Tech football Rushmore

[swampsting]

Chattanooga paper's columnist posed this musical question today:
Pick your college's football Rushmore.
Doesn't have to be a player. Could be a coach. Hell, could be the radio guy. Even the mascot.
Or even Jan Kemp.
I gave him Dodd, Calvin, Robert Lavette (just over Joe Hamilton) and ...
Jan Kemp.
The columnist is born and bred Smyrna and shot back with a what about the young left-hander (he knew the Kings) and Ciraldo? For a SEC guy, he knows his Tech lore better than most.
Instead of more hand wringing over realignment and the future - or suicide blondeing - of college football, something fun a couple of weeks before game start might not be a bad way to kill time.

Clint Castleberry, Bobby Dodd, Joe Hamilton, and... Tom Luginbill

Dodd, Hamilton, Jones, Ivery

4 National Championships under 4 different coaches.

Heisman, Alexander, Dodd and Ross.

I don't believe there is a single school with more than 4 different coaches to win a National Championship. I know that was true in the late 90s but someone may have caught up with us since then.

 

[CornerBlitz]

Dodd, Heisman, Curry, Hamilton

Calvin, Sean Jones, Casltebury, Ross, O’Leary, King also good choices.

Well our Rushmore would be on a blank spot on Stone Mountain so it would have to be four identical busts of Reggie Ball of course

Heisman, Dodd, Hamilton, Johnson. I know of the past players, but Hamilton is the best QB in our history, and Calvin is the greatest player at his position in the history of the sport.

Yeah, this is where I’m at. It doesn’t feel quite right, but the two greatest coaches and arguably the two most electric players are hard to argue against.

If we subdivided coaches and players then probably Heisman, Alexander, Dodd, and Ross (with O’Leary and Johnson in the wings).
