What football coach first used helmet decals?
Leo E. Strang was the first football coach to use helmet decals. He did so using a "leaping tiger" decal as Massillon (Ohio) Washington High School Head Coach from 1958-1963, during which he won two national championships and three state title. Photos of the helmet can be seen on the Massillon Proud web site, and on a new 4 story banner depicting Strang and his players that hangs from the west end of Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. Strang got his inspiration for the decal from a TV advertisement. He did not trademark the decal or the idea.
Leo was a art major as Ashland College (now Ashland University) and he brought a sense of "artistry" to his players uniforms, which featured white shoes and interchangeable tops and bottoms so that every game could feature a different look. He introduced "tear away" jerseys that utilized snaps.
Massillon is where Paul Brown first coached. Lee Tressel--father of OSU's Jim--preceeded Strang at Massillon and Earl Bruce--who went on to a great career at OSU--replaced Strang when he went to Kent State as its Head Football Coach.

Who is the greatest basketball coach in Louisville history?
Anyone with half a brain knows the answer to this question is Denny Crum. In fact, as John Wooden's most decorated protege, he is one of the best 10 college coaches of all time. He was easily the best coach during the 1980s, when he led the Cards to 2 NCAA titles and 4 final fours. Besides, the man is dammn sexy with his red blazers and flowing comb-over. He didn't earn the nickname "Cool Hand Luke" by acting like some stiff like Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim, or Roy Williams.

Why is a bobby pin called a bobby pin?
Answer
The "bobby pin" came into wide use as the hairstyle known as the "bob cut" or "bobbed hair" took hold. This trend gained popularity in the 1920s, and the bobby pins kept the bobbed hair in place.
(from wikipedia)
Also from Wikipedia - "A trademark on the term "bobby pin" was held for some decades by Bob Lépine Corporation of Buffalo, New York." So it is the original name the pin was marketed under, probably based on the name of the corporation and/or the person the company is named after.
Similarly, the British term "kirby grip" is derived from the trademark Kirbigrip, used by a Birmingham (UK) manufacturer of such pins, Kirby, Beard & Co. Ltd.[1]
