Former Tulsa/Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe.  I had forgotten about his Parkinsons diagnosis from the LSU-A&M game with Jimbos asshole nepo baby.

He failed at Louisville, but he set up the Tulsa program for what Todd Graham subsequently "did"

For some reason, Newhart and Bob Hope are paired up in my head.  I liked Newhart a lot more.  Hope would quip one-liners here and there, which basically just met the minimum requirements for a quip or a joke.  
Newhart did the same, but they were always clever and genuinely funny.
Small sample size, both before my time, just my 2 cents.

Newhart is second only to Rodney Dangerfield IMO among comedians whonwere before my time.  Bob Hope worked his absolute ass off, but I dont think hes on the level of those two

It's funny, because I remember Newhart being on TV a lot in the early 80's but it seems like he kinda got forgotten in the last 30 years, except BBT as professor Proton.  Now he's one of the best ever.

Go watch Newhart and Dangerfield on Carson.  He just sits back and lets them cook.  Kind of my take on Jon Stewart and Joe Rogan.  Meh stand ups, who became good interviewers because they knew when to interject, and could do so well, and knew when to let genius work

Newhart was probably the best at doing the one sided phone call bit.
