ARE U JOKING??? HAHAHAHAHA YA THE GUY WHO ASSAULTED MULTIPLE PLAYERS REALLY CARED SO MUCH ABOUT PEOPLE. LMAOOOOO, woody hayes is a joke and a clown and got smacked by George Patton Schembechler

This is a fascinating time capsule for an era.

Love you Coach Hayes and still miss you. I'm looking at his picture right now on my desk The only OSU gear I have is the black Block O baseball cap just like Coach Hayes wore, brought it in 1981 when I got out of the Air Force. No check marks no new era, nothing. I wear it during football season and when I travel out of Ohio. That hat says everything!

Had the great privilege to meet and shake his hand at my High School graduation in 1981 as he was the guest speaker. Woody and I graduated from the same school at Newcomerstown Ohio.

one of the all time classic documentaries

Wow - Hell of a film.

Not condoning certain aspects of his behavior and the times he clearly crossed lines, but it was unfortunate the national media generally portrayed this man only in a certain way. Deep down, he was a kind, decent, generous and brilliant man. His character showed through especially after he was relieved from his coaching duties yet he still gave back to the university and community. He genuinely cared for people and did a lot of charitable work out of the spotlight. The fact he was close friends with two former US presidents, one of which eulogized him speaks of his character. Kudos to BBC for going into depth here showing the complexities of this one of a kind coach.

Woody Hayes told my grandpa to work on one of his athletes that got injured in spring ball in 1971 the player was from Toledo Central Catholic H.S. Got him back to good health just in time for 2-A-Days in August then woody sent my grandpa a letter thanking him for treating his player and told my grandfather he one best athletic trainers Sports medicine / Physical Therapist in Northwest Ohio .

What an excellent documentary by the BBC my co worker and good friend Paul Ross played for woody Hayes and is in this documentary Paul told me some good stories about his times playing for woody especially some real funny ones while attending his word power class .sadly Paul passed in 2011 miss ya big guy

Woody was the best Coach ever, and I'm from Ohio

Epic documentary - the UNCENSORED version! I remember seeing this for the first time on Christmas Eve 1978 but it was a made for tv version with most of the profanity edited out. As I recall, Woody Hayes was not happy with the way he was portrayed in this film but it did provide an extraordinary behind the scenes look at a major U.S. college football power.

I am not naive enough to kick Brutus while he's down ... What a coach, what a program, what a legacy, what a privilege to be our rival. Go Blue!

Woody! A great man that loved each of his players. He would have done anything to make sure that his student athletes graduated college. He taught values and how to be a great person. One of the best molders of men Ever!

This is a fascinating documentary. The U.S., for better or worse, has one of the more unique youth athletic systems in the world and its interesting seeing it through the lens of someone not born and bred in it.

This is so awesome ‘ Coach Hayes a legend and treated me so great when I was at OSU / such insight!

BBC documentary on the US game from the year I was born. Wow. That’s awesome.

At 42:16, that's Ottis "O.J." Anderson carrying the ball for Miami, future St. Louis Cardinal, New York Giant, and Super Bowl XXV MVP.

that's how it should be he ran a clean program and his players graduated and yes he was a hard ass but those kids knew what they where getting in to when they went to ohio state

Woody was a contender every time., And the rest of the time he was a true winner

Woody Hayes was the most AWESOME COACH EVER! HANG on Sloopy, Hang ON! WOODY, ... you're the most AWESOME of all coaches! Make the boys behave!

We certainly need more mentors like Coach Hayes, especially, in this pussifide society that we are living in today.

He was obviously a guy who couldn't really control his emotions/temper at times, but he also came across not as vindictive and evil. It's quite interesting.

So nothing was more humiliating to Woody than having to resort to passing the ball then only to see it intercepted? That must be avoided at all costs, in Woodythink. Absolutely fascinating.

Old School Football coach. Too many sensitive people (social media/internet) in the world nowadays to have coach like Coach Hayes. This they/them, him/he, She/her generation would call it toxic masculinity.

I loved Coach Hayes, I miss him truly.

Rather ironic the timing of this documentary being filmed coincided with the end of the Hayes era @ Ohio State, and their opponents hiring Howard Schnellenberger the following season (1979) and elevating the Canes rise to national prominence during the 1980s. The past gives way to the future.

That game vs Miami was in 1977. Rod Gerald was the QB. The 1978 season was Woody's last season. He started a freshman QB, Art Schlichter.

Woody Hayes’s salary at the time of his firing in 1978 was in the neighborhood of $42,000 per year. That’s pittance compared to what D-1 head football coaches of major programs make today which can be from 2 to 5 million dollars per year.

Too bad the city has gone down hill

Magnificent piece.

It's probably true that Woody was a bit right of center - but he was no racist, let alone a white supremacist. Not at all. And yet, he was at war, of a kind. Not just with the team across the field, but with the more modernizing forces of American culture. His was the simple - and honest - patriotism of the heartland. Intellectually, he went no further than Emerson - yet he knew his history, too ! He was friends with Richard Nixon, in part, because like Hayes, Nixon's famy originally came from the Ohio farmlands, before moving to California. And Nixon was a lawyer which Hayes would have become if but for football. And they both loved foreign policy ! It says something more that the Coach thought seriously about taking a leave of absence from the OSU team in October 1976 - the middle of the season, no less ! - to campaign for Gerald Ford. When he passed in 1987, I think he felt the country was in good hands again, with Reagan, who had returned the nation to more traditional values after the tumult of the '60"s. Hayes could rest - finally - feeling like America was back on the right tack ... 🏉 🇺🇲

Back then if there wasn't an event going on at the 'Shoe it was left open for general recreational use. It was considered just another athletic facility for the students. They even turned on the lights for us in the evenings as we played pickup games on the field. The entire field was too big for pickup games so we generally divided it into fourths so several games could be played at once. That first generation artificial turf was rough like a door mat, smelled mildew-y, and didn't have a lot of give to it. Any exposed skin ended up with some serious rug burns, but it was great getting to play on it. We also used to sometimes go to the stadium and walk the decks on Sunday mornings after a home game, before it had been swept out. We'd find money and all sorts of stuff people had dropped. Good times.

WOODY HAYES!

That was an era when "Ohio Democrats" were known to be the most conservative in the country. John Glenn was the definition of a Ohio Democrat. Seeing as how he was on leading edge of the inclusion of "Negro" coaches and quarterbacks I'm not certain Woody was a Republican... Being either back then meant something completely different than it means today.

One year later, his worst tendencies - some of which were revealed here - were on full display on national television. And he was fired.

43:42 whoever designed that costume is probably a serial killer. No person in their right mind would look at that and think “yeah I want that on my sideline”. Seriously it would be better to have a potted buckeye tree pushed around on a cart than that nightmare fueling grotesque monstrosity

The WW2 generation had been raised to be tough, growing up in the Depression between two world wars, and many of them (including Woody) served in the second one. My parents, my friends parents, and most of my coaches and teachers in the '60s and '70s were of the Great Depression-WW2 generation. They did not believe in sparring the rod. To paraphrase someone who was asked about playing football back then (I think it was Mike Ditka), if you played football back then and never got your ass kicked by a coach (figuratively if not literally), you were probably not much of a player. It was a very different time than today.

All the praise..... This was the guy who slugged an opposing player the very next year and got fired. He had poor self-control for someone in his position. Aside from slugging the Clemson player, there were other incidents where he went up to the line......
