I feel the urge to go old-school today, and, since I'll be in Nashville this weekend, why not Vanderbilt? This is coach Dan McGugin (here pictured later in his career), who in 1904 led Vanderbilt to a 9-0 record as the Commodores outscored opponents 474-4. Vanderbilt didn’t receive much consideration for the national title, but came close again in 1906 and 1911.
Nowadays, most people know McGugin as being the person who inspired Tennessee to hire General Robert Neyland because the Volunteers couldn't beat their in-state rival. Photo courtesy of Vanderbilt University.
