Bob Waters
The Georgia-born Presbyterian College quarterback led the Blue Hose to the 1960 Tangerine Bowl where he earned MVP honors. He then defied small-college odds to become an NFL quarterback and defensive back with the San Francisco 49ers from 1960-63 before turning to coaching.
After serving as an assistant at his alma mater and then Stanford University, Waters became head coach at Western Carolina (1969-88), earning the NAIA Coach of the Year honor in 1996. His 1983 Catamounts lost in the NCAA Division I-AA title game that was held in Charleston. He compiled a 111-78-6 record in 18 seasons at WCU before succumbing to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

He was named to the all-time Cowboys team.
