Johnny Vaught

I have one question how could you leave Johnny Vaught of OLE MISS out. He won more games than Shug Jordan won!!!!!!!!!



Editor's Note Johnny Vaught was great. He won a lot of games and 6 SEC Championships. But, never won a national championship. Hey, it's just a matter of opinion. Everyone can't make the list. You can make a good case for Vaught. Feel free to write up an article on him. I'll be happy to post it.

Thanks for the comment.

After winning the university of Mississippi's first conference title in his initial 1947 season, he led the Rebels to additional Southeastern Conference titles in 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962 and 1963. Three of his teams, in 1959, 1960, and 1962, won shares of the national championship. His 1960 team received the Grantland Rice trophy from the FWAA. He took Ole Miss to 18 bowl games, winning 10 times including five victories in the Sugar Bowl. Only two coaches held a winning record against Vaught, one being Paul "Bear" Bryant, with a record of 4 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie against Vaught, and the other being General Robert Neyland holding a 3 win to two loss advantage. Vaught's overall record at Ole Miss was 190 wins 61 losses and 12 ties.

Hey, like I said, Vaught was great. Maybe he should make the list. But, who would you take off?

As for the National Championship thing. I don't think you should count every bowl selector out there. If you do, pretty much every coach who ever coached more than 5 years would have won a "national championship" according to someone.

I like to go with "consensus NC's," "BCS National Champs" and "AP National Champs."

It gets ridiculous if you count every poll. You end up with 5 or more NC's every year. That degrades the value of being a national champ.

just my opinion.

How incorrect you are! But you are correct on "everyone can't make the list" and there are no two better coaches "ever" in the SEC than
Paul "Bear" Bryant and John Howard Vaught. Just shows how ridiculous your list is. Get Real!

by: Tex/1st-N-Goal

Johnny Vaught led Ole Miss to the FWAA (Football Writers Association of America) title in 1960.

He also coached the Rebels to a Dunkel No. 1 finish in 1959 and in 1962 his team was the top-ranked team by Litkenhous.

Other actual #1 finishes in 1960 show he was champion by DeVold, Dunkel and Williamson.
