I'm deleting "Ironically" from the first section because that's improper usage of that word. --152.3.219.135 01:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm moving this here

so that we can talk about it, and perhaps put it back and perhaps not. Carptrash 20:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Before he died he shared all his football coaching secrets to his great grandchild Zack Stackhouse of Houston Minnesota who has led the Hurricanes to six straight High School championships.

Comment: Sounds fairly implausible and like a vanity statement, especially as written. I'm sure a seminal coach would impact dozens of high school coaches indirectly, but without citation this has no place in the article. (On a totally different topic, one coach he clearly did influence was Dan McGugin, his brother-in-law, whose article I'm trying to improve as a proud Vanderbilt alum.)

Shouldn't his coaching record list 'Stanford' instead of 'San José State'? 68.33.193.213 20:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Yost was the coach at Stanford for 1900. Also, I know for a fact that his record is not the 190-34-11 listed in the article. Why weren't real sources used for this article? Fthis 20:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Corrected the factual errors listed in the article. Fthis 19:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
