Gary Moeller passed away today. Though he coached at TTUN (successor to Bo Schembechler), I've always had a soft spot for him since he was from where I grew up. He played LB for Woody here at OSU, and deep down was still a Buckeye. His sister is a long time resident in Dublin, and raised her family here as Buckeyes. He coached a long time in the NFL after his college years. Here's a small blurb from TTUN's released article

More importantly, he was overwhelmingly loved and respected by his players. At both the professional, and collegiate level, Mo was a player's coach. He cared about those players after they got done playing. Mo loved leadership! While he was an X's and O's genius, he always felt the most important aspect of a player's character was developing their leadership traits. He never stopped coaching attitude and character. He loved players who exhibited leadership skills, and believed they were the heart and soul of any team he coached.

He also suffered bad breaks, and poor timing in his career. But, you never heard Gary Moeller complain or make excuses. He was a class act. He was a good man.

Thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP Coach Mo.
