    Best part is all of the above are literally within an hours drive from each other. Make a triangle from Canton to Cleveland to Youngstown and all are in this area. I live and grew up 15 minutes south of Canton...

    And honestly, the best coach on that list is probably Larry Kehres, long time head coach at Division III powerhouse Mount Union college in Alliance Ohio.

    from Wikipedia:

    Kehres was the head football coach at Mount Union for 27 seasons, from 1986 through the 2012 season. In May 2013, Kehres retired with a record of 332–24–3 at Mount Union, and a winning percentage of .929, the highest in college football history. Kehres also has the most national titles (11: 1993, 1996–1998, 2000–2002, 2005–2006, 2008, 2012), conference titles (23), and unbeaten regular seasons (21) of any coach in college football history. He was succeeded as head football coach by his 37-year-old son, Vince.

    My nephew just accepted a scholarship to Akron, because of the coaching staff.
    I told him today at brunch that the MAC is the most corrupt conference in the nation.
    He was "there is no such thing as the Detroit mafia" (with a wink)

    He'll tell me about all the bullshit calls this fall.
