John Gagliardi, College Football's All-Time Wins Leader: "Such Great Heights"
•
Josh Green
John Gagliardi won more football games – 489 – than any college coach, ever. Gagliardi set the wins record in 2003, which was his 51st season as the head coach at St. John’s College of Minnesota. Gagliardi was famous for his list of “No’s," which included no hitting in practice, no playbook, no mandatory weight lifting and never allowing players to call him "Coach." He was simply John. And his keep-it-simple approach just might be the best thing that ever happened to football. Former St. John’s quarterback Tom Linnemann joins the podcast to speak at length -- and in highly entertaining fashion -- about the remarkable life of Coach Gagliardi, or John.
