Bobby Dodd

• Rating 85: his whole career, recent seasons weighted most, measured as how far his teams stood above their era, crediting him with half of what each program already was when he arrived (about the share that, historically, follows a coach to his next job), fading as the program becomes his own.
• Peak 85: best five-season stretch, 1952–1956 at Georgia Tech (48-7, 3 top-10 seasons by team strength, 1 national title), taking over a good program.
• Career 87 (#24 since 1936): total accomplishment over 21 seasons (161-58), 1 national title, 2 elite seasons; full credit for the program he inherited.
• All of it at one program (Georgia Tech) — unproven elsewhere; historically about half of a coach's lift carries to a new job.

Rating = who he is: his whole head-coaching career (since 1936), weighted toward recent years — how far his teams stood above their contemporaries, how much he lifted programs, his great seasons and titles. Form = the last two seasons. Career = the all-time ranking number.
