When considering excellent college football history, you must have the Cornell Big Red in the conversation. Cornell football represents Cornell University in the NCAA's Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The program collected five national titles and won over 600 games with legendary players and coaches. Names such as Glenn "Pop" Warner, Heisman Trophy finalist, and NCAA record-breaker Ed Marinaro have suited up for the Big Red. At the same time, seven College Football Hall of Famers (including Warner, Gil Dobie, and Carl Snavely) and multiple-time Super Bowl winner George Seifert have set the strategy as head coaches. They are a part of football history, and we are pleased to share their story in this collection of written posts.

The National Football Foundation selected Bill Warner to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Bill's famous brother was Glenn Pop Warner. The two played professionally for the All-Syracuse team in the original World Series of Football in 1902.
Warner's impact truly blossomed in his coaching career. Following his graduation, he head-coached at Cornell in 1903, leading them to a respectable 6-3-1 record in his debut season. He then embarked on a remarkable journey, coaching at various universities across the country, including North Carolina, Colgate, Saint Louis, and Oregon.
Always remember the "workhorse guard" who, a century ago, dared to imagine a different way to play the game. Remember Bill Warner, the innovator, the titan, and the Hall of Famer.
