In football, gotta narrow it down to 5: Harmon, Woodson, and Howard all won Heisman Trophies. Fielding Yost and Schembechler were the two greatest coaches. Yost coached the team in the early years when Michigan outscored opponents 2,821 to 42 from 1901-05.

Fielding Yost's first Michigan team destroying its' 1901 schedule:

Michigan 50 Albion 0
Michigan 57 Case 0
Michigan 33 Indiana 0
Michigan 29 Northwestern 0
Michigan 128 Buffalo 0
Michigan 22 Carlisle 0
Michigan 21 Ohio St. 0
Michigan 22 Chicago 0
Michigan 89 Beloit 0
Michigan 50 Iowa 0 (Just for you Fishead, Doc, and Iowa fans )
Michigan 49 Stanford 0 (Rose Bowl)

Remember Webber almost travelled as he brought the ball up the court, that possession and doom written all over it, why was Webber bringing the ball up court anyway?

Remember him well. His high school team (Detroit Southwestern) came and played at my high school in a tournament game. Drew quite a crowd.

Not the greatest but certainly very noteable. For some reason he always comes first to my mind is Rumeal Robinson. For sinking those two free throws. One of the best Championship games ever.

i'll throw in a vote for charles woodson, as the best among many greats
