The Gridiron Legend of Pop Warner

Pop Warner, was a legendary college football coach whose name became synonymous with youth football. His impressive career spanned 44 years (1895-1938) during which he amassed a whopping 319 wins, a record that stood until the 1980s.

He was known for his innovative offensive schemes that dominated the first half of the 20th century. While coaching greats like Jim Thorpe at Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Warner left a lasting mark on the game by introducing the huddle, numbered jerseys, and the spiral punt. His most significant contribution outside of coaching, however, came in 1934 when he co-founded the Pop Warner Little Scholars youth football organization, a program that continues to introduce young athletes to the sport today.
