[edit] Iowa State????

College Football Data Warehouse lists the 1895 coach at Iowa State to be Bert German and not Pop Warner...--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Some sources claim that Art Kahler was the only person to coach at two different major colleges at the same time: Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, Arthur D. Kahler.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

John Heisman coached Akron and Oberlin in 1894. At the time Oberlin was considered one of the powers in the West (now mid-west) and Akron beat Ohio State that year.

If you want the whole story I suggest you read “When Oberlin was King of the Gridiron: The Heisman Years” by Nat Brandt. It is a great read.
As for Warner, in the early days of college football the head coach position was not what it is today. A lot of the time they weren’t hired until after the season started. The team needed the gate receipts from the first game to pay for him. Records are spotty at best. Below are some additional sources on Iowa State and Warner relationship. There is little doubt that he coached for Iowa State.
Also be careful in assuming that College Football Data Warehouse is always accurate. 1st it is an incomplete data base. They still need to add several schools so some coaches I have found several mistakes.
