I check pages listed in
Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for
orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of
Idaho Vandals football's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.

Much of the existing History section content can be ported with attribution, leaving a significantly cleaner and reader-friendly version intact. That is more preferable than the alternative of simply pruning the existing content back to a reasonable size without it being preserved anywhere. Thoughts?

UW Dawgs:I agree that a split is in order; I have done it. Well, partially. The new article,
History of Idaho Vandals football, still needs a lot of cleanup, and I haven't figured out a good summary for that article *or* for the section I've left behind. And both still suffer from being overlinked. Honestly, most of that section-now-article is junk, but I'm not going to just delete it all. I'll keep working when I've had some sleep.

Tikwriter: Well done including the "main" link atop the History section. Note, there are only a handful of FBS team articles with a small/stubbed History section. Please consider restoring a condensed version of the prior article/section content to provide some context, as seen in most FBS/Power 5 type team articles.

UW Dawgs: A better summary would certainly be a good idea, but writing one is beyond me. My eyes glaze over when I try to think about trying to compress all that detail into one or two paragraphs that actually tell a story. Unless you want to take a crack at it, it'll have to wait for someone else to contribute.

Idaho Vandals football
Eric Yarber, WR coach of the LA Rams, should be added to the list of former Idaho Vandals who are coaching in the NFL.
