I didn't say you did say 2014. Fickel was Ohio State's coach in 2011 or did you forget.Strike two. I never said 2014. Fickel was not even a HC until 2017. He was coach of the year in 2021. 13-1 at Cincy. . You can do a search on this board and a lot of people wanted him.
So--after Franklin sucked for 2 years and went 11-10 some people wanted a guy that just won coach of the year? Shocking that people who don't really watch football other than Penn State football would want the coach of the year. Why are you even making that somewhat of an issue?
