Chuck ToddHOST
I'll be honest, I don't remember a lot of Ohio State teams making it to the Rose Bowl in the 80s, and I think that was part of the problem for Mr. Bruce.
Chuck ToddHOST
After Bruce came the John Cooper era, and boy, Cooper, he is the living, breathing example of sort of the... of the Ohio State that I know.
Chuck ToddHOST
He's the epitome of the risk of coaching at Ohio State.
Chuck ToddHOST
Cooper had a tremendous record, 111, 43, and 4.

This is going to determine the fate of nations and economies and the future of humanity.

Listen to The Builders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
J.A. AdandeHOST
So the departure of John Cooper leads to Jim Trestle in his glasses and his sweater vest.
J.A. AdandeHOST
You know, he looked like the last guy you'd have to worry about punching an opposing player, right?
Beau BishopHOST
A total of six.
Beau BishopHOST
Three under John Cooper in 97, 99, and 2000 before he was relieved to duties.
Beau BishopHOST
Two under Jim Trestle, 04 and 08.
Beau BishopHOST
Worth noting that in 08, that third loss did come in the bowl loss to Texas, but nevertheless, three losses for Tress.
Al DeRogatisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Greg makes a fine block, and that fullback was really powering up in there.

John Cooper looking over, and Earl Jansen, the
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
referee from Illinois, says, first down Penn State at the 18-yard line.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And Javon comes in with words on what Burkhart and Penn State will do.
Tom CrawfordGUEST
But, you know, that, and Davis, I mean, that was crazy.
Tom CrawfordGUEST
I mean, Ohio State made mistake after mistake, and it kind of reminded me of a John Cooper-type approach to football, overthinking things, and what Ryan Day did, but I don't think that will happen again this year because this offense is worse than that offense.
Tom CrawfordGUEST
This is the worst offense I've ever seen at Michigan.
Tom CrawfordGUEST
I mean, I can go back.
Tom CrawfordGUEST
But, you know, that, and Davis, I mean, that was crazy.
Tom CrawfordGUEST
I mean, Ohio State made mistake after mistake, and it kind of reminded me of John Cooper-type approach to football, overthinking things.
Tom CrawfordGUEST
Yes, yes.
Tom CrawfordGUEST
And what Ryan Day did, but...
Steve MasonHOST
All right, last one we'll do just for fun.
Steve MasonHOST
Which Ohio State head coach won more games? Urban Meyer, Jim Trestle, Earl Bruce, or John Cooper? John? Who won the most games, Urban Meyer, Jim Trestle, Earl Bruce, or John Cooper? That's not number one all-time in wins.
Steve MasonHOST
It's just which of these guys won more.
Steve MasonHOST
John Cooper.
Steve MasonHOST
John
Marcas GrantHOST
Cooper.
Steve MasonHOST
Brian? Meyer.
Steve MasonHOST
M? Urban.
Jay ForemanHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jay ForemanHOST
We're just now coming out of the darkness, right? The difference is other teams, other universities, just say universities, athletic departments or whatever, might have had downturns and fired their coach, right? You had Ohio State with John Cooper, right? Couldn't beat Michigan, right? Done a lot of other good things, but you didn't beat.
Jay ForemanHOST
That's the standard, right? You had Rich Rod and Brady Hoke at Michigan, right? Notre Dame with the multiple, you know, all the – you could go all over Alabama with Price and all this, and you get, you know, the luck of getting Nick Saban.
Jay ForemanHOST
But you had some downturns, right?
Bobby McAllisterGUEST
So that's what kind of transpired on that play.
Bobby McAllisterGUEST
And I remember Coach Cooper looked at me on the sideline on the USC side when I was getting up.
Bobby McAllisterGUEST
He said, unbelievable.
Bobby McAllisterGUEST
You know, I think you printed that.

Jack EblingHOST
to you?
Connor EaregoodGUEST
Two things.
Connor EaregoodGUEST
Number one, your frontcourt has to be a lot better, and it was going to be hard to replace Kohler and Cooper.
Connor EaregoodGUEST
I don't think people realize how good they were last season, and Kohler's numbers dipped, but you have to realize he was taking double teams and getting beat on and all those sorts of things.
Gary BebanGUEST
There's a major difference for Chesney with the portal.
Gary BebanGUEST
The Proto had a squad, a coaching squad, with Pepper Rogers and John Cooper and and others, McKittrick, great coaches that all went on with great coaching careers.
Gary BebanGUEST
And they had a great ability to put the right talent in the right place and put the right system in place for that talent rather than the transition portal that Chesney has used, Bob has used so effectively to return UCLA to a competitive circumstance.
Gary BebanGUEST
Yeah.
Dusty DvoracekGUEST
Obviously, a former Sooner and my old teammate and good friend on the Mississippi State side.
Dusty DvoracekGUEST
There's a lot of crossovers with John Cooper, coaching the tight end, Big Phil Lodhol, the offensive line coach.
Dusty DvoracekGUEST
So, you know, obviously there's a lot of familiarity just between the staffs.
Dusty DvoracekGUEST
And look, I mean, Mississippi State's on a two-game losing streak.
