Woody still taught an English class and refused giant payraises.
The youth of America will hardly ever even become aware of people like that. A passionate man that did not cheat.
"When Hayes was first hired to be the head coach at OSU, he was also made a "full professor of physical education", having earned an M.A. degree in educational administration from Ohio State in 1948. The classes that he taught on campus were usually full, and he was called "Professor Hayes" by students. Hayes also taught mandatory English and vocabulary classes to his freshman football players."
although looking at the Wiki to freshen my knowledge I ran across this;
"After losses or ties, Hayes would conduct locker room interviews while naked. A journalist from his tenure noted, "He was an ugly guy so it would clear the locker room out pretty fast."
Oh yeah, Fuck Ohio State
but they did something unspeakable in January 1997 which is enough reason for me to hate them.
