From Hall of Honor press release dated June 1, 1985:

Ernie Godfrey was Wittenberg's first full-time football and basketball coach as well as athletic director. In 11 years as football coach at Wittenberg, he compiled a 63-24-6 overall record, including undefeated seasons in 1918,1919, and 1920. Only once did his teams fail to win the old Buckeye Conference title. Godfrey also guided the Wittenberg basketball team to five straight winning seasons including an 11-1 record in 1922. A standout football and basketball player at Ohio State University, Godfrey returned to his alma mater in 1929 as an assistant football coach until his retirement in 1962. He developed 11 All-America interior linemen at Ohio State and one, Bill Edwards, at Wittenberg. The immortal Knute Rockne of Notre Dame once said that Godfrey was "the best line coach in the country."
