Howard Jones.
He won three national championships while playing at Yale. He won five national championships while coaching at Yale (1) and USC (4). He also won 5 Rose Bowls (5-0). The man was a winner wherever he went, and deserves some consideration.
Remember, Rushmore doesn't have JFK, Reagan, Clinton, or Obama. It has the men who were foundational to the game in its youth.

no, i can't give you credit for 1961, when OSU won somethings called FWAA, PS. but if you really want to, that's cool, because i just learned that OSU and usc split in 2002 of all years when usc won somethings called DuS, MGR, SR.
wow this is fun, i just learned that usc won in 76 and 79 too when i never thought that before.
and OSU doesn't get credit for 69 when they won something called MGR (i guess even this wasn't good enough for OSU to claim)
so i may have overlooked UPI. i'll grant you 3
and OSU doesn't get credit for 70 when they won something called NFF

We didn't win in 69.....or that would have given him 6. Congrats on new found success though...

Why because bobby has more wins? What else you got cause that isn't close to enough...

yep plus Bobby won two national championships (1993 and 1999) and finished in the top five of the AP Poll for 14 straight years from 1987 through 2000. I didnt say he was the best but he deserves a spot on the rock

So the basic consensus is Bear, Knute, best coach on your favorite team, and one other.

This.
You could argue plenty besides these 2 as they're both at Babe Ruth status in the coaching ranks. Candidates could be:
Yost
Woody
McKay
Neyland
Heisman
Pop Warner
Barry Switzer
Bobby Bowden
Steve Spurrier (don't forget this man won a conference title with DUKE!)
Nick Saban (if you take his current rate of success, add what is likely to happen over the next 8 years, and he's way up near the top)
Amos Stagg
Vince Dooley
Darrell Royal (his wishbone offense resulted in 2+ decades of option football dominating the landscape)
Bud Wilkinson
Tom Osbourne

Spurrier deserves consideration for how he changed offenses in the SEC

He changed Florida's offense. Not the SEC's teams. Ironically, at SC he runs the ball tons more than he ever has...wonder why?

Curious...why 8 more years for Saban?
