Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Woody Hayes was the Ohio State football coach from 1951 through 1978. His teams won four national titles. In his last few years, his reputation was sullied by sideline outbursts, most notably one in which Hayes punched an opposing player. This very complimentary series of recollections by players, assistant coaches, opponents, and others will erase many of the lingering effects of Hayes' outbursts. He was extraordinarily well read, cared deeply about his players, was selfless with his time, and was a devoted member of the community, often donating appearance fees back to the organizations at which he spoke. Ohio State football fans will feel vindicated by the testimony concerning Hayes' good works, but they will most enjoy the anecdotes about his temper. (Former Hayes assistant and then longtime rival Bo Schembechler recalls the time when he and Hayes threw chairs at each other in a dispute over blocking technique.) This account will please anyone interested in the history of college football. Wes Lukowsky

4.0 out of 5 stars A good portrait of the man, but it tends to run together...., June 18, 1999
being woody's grandson, i liked it, there was a wide array of people talking to the author about him. I thought that my favorite section was the last, the friends, foes and fans part. it seems as if many people here in columbus have their own personal run-in or encounter with him and for me, those stories are infitley more interesting than anything else.

the recollections from the players and coaches were good, but they kind of blurred together under the "they may be smarter than me but i can outwork 'em" mantra.

overall, good job. the photos were pretty interesting. we have a few at home that will never make it out, including one of woody in my darth vader helmet at christmas (i must've been ten or less).

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming Look at a Great Coach, August 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I REMEMBER WOODY is a charming look at Woody Hayes through countless interviews with players, coaches, and others who knew him personally. Current themes appear--ruthlessly honest, hard working, obsessive about education, forever caring about his players, indifferent about money. And, of course, a little crazy.

I read this book quickly and with much enjoyment.

5.0 out of 5 stars The man his competition loved to hate, January 29, 1999
By A Customer
I was surprised that such a complete collection of stories and experiences existed. Woody was bigger than life but at the same time he was only a simple man that expected the best from everyone he touched. A must read for all fans--not just Buckeyes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Woody is one of the greatest men of all time.
This book shows Woody Hayes as the true person, not just the ranting coach on the sideline. As an aspiring coach, I see Woody as an excellent model for success. Read more

I've been a life-long Buckeye fan. Woody was a GOD. This book does a good job of showing every side of Woody and is worth the read. It's a quick read and interesting throughout.

This is a very honest, real-life appraisal of a man dearly loved by the people that knew him best. It does not just concentrate on Woody, the coach, it also shows you his concern... Read more
