Less than 4% of the country's population lives in Ohio, but 15% of college football's major conference head coaches were born there - the most for any state. Why?
"The state's passion for football is fed by a history of tough, lunchbucket labor in mining, manufacturing and steelmaking. Ohio has one of the highest percentages of native-born residents of any state, which helps its interest in football regenerate itself through generations. Ohio is the seventh-largest state but has the third-most high school football players.
But what really separates Ohio from other states is an uncommonly high number of decent college football programs."
