Can you name the most recent Ohio State football coach to win a national title with a roster comprised entirely of players he recruited?
That's right, it's Ryan Day. But that question's answer was Woody Hayes as recently as January 2024, which means when the Buckeyes beat Notre Dame for the seventh straight time, a 58-year old drought nobody ever talked about came to an end.
Woody was the last guy to win a natty with no one else's recruits. Jim Tressel won his in 2002 thanks in part to a bunch of John Cooper refugees, while Urban Meyer pulled it off in 2014 with over a dozen Tressel holdovers.
