The coach chosen to headline Electronic Arts’ foray into college football was a bit of a strange choice, as while he was a coaching legend, most of his success was at the NFL level. He was only just returning to college coaching in 1992, when the first game bearing his name came out. While his team did win the Blockbuster Bowl on New Year’s Day 1993 and finish #9 in the AP poll in his first season back in college, he had suffered two losing seasons and retired before the second video game in the series actually came out. After the ‘95 version, EA dropped this endorsement and called the ‘96 version “College Football USA.” Name this legendary coach.
