Item Description
Collectible bobblehead of Coach Ara Parseghian
While his injury and the end of his professional career were a source of frustration, Parseghian soon got the chance to try coaching instead Woody Hayes, the head coach back at Miami, contacted him about a job as coach of the freshman team. Parseghian led the freshmen to a 4–0 record in the 1950 season, and was chosen the following year as Hayes's successor when Hayes departed to become head coach at a little school in Columbus, Ohio.
Parseghian's teams at Miami consistently did well in the Mid-Amerian Conference, posting a 7–3 record in 1951 and improving to 8–1 the following year. Miami's Redskings were conference champions in 1954 and in 1955, when they went undefeated. Parseghian's success, which included two wins over larger Big Ten schools, raised his profile nationally as a head coaching prospect. In late 1955, he was hired to coach at Northwestern, one of the Big Ten schools Miami had beaten. Parseghian compiled a 39–6–1 record in five seasons at Miami.
This hard to find collectible is donated by Alpha Sig and legendary coach, Brother Darrel Hedric (Miami 1955).
