 😍
