The Resume

    (June 2, 1903-February 14, 1971)
    Born in Newton Highlands, Massachusetts
    Birth name is Reginald H. Threlfall
    Head coach of the South Dakota State University football team (1934-37) and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1938-44)
    Head coach of the South Dakota State University men's basketball team (1930-33; 1936-37)

Why he might be annoying:

    He came off as being salty towards the press.
    He was forced to initially drop out of Purdue University due to financial issues.
    He sported a losing record with both the football and basketball teams at South Dakota State University.
    He was overconfident about his team winning the 1938 Grey Cup, going as far as calling the Toronto Argonauts 'boy scouts' prior to the match.
    The strategy backfired, as his team got blown out badly in the end.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was able to return to Purdue in 1923, a year after getting his financial situation straightened out.
    He guided the Blue Bombers to five Grey Cup appearances in a six year span.
    He left the Blue Bombers with a 28-8 career record, along with the best winning percentage amongst the coaches in franchise history.
    He worked as an insurance salesman in the Winnipeg area during his off-seasons with the Bombers.
    He was posthumously inducted into the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Hall of Fame (1986).
