A truly spectacular one, that's for sure.
Homer Hill Norton was born in 1896, just two years after the birth of Texas A&M football. His college career at Birmingham-Southern featured him playing 4 different sports.
After college, he played minor league baseball for the Birmingham Barons.
Following his stint as a minor leaguer, Norton took over as head football coach at Centenary from 1919 to 1921. He then became an assistant football coach at Centenary while simultaneously becoming Centenary's head basketball coach from 1921-1926.
He took over the Centenary football program again from 1926-1933 but also was the school's head baseball coach from 1924-1928.
He became the head football coach at Texas A&M from 1934-1947 and also coached the Aggies' baseball team for one season.
He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1971.
His records:
143–75–18 (football)
49–43 (basketball)
62–37–1 (baseball)

Born in Pickens County, Alabama where their first courthouse was burned by Brigadier General Croxton.
Croxton is the same Union general who burned most of The University of Alabama's buildings.

Also, that last pic seems like a good one for Aggie history. Looks a little suggestive.

Dude, Eddie Orgeron, Larry Coker, and Gene Chizik have done it. How hard can it be?

Jimbo will win a FNC before his contract runs out.

Not a coach that totally destroyed Florida State's illustrious football program.
