Three Michigan coaches make elite list of Big Ten legends with over 100 wins

Winning consistently in college football is no easy task. When a team struggles and fails to meet the expectations of its fan base and athletic department, the fingers are generally pointed at the head coach, and they suffer the consequences. That may explain why, in the storied history of the Big Ten there are only 17 head coaches who have won 100+ games with a Big Ten program. The list is littered with notable legends like Woody Hayes, Barry Alvarez and the great Amos Alonzo Stagg.

Only two universities placed three coaches on the list. It makes perfect sense that they are bitter rivals who participate in arguably the greatest rivalry in all of sports. The Ohio State Buckeyes have three coaches on the list, Woody Hayes (205), John Cooper (111), and Jim Tressel (106). For all of his success at Ohio State, Urban Meyer finished with 83 total wins.
