Today's Tidbit... Football's First Coaching Schools and Clinics

I recently came across a claim that the first football coaching clinic came in 1924 under the direction of Ira "Irl" Tubbs, then the football and basketball coach at Wisconsin's Superior Normal School. Tubbs played football at William Jewell before coaching at Superior High School, where his top player was Ernie Nevers. Tubbs' 1920 team was widely considered the best team in the state. Their only competition for the mythical state title came from East Green Bay High, coached by a young Curly Lambeau, who was also in his first year as the Packers' player coach that year.
