The following is a list of Fielding H. Yost's football players who became head football coaches.

At least 40 of the athletes who played football for Fielding H. Yost at the University of Michigan went on to become head coaches either at the college or professional level. Yost's "Point-a-Minute" teams at Michigan compiled an overall record of 43-0-1 from 1901 to 1905 and outscored their opponents 2,326 to 40. The unprecedented performance of these teams created a demand for Yost's players, known as the "Yost-men", to serve as head coaches at other schools. Twenty-three players who played for Yost during the four years from 1901 to 1904 went on to become head coaches. Between 1903 and 1910, Yost's proteges held head coaching positions for football teams at more than 25 colleges and universities, including Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Nebraska, Purdue, Kansas, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, Nevada, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina State, Utah, and Tulane.

A number of Yost's players went on either to win national championships as coaches (Harry Kipke and Bennie Oosterbaan) or to be inducted into the College Football or Basketball Halls of Fame for their coaching achievements (Dan McGugin, Elton Wieman, and Franklin Cappon).

Another of Yost's players, Doug Roby, became the president of the Amateur Athletic Union (1951-1953), a member of the International Olympic Committee (1952-1984), and president of the United States Olympic Committee (1965-1968).
