Everyone outside their respective schools hates these coaches. But all elite coaches are hated. I respect both these guys. Notice I didn't say I liked them. But I would trade our coach for either of them in a heartbeat.
Think about this- if OSU wins out, there will have been 8 coaches in the 145 year history of NCAA football that have 3 or more championships. 2 of them are (possibly) on this field.
And they have done it when there is no (visible) cheating and with scholarship limitations. Things Bear and others didn't have to worry about.
