Key Similarities and Differences Between Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer Eras

The two most recent Ohio State head football coaches are a study. Jim Tressel, the man that led the Buckeyes to a dominant decade, did so with a fierce defense, conservative offense and a sweater vest that left fashionistas wondering what the heck he was doing. Urban Meyer’s team that went 12-0 in 2012 featured a stout defense, wide-open offense and windbreakers. Comparing the two is an interesting study, even though Meyer’s time at OSU has been limited. That single year helped prove what many believed—the man knows how to coach. Say what you will about the Buckeyes’ 2012, they were the only college football team that finished without a loss.

Both are entering the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday as part of an induction class that also includes former Mississippi player Peggie Gillom-Granderson, former Connecticut guard Jennifer Rizzotti, former Texas player Annette Smith-Knight and former Rutgers star Sue Wicks. ”I’ve been one of the grinders,” Blair said. ”I’m not a Geno (Auriemma).
