The greatest coach ever??? I don't know. Maybe there were/are coaches out there who could out-coach him, but a better person there are probably none.

Woody died in his sleep, in his own bed. That day, he was scheduled to give a talk to a group of 5th graders. Since he couldn't make it, Archie Griffin filled in for him.

Woody & Ann are buried in Union Cemetary,just north of the OSU campus.Whenever I visit,their headstone looks like an OhioState giftshop:scarlet & grey banners, buckeyes, etc. A fine tribute to a man who has been gone for 24 years now.

People would sometimesask Ann Hayesif shewas ever going todivorceWoody.Her reply was"Woody & Ihave been married for many tears...and *neither* of us haveever mentioned theword 'divorce'" (pause) *Murder* on *many* occasions,but never divorce!"

After OSU'slast touchdown in the1968 50-14 rout of Michigan,the PAT team ran abroken play which degenerated intoan unsuccessful2point attempt.After the game,reporters asked himwhy he'd gone for two.Woody didn't want to embarass the PAT team, so he said "Because they wouldn't let me go for three!"
Woody was buried with a set of post hole diggers in Union Cemetery.
