A little perspective on what Coach White has accomplished in less than two years.

White is on track to be at the top of the list of some pretty good coaches. With a win tonight he will be winning 2 of every 3 games coached.

Lots of interesting information in this list. The worst basketball coach in the history of the school has the football stadium named after him:icon_wink:... of course he only coached one year at the end of WWII.

Richard's overall tenure was not that bad, he just went downhill. He started off with 4 straight winning seasons and then only had one in the last four years here.

Jerry Loyd's record is very deceptive. He survived three years on Tommy Joe's recruits, going 80-48 (.625); he then went 9-46 (.167) with his own guys which is the worst two year record in the history of TECH.

Loyd's tenure also makes Wooldridge's record deceptive. He started with absolutely nothing thanks to Loyd and still was relatively close to .500.

Rupp's record is the worst of the modern era and I am still surprised that they pulled the plug early. Without the one good year, Rupp would have been approaching Herb Duggins territory and would have only had a football coach protecting him from being the worst ever.
