The Beatles? Hear me out.  Everyone is discrediting just how long and successful our history is. If we go with Billy Joel or Def Leppard, we are ignoring Jim Brown and Ernie Davis. Ignoring Wilmeth Sidat-Singh.  We were innovative, risk takers, and also a bigger badder force to be reckoned with. We had a rejuvenation with the construction of the Dome. We mastered the option offense. The Beatles started as mainstream 3 minute pop superstars and eventually stopped touring in part because their technical studio innovations were too difficult to reproduce in front of 30,000 - 50,000 screaming girls. The band had two lives. The members of the band went separate ways to varying but mostly successful careers elsewhere. Edsall, O'Leary, Pasqualoni, Saban, Tressel... We've had great players on big stages like Monk, Csonka, Morris, Harrison, etc. Problem is the Beatles faced tragedy in John Lennon's killing (Auburn?) and the middling success of Paul McCartney waning with each passing year. George Harrison had some success, and Ringo is still touring...

Or how about this one I just thought of!! Van Halen! There have been what, four iterations of that band? They were probably best in their first line up (Schwartzwalder), changed it up with Sammy Hagar and had some really good success there as well even though the sound was different (Coach Mac and P). Then Gary Cherone (Gerg?) and now they've gone back to the original singer and a new bassist and they're trying to reclaim old glory (Marrone and Shafer).
