I was born in Cleveland, Oh...graduated from OSU in 1995 and granted I live in Charlotte, NC...obviously Ohio is home...

some of the current coaches at the major college level from Ohio:

Les Miles
Bob Stoops
Mike Stoops
Jim Tressel
Ron Zook
Urban Meyer
Bo Pelini - head coach now at NU


smaller divisions

Larry Keheres at Mount Union one of the most successful college programs of all time (longest winning streak regardless of division in college football history, yes I know OU has the D 1 record at 47)...

some of the old guard:

Lou Holtz (although he was born in WV - he claims Ohio as home grew up in East Liverpool)
Bo Schembechler
Ara Parsegian
Woody Hayes
Lee Tressel - Jim and his dad have won national titles
Paul Brown - coached at OSU


Pretty impressive and I am sure I am leaving people off...but these are just off the top of my head...pretty stout list...Miami of Ohio has been known as the cradle of coaches...with Holtz, Schembechler on the same Hayes staff...

then some of the assistants that have come through OSU (they are not necessarily from Ohio)

Tim Spencer - asst with Bears
Lovie Smith - HC of Bears
Larry Coker - former HC of the U


anyway pretty impressive list...I figure with all the conference dick sizing going on this might be topic that might be fun to debate/discuss...

yeah they have put through some great coaches...

I am sure SO Cal will claim CA bode...but if you look at the current crop and what they have accomplished...WOW...

Tressel
Meyer
Stoops (Bob)

have all won MNC's and Miles is playing for one...nice

Alabama:
Bobby Bowden
Mickey Andrews
Charley Pell
Danny Ford
Mike Dubose

?

you'd have to give Arkansas and Frank Broyles some old school cred along the same lines as the current Ohio crop. having both coaches to win both MNCs and a Super Bowl: Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer.

Arkansas also has Paul "Bear" Bryant

Texas produces coaches like they produce football players, there is just too many to count. Just off the top of my head

1. Hayden Fry
2. Tom Landry
3. Jimmy Johnson
4. Bum Philips
5. Wade Philips

I know there is a lot more but those are the ones that come to mind

i'm guessing on numbers alone it would be pretty tough to beat a comprehensive list from Texas--though, this year's Cowboy euphoria aside, i'm not sure Wade Phillips would have come to mind right off the bat.

Jimmy Johnson only went to college at Arkansas; he is from Dallas, Texas.

Frank Broyles is from Georgia and didn't even go to Arkansas but Georgia Tech; he was only ever the HC and AD at arkiesaw.

Barry Switzer is theonly one really from Arkansas.

actually Jimmy is from Port Arthur he went to high school with Janis Joplin.
