Talk:Fielding H. Yost

West Virginia
How can his parents be natives of West Virginia? How can there be any mention of West Virginia before 1863?

I'm deleting "Ironically" from the first section because that's improper usage of that word. --152.3.219.135 01:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm moving this here
so that we can talk about it, and perhaps put it back and perhaps not. Carptrash 20:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Before he died he shared all his football coaching secrets to his great grandchild Zack Stackhouse of Houston Minnesota who has led the Hurricanes to six straight High School championships.


 * Comment: Sounds fairly implausible and like a vanity statement, especially as written.  I'm sure a seminal coach would impact dozens of high school coaches indirectly, but without citation this has no place in the article.   (On a totally different topic, one coach he clearly did influence was Dan McGugin, his brother-in-law, whose article I'm trying to improve as a proud Vanderbilt alum.)

Shouldn't his coaching record list 'Stanford' instead of 'San José State'? 68.33.193.213 20:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Yost was the coach at Stanford for 1900. Also, I know for a fact that his record is not the 190-34-11 listed in the article. Why weren't real sources used for this article? Fthis 20:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Corrected the factual errors listed in the article. Fthis 19:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

COACH FIELDING YOST'S UNETHICAL COACHING METHODS
Having read the book SPORTS SCANDALS, I have learned that Fielding Yost beat the opposition for many years by using highly unethical methods; one time, for example, he paid a man to play on the UM team against the college level players. However, it must be noted that it was Yost himself, and not the University of Michigan, who was unethical. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Glammazon (talk • contribs) 23:15, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Semiprotection review

 * 16:08, 8 July 2008 Daniel protected Fielding Yost ‎ (lots and lots of vandalism recently [edit=autoconfirmed:move=autoconfirmed])

That was 15 months ago. I'd like to review this to see if semiprotection is still necessary. As well as welcoming opinions from regular editors I've contacted user talk:Daniel, the protecting admin. --TS 09:55, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Punting
It is said (by whom? e.g. Edwin Pope) that Yost and McGugin focused on the punting game almost to the detriment of fundamentals. McGugin punted some in the 1910 game with southern all stars coached by Yost (read about it at 1910 College Football All-Southern Team) and unsurprisingly put on a clinic. Any games even while at college where Yost ever punted? Cake (talk) 21:54, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
