Charles "Gus" Dorais (1891-1954) is best known as the passing end
of Notre Dame's "Dorais to Rockne" tandem that helped revolutionize
football's forward pass in the early 1910s. A triple threat prep
star from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, Dorais was a captain and
four-year starter at Notre Dame, becoming the school's first
consensus All-American in 1913. Over the next four decades, Dorais
gained prominence as a professional player in the pre-NFL days and
college football coach-most notably at the University of
Detroit-before finishing as the head coach of the Detroit Lions.
During his decades-long coaching career, he tallied more than 150
wins, becoming one of the football innovators in the first half of
the 20th century. A pioneer of offensive strategies, Dorais played
with and coached against all the prominent football legends of his
time.
