Long-term success as a college football coach is rare, but long-term success as a college football coach at the same school is even rarer. Writer Brett McMurphy recently compiled a list of the coaches with the most consecutive winning seasons at the same school.
Two of the coaches on the list have an active streak. Those coaches are Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy and Alabama’s Nick Saban, who have had 18 and 17 straight winning seasons, respectively.
It should not be a surprise that former Nebraska head coach and College Football Hall of Famer Tom Osborne is also on the list. In fact, Osborne had a winning season in each year of his head coaching career. He averaged 10 wins a year over his 25-year coaching career.
