Glenn Scobey ""Pop"" Warner (1871-1954) stands among the giants of
the coaching profession, alongside Knute Rockne, Amos Alonzo Stagg,
George Halas and Vince Lombardi. Warner turned a ragtag team from a
Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Indian boarding school at into a national
power and later won multiple national championships at the
University of Pittsburgh and Stanford. His 319 victories made him
the winningest coach in college football history. A pioneer of the
forward pass, he is credited with the invention of the single-wing
formation - widely considered the genesis of modern-day offense -
as well as the double wing, the three-point stance for backs, the
naked bootleg and the spiral punt. He also developed improvements
to shoulder pads, tackling dummies, blocking sleds and much more.
This career retrospective traces Warner's rise from his small town
roots to become one of the most influential coaches in football,
who helped refine the sport from a tedious, push-and-shove affair
into the dynamic, high-speed game of today.
