Ranks 2nd behind Neyland in my opinion.Zora Clevenger should be on the list somewhere. He won a SIAA conference championship and coached our first undefeated season in 1914, going 9-0 and beating Clemson, Alabama, Vanderbilt, and the mighty Sewanee.
He coached from 1911-1916 with a record of 26-15-2 (.628). One might say he got this whole thing started.
Also TIL, he was the athletic director as well as coaching baseball and basketball. His 1915-1916 basketball team went undefeated.
Edit: Found a cool picture.
