Charles "Gus" Dorais (1891-1954) was the quarterback of Notre Dame's "Dorais to Rockne" tandem that revolutionized football's forward pass. A triple threat prep star from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, Dorais was a captain and undefeated four-year starter at Notre Dame, and the school's first consensus All-American in 1913.
Over the next four decades, Dorais was a professional player in the pre-NFL days and a college football coach--notably at the University of Detroit--and then head coach of the Detroit Lions. During his career, he tallied more than 150 wins. A pioneer of offensive strategies, Dorais played with and coached against most of the prominent football legends of his time.
Joe Niese is an award-winning author and a library director in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Bob Dorais is Gus Dorais' grandson and has researched and collected information about Gus for years. He lives in Malvern, Pennsylvania. More information can be found at: http://www.gusdorais.com.
