Hmmhhhh .... Just guesses but Michigan, Florida, Florida State, USC, Ohio St, and Alabama? 

I don't think recent winners Clemson or Auburn nor bluebloods Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee have done it but I could be wrong. I'm no doubt showing substantial recency bias and missing the pre 1960 sets.

OK, looked it up so I'm disqualified.  Hint: It's an oldie (1930s) and not a football blueblood.

Clark Shaunnessy, the father of the T formation.  Stanford went from 1-7-1 in 1939 to 10-0 Rose Bowl champions in 1940, Shaunessy's first year.

Supposedly, Buck Shaw (then at Santa Clara) and Dudley DeGroot (SJSU), both alums and successful local coaches (DeGroot was 24-1 in the preceding two years) were the local favorites.  John Bain Sutherland, who had left Pitt due to a lack of institutional support was supposedly the front runner.  Don Faurot, from Missouri was also in the running and may have been offered the job.

Re-upping before I post the answer. Hint, there had only been one post-season walk-off grand slam before Freeman. The second question, about a walk off grand slam that wasn’t is a good one.

And here’s a non-sports related Trivia question: “Which Bond film mentions its own title most frequently in the dialogue?”
