Woody Hayes one-man show

COLUMBUS -- A one-man play about Woody Hayes probably could not have arrived at a better time.

The Ohio State football program is in a dramatic state of flux. NCAA violations have been admitted, punishment is being considered, and rookie coach Luke Fickell is almost certainly a one-year stop-gap in the job Hayes made so famous.

The results on the field have been worse. A narrow escape of Toledo and a thrashing at the hands of Miami, Fla. have the Buckeyes outside the Top 25 for the first time in seven years.

So, a nod toward one of the architect's of the program's rich tradition seems like a natural salve.

Meet Walter Adamkosky, a Columbus Hartley and Ohio State graduate, who has written, produced and directed a one-man play that will be showcased Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Ohio Theatre. He expects former players, coaches and the Hayes family to be in attendance.

"Woody: His Life, Times and Teachings," starring Columbus-area actor Jeff Hall, will debut at Ohio Theatre on Friday.

COLUMBUS | Walt Adamkosky wrote "Woody: His Life, Times and Teachings" to portray the Ohio State University coaching legend, "warts and all."

Maybe some see more warts than Adamkosky does, but after dozens of interviews and more than two years' worth of compilation and writing, the Columbus native feels he's got Hayes down pretty well.

"I call him the most simple, complicated man I've ever heard of," said Adamkosky, now a Cincinnati resident.

The greatest coach to ever walk the sideline. I don't give a damn what anyone else says. I would take the ghost of Woody Hayes over any of the coaches in the SEC today.
