In his thirty-three-year head-coaching career, twenty-eight of those at Ohio State, Woody Hayes frequently beat the snot out of his players during practice. He pummeled TV cameramen and photographers. He was so pathologically violent, he once slashed his own face with a ring after a loss. During the 1978 Gator Bowl, with the clock winding down in what would be his final game as a coach, the 65-year-old Hayes clotheslined Clemson’s Charlie Bauman following his game-clinching interception. When one of his own players tried to restrain Hayes, he got socked, too. At Hayes’s funeral, close friend and fellow national disgrace Richard Nixon delivered the eulogy: “The incident…in 1978 would have destroyed an ordinary man. But Woody was not an ordinary man.”
