Win Saturday puts Tressel at 100-21 record

[beaverdaleguy]

Tressel One Win From Big Ten Century Club: Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel earned his 99th victory since becoming the Buckeyes head coach on Saturday at Illinois, leaving him one win shy of joining exclusive company. Tressel is now 99-21 in his 10th season in Columbus and has won 82.5 percent of his games. Tressel's winning percentage ranks second among 10-year coaches in conference annals behind only Michigan's Fielding Yost, who won 83.3 percent of his games from 1901 through 1926. With one more victory, Tressel would become the 13th coach in Big Ten history to accumulate 100 or more triumphs while coaching a Big Ten school. With a win over Indiana on Saturday, Tressel would become the first coach in Big Ten history to reach 100 victories in his 10th season and just the third mentor to accomplish that feat in 121 or fewer games. Michigan's Bo Schembechler and Lloyd Carr both reached the century mark in their 11th season on the sideline. The Wolverine pair of Schembechler and Yost both reached their 100th win in just 119 games, while Minnesota's Henry Williams posted his 100th triumph in 123 contests.

He should be given a special sweater vest for his 100th win.

Perhaps Maurice Clarrett and his parole officer could present that gift.

Ferentz may get there next year. He needs 15 to get to 100. But he will get there, meaning that he will be one of 14 to ever do it...Iowa will have two of the 14. Not too shabby

Well, that is not bad for the Hawks for sure says a lot about the last two coach's the Hawks have had, and for Jim he has done a great job at OSU.

1. Gil Dobie 100-5-3 108
2. George Woodruff 100-9 109
3. Bud Wilkinson 100-8-3 111
4. Fielding Yost 100-10-4 114
5. Knute Rockne 100-12-5 117
6. Urban Meyer 100-18 118
7. Bo Schembechler - N/A 119
8. Bob Neyland 100-12-8 120
9. Frank Leahy/Jim Tressel 100-13-8 121
11. J. Paterno/B. Switzer/H. Williams/B. Stoops 122
15. Henry Williams – N/A 123

Bold is active coaches still...and since Meyer got his 100th win two weeks ago, Jim would be #15 to do it.

I thought we were talking about just Big Ten coaches? I think this is a list of all coaches and the quickest ones to 100 wins.

Bill Lynch at Indiana is at 97 too.

Bill Lynch at Indiana is at 97 too.

But not all of those have been at Indiana, so I don't think it counts for this list. If it did, there would be a lot more than 12 Big Ten coaches will 100 wins.
