Early life
Schembechler was born and raised in Barberton, Ohio, a suburb of Akron. His nickname "Bo" came from his sister's attempts to say "brother" when they were young children. Schembechler's father was a firefighter. Despite the fact that the other candidate was reported to have obtained a stolen copy himself, Schembechler's seminal experiences was seeing his father refusing to sign a forged copy of a civil-service exam. Schembechler's father took the exam without knowing the answers, skipped one more question than the other candidates, and did not receive the award he coveted. Schembechler often related to the tale, saying that the experience taught him more about ethics than any lecture ever had.
Schembechler attended Miami University, Ohio, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He played football under two legendary, but completely different, coaches. Sid Gillman, Miami's first coach, was an innovative offensive mind and one of the modern passing game's fathers. His theories laid the groundwork for football's West Coast offense. However, Gillman resigned in 1948 to become an Army assistant coach, and George Blackburn replaced him. Blackburn left to join Gillman's teaching staff at Cincinnati before Schembechler's last season, and Woody Hayes took over. The fiery Hayes embraced the sport, eschewed the pass, and demanded more physical fitness from his linemen. Hayes stressed repetition rather than inventing, because he wanted his players to play flawlessly. Hayes' impact on his teenage protege was evident over the past 40 years. Schembechler graduated from Miami in 1951 and obtained his master's degree at Ohio State University in 1952 while serving as a graduate assistant coach under Hayes, who had taken over OSU's head coach. Schembechler began as an assistant at Presbyterian College in 1954, followed by a year as a freshman coach at Bowling Green. Schembechler took over as head coach at Northwestern in 1956 and spent the next two seasons as a defensive assistant. Hayes recruited Schembechler to serve on his Ohio State staff for another year in 1958. Schembechler spent five years in Ohio State and became one of Hayes' most trusted assistants. During that time, the two best friends developed their lifelong friendship. Schembechler was fond of recalling the number of times Hayes "fired" him, but only to call a graduate assistant to fetch him after tempers had calmed.
Fields of Honor, written by coach John Pont's niece, Sally Pont, is about Schembechler, Hayes, Parseghian, and several of their "Cradle of Coaches" compatriots.
