I have heard that one of the reasons why Earl was fired was because he pissed off the family that owned the Columbus Dispatch/WBNS. He held his own against Michigan (better than Cooper). Why was he let go? 1 Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 It probably had little to do with the average man on the street. When the cigars decide they want a coach to hit the road it usually happens unless there is a strong AD. Quote Link to comment
WoodyHayes1951 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Fired because he went 9-3 every year. A lot of people say that OSU lost the "National Program" moniker in the Bruce era and didn't get it back until the 1993 UDub game. But who cares about being a "National Program" when you are losing games 13-9 against inferior talent when the National Title is on the line. Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Fired because he went 9-3 every year. This. Bruce was called 'ole 9-3 Earle' while he was the head coach. Another big issue was that he was recruiting continuously declined during his tenure. Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 This is what i fear what Bo will become. That he will never be able to win the big games but do decently every year. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I heard he was fired because he coached at ISU Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 . . I dunno why tOSU fired Earl Bruce. He had GREAT leadership qualities. Almost like some sort of Captain . . . . . 1 Quote Link to comment
