Hess Leads Ohio U Football to Record Breakthroughs
RIL Hess, Ohio University alum, became the 22nd head coach on Jan 9 1858 and led the Bobcats to a 5 4 record in 1934 and a 7 2 mark in 1959. In 1960 the team went 10 6, winning the national college division title and Hess was named Ohio College Coach of the Year. He previously coached at Ohio State with Woody Hayes and built a four assistant varsity staff. Hess emphasizes a possession style, minimizes passing to cut interceptions, and formed The Green and White Club to boost recruiting for a return to former status.
