I'm mesmerized by Coach Hayes words. You can't judge a man by one poor decision when the rest of his life has nurtured and created so much.

One morning in spring '87 I was in a hurry walking over the South Oval, very early, and he walked past me, looking so serene. I froze and never said anything to him. I regret it more than anything anything in my life.

It was easy to be intimidated by his presence. In '85, we were ROTC cadets preparing for a rappelling event in Hocking Hills. We had to review our commands and safety procedures. We had ropes stretched down the hallway of Converse Hall, reviewing our knots, procedures and commands. And Woody walked in. He was fascinated with what we were doing. But we suddenly were worried if what we were doing would meet his standards. It was a good mix. He wanted to watch us succeed, we wanted to impress him. The guy was a coach down into his bone marrow. And when he saw good kids doing well, he relished it.

Listening to Woody, you can tell how much he treasured education. It probably speaks to how much his players regarded him. He lost it in that Clemson game back in 1978, but it speaks well of OSU that they invited him to deliver a commencement address in 1978. Forgiveness is a cleansing thing. His speech showed how much the education of athletes meant more than football. Woody Hayes was more than that unfortunate moment at the Gator Bowl in 1978. It speaks well of OSU that they recognized that.

I met coach Hayes early In my teaching and coaching career at the national coaching convention in Dallas Texas and my college coach, Robert Devaney at the university of Nebraska introduced me to him. I had lunch with both these great individuals and his parting words to me were “coach and teach like you were playing and you will never consider yourself an employee, rather a partner in someone’s future”. He was a tremendous individual and demanded had work and believe in yourself. RIP great coach.

Dam this was an awesome speech by coach Hayes. I'm a Mich fan and it's sad they don't make men like Coach Hayes and Bo anymore. The media made Hayes out to be a crazy man but you can see this man has a HUGE heart underneath all the toughness and his players would run through 5 brick walls for him. I read Bo autobiography and what coach Hayes did for his black players during segregation in the south when they couldn't eat in the same room as the whites. he cursed out the owner of the establishment and he ate upstairs with his black players so they wouldn't be humiliated by the hatred. RIH a great man!

Is it abusive to push someone to be a greater human being than they thought they could ever be? Or is there a certain part of society that would rather go through life doing the least they can all whilst expecting great things for themselves? I could say my father was a prick, and he was many times, but he was doing what he thought correct to push me to be a better person than himself because I know he cared deeply about me.

@@cv5916 yes, it is abusive to hit someone bc they have not done what you want them to do, even if you believe it is in their best interest. He had a vested interest in making young men be greater so he could succeed in his job. Imagine he was a manager at McDonald's and he hit and physically shoved young teenage and 20 year old men to be greater bc they spilled fries or didn't clean the bathroom, would that be abuse or just a great guy pushing young men to be greater?
