Input from Chuck's family
Stobart's family has shared some additional information but we need sourcing. If anyone cares to help with that, here are some leads:
 * Sources conflict as to whether Stobart was born in 1932 or 1934. According to the family (and sources), 1932 is correct. He tried later in his career to shave a couple years off his resume.
 * Stobart's father died (struck by lightning) when Chuck was 13 years old. This left his mother to raise 7 kids on her own.
 * I did find this clipping about Ross Stobart, who worked for the Appalachian Power Co. and died in 1947 when he was electrocuted by a live wire at a new power plant that was under construction.


 * Stobart served in the Coast Guard. This is why his college football career didn't happen until he was in his mid-20s.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Sourcing found.

Thanks to Chuck's family for sharing these details. Hopefully, we can find sources to move these great stories into the article. Cbl62 (talk) 21:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Stobart also played baseball at Ohio U. and was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles but chose to coach instead.
 * Stobart had a good relationship with Woody Hayes when Stobart was a high school coach in Ohio. When Stobart went to Michigan with Bo, Woody wouldn't talk to him again.
 * Once, when Stobart was receiving an award, the presenter mentioned that in addition to his athletic accomplishments, he had been a 4.0 student. As Stobart walked to the podium to receive the award, Woody grabbed him and said, "Ain't nobody that good."
 * Stobart nearly succeeded in recruiting Archie Griffin to Michigan. He persuaded Griffin to visit Ann Arbor and it was a great visit. Woody initially wasn't interested in Griffin because he was too small, but once Bo wanted him, Woody had to have him.
 * Stobart had a close friendship with Sparky Anderson and specialized in recruiting Cincinatti. Stobart reportedly recruited 10 or 11 All-Americans from Ohio. There was a photo (where?) of Cinicinatti with a circle around it that said "Stobart country" due to his success in recruiting there.
 * Stobart was known for pioneering the "check with me" offense at USC.
 * Stobart had a role in promoting Lovie Smith's career.
