College Football Legends Immortalized in Bronze

[Muck]

Found a stadium pic thread on Shaggy that had a couple of statues of coaches (Neyland & Dooley below). Given how bizarre the Dooley one looks I thought I'd look around and see what else is out there.

There is of course only one place to start:
Coach

Robert Neyland - I really like this pose

Vince Dooley - WTF Georgia?

Bear Bryant - This thing is huge btw

Gene Stallings - yes he actually has one too (PS look at the background because...)

...Lotho Sackville-Baggins is now up

Miami has a small army...
Ara in awe of Ara

Bo trying to escape the Scarlet menace

Weeb doing his best Earle Bruce impression

John Port

Earl Blaik looking spiffy

Carm Cozza w Carm Cozza

Paul Dietzel - is he giving the shocker?!

John Harbaugh
-pending-
(don't do anything stupid before it's up John)

Howard Shnellenberger @ FAU - now THIS is the kind of goofiness I'm looking for!

Nile Kinnick just got out of class

Tom Osborne

The ND collection
Knute the Great King of Norway, Denmark & England

Frank Leahy

"Doc" Lou

Ara part deux

Rockne doubles up in South Bend - College Football HOF (they'll probably melt it down in Georgia to make Vince Dooley some sun glasses)

Steve Spurrier & a couple of other dudes (a QB and a FB apparently)

Bobbah in his comfah pants

Eddie G. Robinson

Pop Warner is old school, he has a plaque on a rock

Sadly Amos Alonzo Stagg was sold for $4,300

Proof that the TSUN are cheap bastards
1/2 Bo

LaVell Edwards (or maybe not)

Paterno

...and to bring us full circle

Who did I miss?

Annual COY winner Kirk Ferentz?

 

[Hodgepodge]

Annual COY winner Kirk Ferentz?

A bronze statue for Ferentz? Please...



Such a superior coach clearly deserves gold.

Love the Paterno statue.

Jason White apparently has one. Legend?

Dan Devine has one now outside Notre Dame, making it 5 statues outside the stadium. Dan was okay, but I guess they had to find another coach since they had 5 gates and 4 coaches. He is in the Hall of Fame I guess:

The father of Georgia Southern Football, and a kinda funny looking statue, Erk Russell:

Barry Switzer

Jim Thorpe:

Les Miles?

Don't look at Tom Osborne's statue too long...he'll see right into your soul

Two I shouldn't have missed (Switzer & Devine) and one I never would have thought of (Erk Russel). Speaking of which is it just me or are they trying to make Erk Russel look like G.I. Joe's Roadblock?

I intentionally limited my search to coaches. There are a bunch of player statues out there (anyone seen Ricky Williams?).

I'm actually somewhat surprised that Nebraska doesn't have a statue for Delaney.

Edit: Weird freudian slip, I clearly meant Devaney but Delaney is funnier.

Here's a better picture of Osborne's statue.

Colt

This is a fantastic thread - great idea.


Here is one of Coach Alvarez - just waking up and heading out to pick up the news paper.

John McKay at Southern Cal, thinking deep thoughts!

Texas has a nice one of Darryl Royal

 

[jwinslow]

Why isn't Colt wearing the uniform design he wore at Texas?

 

[BigWoof31]

Legendary Arkansas Coach Frank Broyles is about ready to pop you one right in the jaw.

And here is one of Georgia Tech Coach Bobby Dodd, pausing in disgust at the current state of the team.

This can't be a coincidence, can it?
