Petersen would be Justinian I
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justinian_I
Centuries after Rome fell he championed that they were ROME, DAMNIT and set out to restore the old empire that he believed his mandate. He accomplished this and ushered in a new age of splendor. Roooomans inDawgman Constantinople said you couldn't be expected to compete in that day and age. @Octavian never had to compete with a ranked Ostrogoth Empire.

Chip Kelly would be Kublai Khan

Unprecedented speed-based attack system that horrified and transfixed his contemporaries. Won big games and quickly established an empire exponentially larger than anyone could have dreamed. Came up just short ofwinning a natty being the first successful China-based invasion of Japan as his entire fleet was decimated by storms in what the Japanese still hold as an act of god. His successors weren't up to snuff in preserving and maintaining the empire, and in less than a century his dynasty was categorically destroyed and erased.

Ty Willingham is Francisco Solano López

LOL: By December 1864 Lopez's Paraguay was at war with Brazil, and, when Argentina denied a request for the transit of a Paraguayan army across its territory, López declared war on that country as well despite facing enemies that outnumbered him 28:1. Argentina, Brazil, and the puppet government in Uruguay formed an alliance, and on May 1, 1865, they declared war on Paraguay. The War of the Triple Alliance devastated Paraguay. Its prewar population was reduced by more than half, and over 90 percent of Paraguay’s fighting-age men perished. López, possibly in a fit of madness, ordered the execution of hundreds of people, including some of his own family members. He was killed in combat on March 1, 1870

Marco Cristobal is Caligula. Unnatural preoccupation with teen boys takes formerly dominant empire to new lows. Initially hailed by his subjects upon his ascent to the top, his reign was short lived and remembered most for its sexual perversions.
