Hey guys, I'm doing a project on leadership styles and I want to focus on college football coaches. But I kinda need a starting point, so can anyone tell me who has the most wins as a coach in the history of college football?
The college football coach with the most wins in the history of college football is John Gagliardi. He had a total of 489 wins during his coaching career. Gagliardi coached at Carroll College (MT) from 1949-1952 and then at Saint John's University (MN) from 1953-2012. His coaching style was unique in that he believed in "winning with kindness" and had a list of "no's" which included no tackling in practices and no mandatory weightlifting. He valued individual player's safety above all. This non-traditional coaching style might be a very interesting point to include in your project.
