So if API is erecting this bust because API is the only school that John Heisman coached at that has a Heisman winner what are they going to do if Clemson, Ga Tech or Rice wins a Heisman?

They're not erecting the bust because of this. Think of the bust as nothing more than a glorified sign advertising what the 3 statues are for.

In more ways that one. Kinda like if Kentucky put up a statue of the Bear because he coached there a few yrs but was a winner at Bama.


If Kentucky had three Bear Bryant Coaching Award winners that they were going to put up statues for, why not?

Kentucky and Texas A&M aren't allowed to own a piece of the Bear Bryant legacy? Bear Bryant sprung fully formed from Denny Chimes? I did not know that.

I hear LSU may put up a statue or two in the near future

One may be Shaq - him slamming a basketball would be pretty sweet

If there is another one I'm rooting for Cecil Collins. Dude was a beast on and off the field... maybe that one could be an action shot of him climbing thru a residential window

Kinda challenging for a sculptor tho

Old-timer, you're usually pretty reasonable about Auburn stuff even though I swear you read Auburn sites more than Bama

I don't get how you don't understand what is going on here

We have THREE statues of our THREE Heisman winners

And Heisman was one of the first coaches for Auburn

Why not put a BUST of him by the winners from our school


You are totally correct. Your University should be able to put up any kind of statues that you want, and shouldn't have to explain to any other fan base the reason you did it. That being said, don't question when another school puts up something that you don't think that they should, or you just want to make fun.

You're missing the point. It's not about wining percentage. It's about him coaching at auburn and us being the only school to have won a heisman where he coached. It's nothing like if uk were to put up a bear statue. We understand he didn't do much while here, but it's not about that.


That's just plain dumb!

With that line of reasoning, will you guys take it down when a player at one of the other schools wins one?

So, Auburn is making a statue of a guy whose contributions to that University, was a 12-4-2 record over 5 yrs and that was it?
