Coach Littrell is 11-11

[greenjoe]

ST is 11-11 as a HC.  With 3 scheduled games to go,  has North Texas ever had a 2nd year HC with a winning record ?

Win, win, win.

How many coaches do we have with a winning record at all?

You're right of course.  But my question was winning record after 2 years.  And it turns out there are a few. 

St Clair 8-5

Theron Fouts 10-4

John Reid 11-7-1

Jack Sisco 9-8-3

Odus Mitchell 17-5-1

i guess having a winning record after 2 seasons is easier than I thought.  Next time, I'll do more looking before I post.  Nah.

Win, win, win

NT still has a winning overall record despite the awful run we have had since our return the 1A/FBS.  We where never really a power before the drop to 1AA, but we were never terrible.

If we are able to win a conference championship this year, it would be our 25th in 104 years of playing football, not a bad ratio at all.

I looked up those conference championships once, and some of them were in a "conference" of literally three teams.  In a reverse to how few bowls there used to be, maintaining a 1/4 ratio for conference championships would be night impossible even for the biggest P5 teams not coached by Satan contractee Nick Saban.

If you reduce the scope of the question to the Helwig/Villareal 21 year reign of terror, the results change a bit.

Conferences were pretty fluid before 1960. Oklahoma won the Southwest Conference one year. Tulane won the SEC three times and Georgia Tech won the SEC five times.

hey, if the yankees can claim 27 world series titles going back to the 20s, when there were only 16 teams... we can claim ours.
