[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 234738, member: 2175"] From Sports on Earth which had some sort of top 100 football coaches of all time, ever and always, Tech's Bobby Dodd is rated No; 33. Though there are a number of coaches above him whose clock he rewound with some regularity. Interesting, anyway, particularly for the Doddophobes who either played for him or watched the teams he coached. The most interesting point of the whole thing is the last sentence. 33. Bobby Dodd Teams: Georgia Tech (1945-66) Record: 165-64-8 in 22 seasons A star quarterback under Robert Neyland at Tennessee, Dodd made a quick transition from Volunteers player to Georgia Tech assistant, and he'd never leave the Yellow Jackets. After a 14-season apprenticeship under coaching great William Alexander (who had taken over for John Heisman), Dodd ascended to the head coaching job in 1945 and continued the Yellow Jackets' success. While not voted No. 1, Georgia Tech claims a share of the 1952 national title for going 12-0 with a Sugar Bowl win. Dodd led the Yellow Jackets to back-to-back SEC titles in 1951-52, a time in which they went 31 games without a loss (including two ties). Dodd finished with a losing record only twice and coached nine teams that finished in the top 13, and at one point he won eight straight bowl games that he coached in, including three Sugar Bowls, two Orange Bowls and a Cotton Bowl. From 1904-66, Georgia Tech had only three coaches -- Heisman, Alexander and Dodd, all Hall of Famers. [/QUOTE]
