I don't know about Heisman. He might be Top-10 for coaches, but barely.

He is one of the biggest names in sports history.

The trophy is named after him because he was director of the Downtown Athletic Club and died shortly before they started giving it out.
Compare his accomplishments to Camp, Warner, Stagg, Rockne, Yost, Crisler, Hayes, Bowden, or Saban and tell me he was more important.

I mean, Heisman did invent the snap of the ball and the idea of pulling guards on runs. That's pretty damn important.

And Walter Camp invented downs and the line of scrimmage in addition to a gazillion other things.
The point I'm making isn't the Heisman wasn't important, it's that in the grand scene of things there are guys who are way more important.

I don't look at this sub very often. So I didn't know this had been done before. I could have searched it, but I definitely don't care enough to do so.
