Jim Tressel
Controversial choice? Perhaps. But in case and with Tressel’s record, an exception is made. Jim Tressel’s time at Ohio State earned the team three BCS National Championship Games, niceeeee. Plus his 2002 squad won a national title – where he went on to achieve the first 14–0 season record in major college football since the 1897 Penn Quakers. None of his players even thought of an associate degree online, they were too busy winnin’ games.
