Hey man. People make mistakes. The good that Woody did for tOSU far outweighs that incident.

Dude, he punched a kid for intercepting a pass. Doesn't get much more ridiculous than that.

And because of one incident you want to discredit all the positive things he did for his players? Pretty unreasonable.
Furthermore, it's not as though he wasn't unrepentant.
Anyway... if that's the way you feel you need to portray him as a whole; then that's your prerogative. But I'll say it's an ignorant approach.

As a Clemson fan, that's about all I have to remember him by. Sorry, didn't mean to ruffle your bucknuts.

The guy clearly made one of the biggest mistakes a person can make but don't dismiss what the guy was and is to that university. I mean we just joined the conference lets not get off on the wrong foot here. haha

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I would like to overtly state that I don't condone what Woody did. I also can appreciate your outlook as a Clemson fan. It would definitely not sit well. However, when considering Woody Hayes, I would prefer to look at his career as a coach and as a person overall.

As a person, he cared a great deal about his players. He was of the mindset that you prepare them for life; not just football. I have read testimony after testimony regarding the positive impact that Woody had on the lives of his players.
Just for kicks, I thought I'd see how Woody's stats compared to Devaney's.

My wife's family has informed me of some of the positives of Devaney.
Would you be just as quick to dismiss Devaney's accomplishments if he made the same or equally severe mistake?

To me it's not about the accomplishments, but more about the type person that they are.
If Devaney assaulted a player, especially on the other team, you're damn right that's what he would be remembered by, at least for other teams.
OJ Simpson won the Heisman, is that what you remember him for?

See, deedsker remembers him from The Naked Gun movies too!!!
In all seriousness, muffler, it was just a small joke. I really didn't mean to get anyone upset.

So, in that light, you can appreciate what he did for his players, and the men he made them into.
I didn't ask about other teams. I asked you as a Husker fan.
Bit of hyperbolic stretch, no?

Sorry, I just became a Husker fan after the Gator Bowl in '08...that's why I said if a current Clemson coach or Nebraska coach did the same thing, I'd be very pissed.
Not really, his character took quite a hit because he wasn't the greatest actor, but that Nordberg sure was funny!!!
Again, it was just a joke.
