On Friday, ESPN’s Bill Connelly released his rankings of the top 100 FBS head coaches of the past 50 years. It should come as no surprise that Ohio State was well represented on the list, seeing five coaches included in the rankings, with all of them being ranked among the top 60 coaches on the list.
While some may want to include coaches like Knute Rockne, Amos Alonso Stagg, and Walter Camp on a list of the greatest college football coaches, Connelly limited his list to the last 50 years because it was when offensive innovation was taking place in the sport.
