The absolute classic "what could have been" story. Bo Rein checked all the boxes - relatable, driven, smart,, innovator, motivator. He redefined offenses at that time. He was CLK before CLK was born. He was very Saban like in his approach. He may very well have redefined LSU football for decades.

Check out "The Bo You Don't Know" on YouTube.

Hoping to watch it later.
Some other Bo Rein tidbits:
He was a RB at OSU, playing for Woody Hayes.
He was a standout out baseball player at OSU, playing SS and LF. He made CWS tourn team 2 years and lead OSU to it's only CSW championship
He was a member of the Lou Holtz coaching tree.
Was youngest college HC ever when he was hired at NCSU.
More details if you're interested.
Like many LSU fans, I've always wondered what LSU football would've been like had he coached there.

Bo Rein signed 7 players on NSD. When we would sign 40-45 at the time. Let’s just say the jury was still out

He was hired eight days before signing day. Signing day used to be by conference and in the SEC it was the second Saturday of each December. This held until 1981. He was hired on Friday, November 30.

is Rein pronounced like "Ryan" or is it pronounced like "Reign"?


I just watched some of the documentary on him, I guess its "Rhine" like the river.
