That is sliightly inaccurate lol.John Cooper won 111 of 158 games at Ohio State in the 80s/90s. He produced quite a few All Americans. We were glad to see him fired.
Why? He couldn't win bowl games and couldn't beat Michigan. He never won an outright conference title much less a national championship.
He fell apart his final two seasons which is why he was fired.
Going 6-6 with a budget the size of Ohio State is rightfully unacceptable.
It took 14 years after firing Cooper to win a Natty.
Even Woody Hayes was rough at the end. /ducks
If you are one of 10 or so teams with budgets to go win a national title you should expect one every 20 years at least.
Comparing NFL winning % with NFL is just goofy however.
Garrett hasn't won enough big games and that matters. And if he doesnt win enough this year he will be gone.
But his regular season record isn't the issue and hasn't been.
Fans are just crying early because they like to cry mostly but also because losing sucks and no one wants to watch a team lose 3 in a row.
Garrett's job comes down to how he finishes this year and has since before the season began.
