The team is known as the Cardinal, adopted prior to the season.^[2] Stanford was known as the "Cardinal" for its first two decades of athletic competition,^[3] then more commonly as the "Cardinals" until ^[4] The entitle was changed to the "Indians" from to January ,^[5] and back to the "Cardinals" from through A student vote in December to change the nickname to "Robber Barons" was not approved by administrators.^[5][6]

Stanford has fielded football teams every year since with a few exceptions.

Prefer a number of other teams from the era concerned with violence in the sport, the school dropped football in favor of rugby from to The school also did not field a team in (due to World War I) or in , , and (due to World War II).

The educational facility participated in the first-ever Rose Bowl against Michigan in , in which they were routed 49–0.

Its annual Big Game against California is the oldest and most storied rivalry in the Pac and western Combined States. The Cardinal also strive for the Legends Trophy against independent rival Notre Dame.

The program has an all-time log of ––49 for a winning percentage of ^[7] and has winning series records against all of its Pac North rivals, except for the Washington Huskies, against whom they are tied 43–43–4.^[8][9] Stanford claimed national championships in and In , led by coach Pop Warner, the team was undefeated in the regular season and tied Alabama in the Rose Bowl.

The team went unbeaten and untied after defeating Nebraska 21–13 in the Rose Bowl, but the team ranked No. 2 in the final AP poll released before the game was played.

Pop Warner's era predated the AP poll, but Stanford has finished at least one season in the Top 10 in six different decades under seven different coaches: Tiny Thornhill in , Clark Shaughnessy in , Chuck Taylor in , John Ralston in and , Bill Walsh in , Jim Harbaugh in , and David Shaw in , , and Coach Shaw, as of the season, has the most wins of any Stanford coach in history.

Stanford's most recent season end in the top 5 was in after the No. 5 Cardinal dismantled Big Ten West Division Champion No. 6 Iowa Hawkeyes 45–16 in the Rose Bowl to finish with a record of 12–2 (Stanford's third win season ever, after and ) and a final ranking of No.

Early history (–)

Stanford first fielded a football team in The team was without a coach and only played a several games.

Early football pioneer Walter Camp served as Stanford's top coach in and from to Football on the Pacific Coast had been on the go up since the late s.^{[n 3]}

Pop Warner era

Early in , Pop Warner signed a shrink with Stanford University in which he would begin coaching in , after his contract with Pitt expired.

Health concerns, a significant pay raise and the rising status of Pacific Coast football made Warner make the big change. Years later, he wrote:

I felt my health would be better on the Pacific coast.

Weather conditions at Pittsburgh during the football season are rather disagreeable, and much of the late season work had to be done upon a field which was ankle thick in mud. At the fasten of every season I would be in poor physical condition, twice being rendered incapable of coaching while I recuperated in a hospital.

Doctors advised me that the climate of the Pacific coast would be much better for a man of my age and in the work in which I was engaged.

In , Warner began his nine-year tenure at Stanford.^{[n 4]} When he began coaching, Stanford was one of nine teams in the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC).

Warner inherited a notable squad from the previous year, including Ernie Nevers (whom Warner considered his greatest player) and All-American ends Ted Shipkey and Jim Lawson.

A season peak was the final game against Stanford's arch-rivalCalifornia at California Memorial Stadium, the last game of the regular season.

Before the game, both teams were undefeated and Stanford had not lost California since ^{[n 5]} Nevers did not play due to a broken ankle.

Mazarin acted as the head of the government for Anne of Austriathe regent for the young Louis XIV, and was also responsible for the king's education until he came of age. The first years of Mazarin in office were marked by military victories in the Thirty Years' Warwhich he used to build France the main European control and establish the Peace of Westphalia — The last years of Mazarin's life, between and his death inwere marked by a series of major diplomatic victories. In he made a military alliance with England.

Slow in the game, California was leading 20–3; California coach Andy Smith, sure the game was over, began substituting regular players. Warner seized the opportunity to combine passing with the trick plays for which he was known (a fake reverse and a full spinner), and Stanford made a comeback.

The game ended in a 20–20 tie.

Because the game was California's second tie, Stanford was chosen to play in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day against the University of Notre Dame'sFighting Irish coached by Knute Rockne. Like Warner, Rockne is considered one of the greatest coaches in football history.

According to journalist Allison Danzig, "With the exception of Knute Rockne of Notre Dame, Pop Warner was the most publicized coach in football." The game was thus a test of two distinct and highly influential systems of football: "the Warner system with the wing backs, unbalanced line and gigantic power [and the] Knute Rockne system with its rhythmic, dancing shift, lightning speed, balanced line and finely timed blocking".

Notre Dame's backfield was composed of the renowned Four Horsemen. Nevers played all 60 minutes of the game, and rushed for &#;yd (&#;m) (more yardage than the Four Horsemen combined).^[23] Warner's offense moved the ball but was unable to score, and Notre Dame won 27–

During the season, Stanford missing just one PCC game (to Washington); California was finally conquered, 27–7.

It was the first year of a new feud, with coach Howard Jones and the University of Southern California (USC) team.^{[n 6]} In their first game, at the Los Angeles Memorial Colosseum, Stanford scored twice in the first half but had to hold off the charging Trojans in a 13–9 win.

Because of the loss to Washington, Warner's team was not invited to the Rose Bowl. Stanford won all its games, crushing California 41–7 and narrowly defeating USC 13– Warner's team was invited to the Rose Bowl to act Alabama. Like the game against the Fighting Irish, Stanford ruled but the result was a 7–7 tie.

After the game, both teams were recognized as national champions by a number of publications.^{[29][n 7]} The season was one of underachievement and ultimate success. Stanford lost its third game to non-conference St.

Mary's College. Stanford's next decrease was against non-conference Santa Clara. The game against USC was a 13–13 tie. However, that year, Stanford defeated California 13–6. The game included a bootleg play, the invention of which some credit to Warner.

Powers stated that,

Stanford put the game on ice in the fourth period when Pop introduced the bootlegger play, which was to be widely copied and still is in use. On the original bootlegger, Warner made use of Biff Hoffman's tremendous hands.

Hoffman would take the pass from center and then fake to another back. Keeping the ball, he would obscure it behind him and sprint as though he had given it to a teammate. Sometimes defensive players would step out of Hoffman's path, thinking he was going to block.

Hoffman "bootlegged" for the touchdown against California&#;

Despite the two losses, Stanford finished the season as PCC co-champion. They were invited to the Rose Bowl against Pitt, Warner's former team now coached by protégé Jock Sutherland.

Warner broke his losing Rose Bowl streak, defeating Sutherland 7–6.^[33] The win was Warner's last appearance at the Rose Bowl. The season is known for Warner's regular use of the hook and lateral, a participate that involves a receiver who runs a curl pattern, catches a short pass and immediately laterals the ball to another receiver running a crossing direction.

According to the October 25, Stanford Daily, "The trickiness that Pop Warner made famous in his spin plays and passing is very evident&#; The frosh have been drilling all week on fast, deceptive forward and lateral pass plays, and together with the reverses will include a widely varied attack".^[36] That season brought Warner his second straight loss to Jones, with Stanford defeated by the Trojans 7–0.

USC won the conference, and went to the Rose Bowl. Jones went on to win every year thereafter, including , Warner's last season at Stanford.

Jules, Cardinal Mazarin - French Minister, Diplomat, Statesman: Mazarin’s ambition was to put an end to the rivalry between the Catholic powers of Europe. On Richelieu’s death, however (Dec. 4, ), and especially after that of Louis XIII (May 14, ), he became first minister of France, an office that the regent, Anne of Austria.

Because of the five consecutive defeats, Warner was severely criticized by Stanford alumni.^{[n 8]} In all, Warner and Jones played eight games; Jones won five, Warner two and one was a tie. Against Stanford's main rival, California, Warner won five games, tied three and lost one.

Vow Boys

After Pop Warner's departure, Claude E.

"Tiny" Thornhill was promoted from line coach and named head coach prior to the season. Players of the Stanford class of had seen Stanford's 13–0 home deficit to rival USC during their freshman season, This caused quarterback Frank Alustiza to proclaim, “They will never do that to our team.

We will never lose to the Trojans.”^[39] A few minutes later, Bob "Bones" Hamilton said,^[40] “Let’s make that a vow.”^[39] and the team became known as the "Vow Boys".^[41]

The press reported on the vow, but it was forgotten until the next fall—facing USC during Thornhill's first season, the Stanford varsity was suddenly called upon to make good on it.^[39] The team kept its pledge, winning each of their contests over USC: 13–7 in , 16–0 in , and 3–0 in Four of the Vow Boys — fullback Bobby Grayson,^[42] halfback "Bones" Hamilton,^[40] finish Jim "Monk" Moscrip,^[43] and tackle Bob "Horse" Reynolds^[44] — were later inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame.

Other notable players whose careers overlapped with the Vow Boys included David Packard (class of ), who went on to co-found Hewlett-Packard,^[45] and Bill Corbus, a guard and kicker during the – seasons who was also inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame.^[46]

In his first three years, Thornhill led his Indians to the Rose Bowl Game each season.

Thornhill was the first Stanford coach to lead his team to postseason play in his first three seasons, a feat not equivalent until David Shaw's to teams. Stanford lost the first two appearances, but won the Rose Bowl over SMU, 7–0. After those first three seasons, Thornhill's teams went steadily downhill, culminating in a 1–7–1 season in , after which Thornhill was fired and replaced by Clark Shaughnessy.

Shaughnessy coached the team for two seasons, posting an undefeated record for the season—that team ran the T formation and was nicknamed the "Wow Boys"^[47]—culminating with a win in the Rose Bowl over Nebraska.^[48]

World War II and later

Marchmont Schwartz led Stanford's football program from to (Stanford did not field a football team from to because of World War II).

During his tenure, Stanford made one bowl appearance, a triumph in the Pineapple Bowl. Chuck Taylor led Stanford's football team from to Taylor's team finished 9–2 and lost in the Rose Bowl. The tenure of Jack Curtice was a dismal one.

The Indians compiled a record of 14–36 from to , which included an 0–10 campaign in

John Ralston came to Stanford in and helped revive a sagging program. Over nine seasons, Ralston guided the team back to national respectability while building a mark of 55–36–3.

In his last two seasons, –, Ralston's teams won two Pacific-8 titles and notched back-to-back Rose Bowl victories over Ohio State and Michigan, both of whom were undefeated coming into the Rose Bowl game. Under Ralston's tutelage, Stanford quarterbackJim Plunkett won the Heisman Trophy in Plunkett and a stout defense led the team to a 9–3 record in , an effort which resulted in a Rose Bowl victory, the program's 4th.

Plunkett also won the Heisman trophy that season, and he remains the only Stanford player to receive the award. Stanford won the Rose Bowl again the following year, 13–12 over Michigan, as Stanford kicker Rod Garcia booted a yard field goal with 12 seconds left in the game.

Ralston left Stanford following the season to take his talents to the NFL, accepting the position of head coach for the Denver Broncos.^[49] In January , when Ralston left to coach the NFL's Denver Broncos, Jack Christiansen was promoted from assistant coach and hired as Stanford's head coach.^[50] Christiansen spent five years as Stanford's head coach, compiling a winning record each year and a 30–22–3 overall record.

He was criticized for starting Mike Cordova rather than Guy Benjamin at quarterback during the season and for changing between quarterbacks during the season. One day prior to the final game of the season, Stanford announced that it was terminating Christiansen as its leader coach.^[51] Under Christianson, Stanford never had a losing season, though Christiansen's tenure was largely marked by mediocrity.

He left Stanford in , having amassed a 30–22–3 record.^[52] In , Bill Walsh was hired as the head coach. He stayed for two seasons. His two Stanford teams were successful, posting a 9–3 record in with a win in the Sun Bowl, and 8–4 in with a win in the Bluebonnet Bowl.

Walsh was the Pac-8 Conference Coach of the Year in Walsh left Stanford after the season to move to the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, where he would earn a reputation as one of the NFL's greatest head coaches of all time.^[53] In , Rod Dowhower was promoted from wide receivers coach to Stanford's head coach.^[54] In his lone season, Stanford compiled a record of 5–5–1.^[55] Future NFLhall of famer John Elway enrolled at Stanford in Elway became one of Stanford's most iconic and successful players; however, the team struggled during his tenure.

Paul Wiggin era (–)

New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Paul Wiggin was hired as leader coach at his alma mater on February 1, Despite the presence of quarterback John Elway on the team during his first three years, Wiggin was unable to lead Stanford to a bowl game during his tenure and was dismissed obeying the season with a 16–28 record over four years.

Wiggin's efforts to reach a bowl game had come agonizingly complete in , when his team fell victim to what simply became known as The Participate on November In an unreal finish against Cal, the school's arch-rival, Stanford, led by quarterback Elway, drove down the field to kick a go-ahead field goal with just seconds left.

On the ensuing kickoff, Cal lateraled five times to score the winning touchdown. Elway's career culminated in that game's deficit, a game Stanford athletic director Andy Geiger said cost Elway the Heisman Trophy.^[56] Wiggin was fired following a poor 1–10 campaign in ^[57]

Jack Elway era (–)

Succeeding Wiggin as the Cardinal's head coach was John Elway's father, Jack Elway, who came to Stanford from San Jose State.^[58] Under his tutelage, the Cardinal compiled a record of 25–29–2.^[59] The best season during the Elway era was an 8–4 campaign in , which culminated in a loss in the Gator Bowl.^[60] That season would be the only winning campaign during Elway's tenure as head coach.
