to coach after Mizzou fired him? The best job he could find was selling draperies for two of slimiest businessmen in STL, and ended up on the showroom floor of a south county automobile dealership. He was 46-33-3, and the only reason he had a winning record was because of the players that Al Onofrio recruited.

Powers used James Wilder as a set back in a pro scheme when anyone with eyes in his head recognized the Sikeston Train as a natural tailback. When a real coach, John McKay, who coached at Tailback U, wanted a tailback for the Tampa Bay Bucaneers, he drafted Wilder.

Ask Mike Shannon about Powers recruiting prowess. Rumors had it that Mike got into a fistfight with Powers during a recruiting visit to Shannon's son, who ended up at USC.

Don Faurot, on the other hand, was offered the head coaching job at tOSU in 1949, that went to Woody Hayes after Faurot turned it down out of loyalty to his alma mater. How could you rank Powers ahead of Faurot?
