Watching the events from London this morning reminded me that we periodically see teams reign as champions for a handful of years, despite it being difficult to do. For example, back when we lacked a method of crowning champions, Harvard enjoyed a run that compares with almost anyone's, retroactively being named national champs four times in six years.
Thank you, Timothy, for shining a spotlight on the hard-bitten Haughton, who not only won football games but also systematized and essentially modernized the job of football coach. Anybody who really wants to know more (ALERT! SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION!) can check out my book, "The Coach Who Strangled the Bulldog: How Harvard's Percy Haughton Beat Yale and Reinvented Football."
