ennessee - Bobby Dodd, Phil Fulmer, and Johnny Majors are pretty close. You pick. Honorable mention for his name only---Jim Bob Cooter


Add:

Ray Graves - Played at UT in the early 40s. Was 70-31-4 at Florida in the 60's...(before football was even invented per UF fans). Interesting note...Graves replaced Bob Woodruff at Florida...who was also a UT alum.

Bobby Collins, SMU, The guy who coached the famous Pony Express.

For whatever it's worth, old schoolers in Dallas insist Collins didn't know about the cheating until after he took the job and a lot of people believe he was the fall guy for the people like Blount and Meyer. But he was a helluva coach.

State-Bobby Collins (unfortunately got caught up in the SMU mess).


Bill Dooley - very Good HC

Spook Murphy is another possibility.

maybe Barry Switzer based on winning percentage, but hard to prove you wrong with JJ...just looking at those names makes me sad that neither one of these guys ever became HC @ UofA

IMO, you should have added Erk Russell to that list.


Too bad he never got a shot at a bigger program.

No doubt he would've got a shot these days with all the turnover that goes on in P5.

He's the only football coach I can think of that actually graduated from MSU that had any kind of non-HS/JUCO success.

Hudspeth at UNA and USL?

Allyn McKeen was the best Coach in State’s history but he went to school at Tennessee.

Somewhat easy to forget Jim Mackenzie

But he played for the Bear at UK and was COY at Oklahoma in his one season and unfortunately died of a heart attack the following spring at age 37.

He was also part of the staff Broyles put together at Arkansas that included Barry Switzer and Johnny Majors.
