Just watching the Holiday Bowl and both coaches are from Ohio.

Does Ohio produce the best/or most college coaches in D1?

Just off the top of my head.

Jim Tressel OSU
Urban Meyer UF
Les Miles LSU
Bob Stoops OKLA
Mike Stoops ZONA
Bo Pelini NEB

Just look at all the NC's won by those coaches just in this decade.

Not to mention the "older" guys: Don Shula, Paul Brown, Chuck Noll, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler and Ara Parseghian just to name a few.

We certainly have established a little bit of a reputation to knowledgeable college football fans as a cradle of coaches....
