Paul Dietzel (born 1924), former American football player and coach and college athletics administrator
He was the chairman of the board after the 1961 football season, when the popular coach Paul Dietzel resigned on January 5, 1962, to accept the head position at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, a position that Dietzel left after four years.
During the first game of the 1968 season, Dietzel heard the school's band play the Broadway show tune "Step to the Rear" and decided that it should be the school's new fight song, and proceeded to write a new set of lyrics to the tune.
