Eddie Cochems is considered the "father of the forward pass". Cochems was a college level coach during is career. He coached for 7 years. Cochems had just started coaching at St. Louis University in 1906. He developed the first "passing based offense".
After the conclusion of the 1905 season, at the behest of then President Teddy Roosevelt, a committee of 60 schools was formed. This rules committee changed the rules of the game, allowing the forward pass, which had been an illegal play up until that point.
