This guy was coach of the year in 1985, at a school were you can't recruit and you get nothing but under sized players. He did an amazing job, truly a great coach who should be commemorated....

Wow, this is a bit of a surprise. He was a great coach... like domer says, he took over this team and, despite the limits placed upon him by the armed forces, was able to keep them competitive year in and year out. 17 winning seasons in 23 years, wow. How many Commander In Chief trophies did he win? I imagine the number is rather high...

He won 14 of the Academy's 16 Commander-In-Chief trophies. He has been inducted into the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame, and the South Carolina Hall of Fame. He's the most winningest coach in Air Force history, with a final record of 169-107-1. He's beat Notre Dame three times while coaching at Air Force.
