I'm sorry if I was asking too much, what with you being a Buckeye and all. Carry on drooling on your keyboard then, and I will continue to grant you the favor of interpreting your babble. You are welcome.

True. You usually disappear after any sort of OSU humiliation so the sass doesn't quite have the desired effect.After-the-fact sass is for the pitiful.Comment

Yost's hire was significant in that he was the first 'professional coach' in the B1G. Other schools had coaches that were also lecturers/professors. Yost didn't stray into the classroom and Michigan was given a 10-year exile because of it. Worth remembering then that nearly half his career was spent coaching an Independent.
Fritz Crisler has to be thrown out there as a joke. He was no more significant the conference's history than Lloyd Carr. Red Grange did more to put the B1G on the map. As did Bernie Bierman (already mentioned by talent), Bob Zuppke, Henry Williams, and of course, Amos Alonzo Stagg.Comment

Fritz Crisler had 2 signature wins that shook up establishment thinking, back before most of you people were born.
The first was a shocking and totally unaticipated shellacking of legendary ND 32-20 in 1942. I know, this means nothing here but it shook the world back then and destroyed the dominant narrative of the Irish of Knute Rockne fame.
The other was perhaps the most dramatic conquest of the era, 58-6! (for you bucknuts, look it up) Crisler's name will always be recognized because of those two earth shaking accomplishments. This is when UM emerged from the worship of the ND-Army culture that dominated the later war years.
For me, Crisler resides in the pantheon of the greatest CFB coaches. He put UM back on the map as a national force after more than a lost decade following Yost's retirement.
You have to measure it by the impact it had at that time.Comment

All fair points. But he's not an all-time conference great. I could think of at least 3 OSU coaches who were massively important to OSU, but who wouldn't rate amongst Hayes, Yost, Bo, etc.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.Comment

He had an impact on Michigan. He did not have as significant or lasting an impact on the B1G or national scene as Yost, Stagg, Bierman, Hayes, or Schembechler. The thing he's most remembered for is bringing Princeton's helmets to Michigan.Comment
