Nebraska has a history of gum-chewing big timers. I remember this coach in particular. This from an article from Wrigleys.com:

It was a natural match: Big Red gum and Nebraska Cornhuskers football, whose fans had long been shouting "Go Big Red" from the stands.

The legendary coach Tom Osborne thought so too. Team trainer Doak Ostergard started giving "Dr. Tom" a pack of Big Red gum before each game in the early 1990s. At Osborne's last game with the Huskers, the 1998 Orange Bowl, the Associated Press observed that he "stood on the sideline calmly chewing his favorite Big Red gum, acting as if there would still be a next season." The team handed their beloved coach one final victory that day.

Osborne and Nebraska were a powerful winning combination, capturing national titles in 1994 and 1995 and appearing in bowl games every year for 25 consecutive years. Osborne was the winningest coach in the history of the Associated Press football poll and the sixth winningest coach in NCAA Division I-A history. He retired with a lifetime record of 255-49-3. From 1993 to 1997, years in which he chewed Big Red, his record was 60-3. According to Mike Osborne, son of the great coach, this incredible record "must have had something to do with the gum."

I would say Arky State has the best. Malzahn chews that stuff 90 to nothing.

Got to agree with ya on this one, however I think it is a prerequisite at Awbarn, to be able to chew the heck out of gum for a coaching job there.

Can't be Chiz, with him it's more like a cow chewing it's cud.

For NFL coaches, I vote for Sean Payton.

 

[gtowntide]

It's got to be Gus. No one else can keep up that pace.

Do y'all remember watching Mike Ditka chewing gum while patrolling the side lines. He was vicious to a piece of gum.

 

[RJ YellowHammer]

Just checking in with this thread to make sure it's still the off season.

Yep.

Somebody needs to tell Pellini (Nebraska) that he should keep his mouth closed while he chews. Man, he gets kinda gross.

The Coach from Nebraska is the most gum smacking, stupid looking doofus that I've ever seen.

There was a study done several years ago that correlated people's intelligence with whether they chewed gum with their mouth closed (the most intelligent, and the "most successful" people) vs. those who did it open and loudly (least intelligent and least successful, and most often viewed as having the worst manners)....

Wish I could find the link, it was pretty funny...

I'm pretty sure that former FSU DC Mickey Andrews could annihilate an entire pack of Big League Chew in under a minute. That guy chewed with a vengeance.
