Rated Start because it could be filled with many more details, and rated Low because it is not likely to be searched for. Bornagain4 21:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This is a Hall of Fame Coach whose "maxims" are still used by many coaches today, over half a decade after his death... his teams won parts of several national championships and he was the coach of the last team to go unscored upon during the regular season. I think a Mid is at least warranted and honestly, a high is a more suitable level of importance.  A search for Robert Neyland on Wikipedia returns over 99,000 results.CJC47 00:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, a search for Robert Neyland may return that many, but a search for "Robert Neyland" (notice the quotes, which make it a phrase) returns 6 (although it says 7), and one of those isn't about Robert Neyland, so really 5. Per the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_football (I think this falls under the "An article on a specific person in the college football hall of fame or who is a recipient of a major college award (Heisman + ...?) or was the subject of a media frenzy." category), it will probably be Mid, and maybe High. I'm upping it to Mid becuase of this. -- MECU ≈ talk 18:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Please also realize this isn't really a total discussion about how important someone/something is to college football. Although that is a portion of the discussion, it's not the end-all factor of the assessment project. Popularity is just as important (if not more important in some cases). I would agree he ranks high in importance, but in popularity, it's low. -- MECU ≈ talk 18:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Not known by this name
There's a very good reason a Google search for "Robert Neyland" doesn't return many results on this man. He never referred to himself by that name, and was rarely called that. He was popularly known as "Bob Neyland" by college football fans and the media. If you search under "Bob Neyland", with the quotes, you'll get 2,790 results on Google, and all of them are him. Formally, he referred to himself as, and was known not as Robert Neyland, but as "Robert R. Neyland", and for that name in quotes on Google, you get 467 results.

What's the deal with all the question marks placed in lieu of dates of death? Did all of these relatives vanish without a trace? Bms4880 (talk) 04:19, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
