Rose Bowl Hall of Fame
1925, 1927, and 1928 Rose Bowl Games
2018 Inductee
Glenn Scobey “Pop” Warner is regarded as one of the most innovative and creative coaches in college football history. In a coaching career that spanned nearly 45 years, Warner won a then-record 319 games and four national championships, the first three at the University of Pittsburgh and the final one at Stanford in 1926.
The legendary coach took Stanford to three appearances in the Rose Bowl Game and went 1–1–1. The first time he brought a team to The Granddaddy of Them All, Warner’s Stanford team was defeated 27–10 by Knute Rockne and the Four Horseman of Notre Dame on January 1, 1925. Two years later, Warner and Stanford returned to Pasadena for the 1927 Rose Bowl Game and tied Alabama 7–7, with both schools named national champions. Warner earned his first victory in a Rose Bowl Game in his third try, defeating
his former team, the Pitt Panthers, 7–6 in 1928.
Warner was a member of the inaugural class of inductees to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951. He died in 1954.
