[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 606416, member: 322"] I’ve done posts the last five years about the history of GT football. Last year’s post was at [URL]https://gtswarm.com/threads/114-years-of-gt-football-%E2%80%93-how-will-history-repeat.15192/[/URL] I arbitrarily say 115 years since 1904 was Heisman’s first year. He was our first real coach and between 1892 and 1904 we either had no coach or a teacher as coach. Here’s a graph that shows three things. First in red line, the average JHowell Power Ranking for that coach*. Next in green line the average winning % for that coach. And finally, in the blue bar, the average yearly JHowell ranking finish for that coach. (More on JHowell at [URL]http://www.jhowell.net/cf/cfindex.htm[/URL] ) Bobby Dodd was far and away the best and Bill Lewis the worst. Heisman came in a “respectable” second.
