Tex Noel is a long-time college football fan. He has written several books (more info about that below) about college football. He founded the College Football Stat-historian organization,
1st-N-Goal, and is Executive Director of the
Intercollegiate Football Researchers Association (I.F.R.A.).
Importantly, Tex is not biased towards the SEC. He was a fan of the SWC before it dissolved. Now, he is just a huge fan of good college football -- wherever he finds it. Of course, (we know) that is often in the SEC!
The goal of Tex's work for
SEC Sports Fan is to provide us with the most interesting SEC football statistics on the world wide web.
Here is some interesting information about coaches who led two SEC football teams. There are more than you think.
At the bottom of this page, you'll find links to other articles Tex has written for us.
Coaches Who Led Two SEC Football Teams
Houston Nutt has joined a select group of SEC football coaches -- ones that have led two conference schools and won at least 60 career games and a winning percentage over 600.
Topping the list is the legendary figure in all of college football, not just the SEC, the Bear...Paul "Bear" Bryant.
Bryant began his coaching career at Kentucky, where he led the Wildcats to 60 wins in his eight years patrolling the BlueGrass sideline.
Five years after he left UK, Bryant return to his alma mater, Alabama and it was there he made his lasting impression, coaching the Tide to 232 wins.
Bryant, however, wasn't the initial SEC coach to change conference addresses.
That "honor" goes to Mike Donahue who was on the Plains from 1904-06 and
1908-22. From there he continued as he led LSU through the 1927 season.
Donahue's teams were known for their defensive prowess. Of the 139 games in which he led Auburn, 99 times his team emerged the victor -- 77 were won by blanking the opposition.
Nick Saban returned to the conference this past season, winning 7 of 13 games as head man at Alabama, but has just 37 SEC wins.
The coaches, listed by composite wins shows:
- (292) Paul "Bear" Bryant
- Kentucky (1946-53), 60-23-5
