I’m not aware of any statues of Archie Griffin at OSU. Of course, after he left the NFL, he got hired by the OSU Athletics Dept in some staff position.

The University of Alabama has statues of the head coaches of national championship winning teams outside the stadium.

It’s Wacko, Texas. Just be glad they’re not erecting a statue of David Koresh.
