I thought Don Nehlen was already in the hall. He deserves it. There has been a lot of outstanding football minds come out of the Massilion -Canton-Youngstown area.

Yep, there's been several ..... think Woody and the Buckeyes had anything to do with that. :wink:

Coach Nehlen was voted in some time ago .... this is the tuxedo and fine wine part. 8)

A little. It mostly started with Paul Brown and his mentors. Woody was several steps away.

This makes two West Virginia Coaches voted into the Hall.

Nope. Not at West Virginia anyway.

I would think there's a very good possibility you would recognize the name ...... Greasy Neale .... first person to be elected to both the Pro and College Football's Hall of Fame.

Pretty dag-gum good baseball player for the Cincinnati Reds too. :lol:

Yeah, Bowden would have been my guess. Everything Paul Brown is claimed by Ohio State and he only coached for a minute at Ohio State.
