This is not the first time a top level coach was poached from aggy.
There was no football season in 1918 due to the War to End all Wars.
In back to back seasons, 1917 and 1919, aggy football was undefeated and unscored upon.
In 1917, they were 8-0 and outscored their opponents 270-0.
In 1919, aggy went 10-0 and outscored their opponents 275-0.
Their coach was coaching royalty. Dana X. Bible. You may have heard of him.
Dana was poached by Nebraska. Eventually, Bible was poached by Texas in 1936. Dana brought Texas football to national prominence as a head coach and he spent another 10 years at Texas as AD.
As AD, he brought back to back nattys in baseball in ‘49 and ‘50.
So aggy should be used to this by now.
