Earle Bruce –
Football coach, NCAA HOF’er, Buckeye.
March 8, 1931 – April 20, 2018.
Aged 87 years.
Most recognized for: Earle had some big shoes to fill, taking over the Ohio State head coach position after Woody Hayes got a little punchy. But in the 8 years he was in charge at his alma mater, he led the Buckeyes to 4 conference titles… that’s 8, not counting the year Cris Carter screwed it up for everybody.
