The Amos Alonzo Stagg Coaching Award, presented by the American Football Coaches Association  to Glenn "Pop" Scobey Warner in 1948. This is awarded to the “individual, group or institution whose services have been outstanding in the advancement of the best interests of football." A significant award for one of the most significant figures in American football.
A large and heavy trophy; bronze plaques mounted on wood.
1948 was an unusual year in that three individuals were presented with this award, Gilmour Dobie, Robert Zuppke and Glenn Warner.

Zuppke (Illinois), pictured below, was so proud of his award he displayed it at public showings of his paintings.
