he's had an incredible run.

- found and made stars out of quarterbacks perfect for his system (Josh Harris, Alex Smith, Tim Tebow, Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett)

- 3 national championships, 7 conference championships and 11-3 bowl record

- program builder and turnaround king; he took a 2-9 MAC team and made them 8-3 his first opportunity as a HC, he made a Mountain West team into a Fiesta Bowl champion, he revitalized a down Florida program and brought them more national championships than Steve Spurrier could, then came home and restored Ohio State after an ugly break-up with their 2nd national title in 48 years

- the ignorance/favoritism within his programs will probably fade from memory the longer he stays out of coaching, but he let the best players run the program in Florida (Percy Harvin, Brandon Spikes and Janoris Jenkins failing drug tests weekly, Aaron Hernandez doing God knows what, Chris Rainey kicked off the team for telling his girlfriend "time to die, bitch" then brought back in a month FOR THE GEORGIA GAME). he seemed to have toughened up at Ohio State but then this whole Zach Smith fiasco evaporated that.
