Definately one of the best college coaches of all time, right up there with Joe Paterno, Tom Osborne, Bobby Bowden, Knute Rockne, Lou Holtz, Vince Dooley. Especially considering the difficulty of both the Big 10 conference as well as all of college football at that time, I just hate he didn't get a National Championship during his reign as head coach. Partly due to the OSU/Michigan rivalry and both of them dominating the conference at that time. Perhaps fuel for the fire considering Saturday's game, intangibles might have just swung to Michigan considering their loss.
I know how it feels to lose such a great coach, though. UGA/Georgia Southern lost Erk Russell this year

Definately one of the best coaches the NCAA ever had, especially one of the best defensive coordinators
