Looking a Urban Meyer in the pre-game warm ups and stuff I was struck that he didn't really look like "the coach of The Ohio State University".

Of course I don't think that is really that uncommon now. Back in the day, Bryant was "Alabama", Hayes was "Ohio State", Osborne was "Nebraska", Darryl Royal was "Texas", Schembecher was "Michigan", Chollie Mac was "LSU", etc.

Today it's not really like that. Saban is kind of identifiable with Alabama. But a Mazhlan doesn't really say Auburn, Meyer doesn't really say Ohio State, etc. Heck I don't think I'd recognize the Oregon coach if I saw him on the street.

Les Miles really is LSU. His personality, and especially a lot of his press conferences, just really do fit the state and school.

I'd say the same about Mark Richt and Georgia, and maybe Dan Mullen at MSU. They all just seem like really tight fits.

Malzahn definitely "says Auburn."

He doesn't like outsiders because they're not part of the Fambly, he is incredibly religious, he only likes white people, he drives a truck, etc.

He's been there less than 3 years. No shite.

I always think "can I see them with a statue on campus?"

To that end, Gus certainly seems the part more than Chizik

Helfrich looks like the kind of dude that would be bagging my groceries. Totally unsuspecting.

I can already tell that McElwain doesn't look like Florida's head coach.

One would have thought that Charlie Weis would have only been a head football coach at "St. Tubolard's Fat Camp"
