List of Alderson Broaddus Battlers head football coaches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alderson Broaddus Battlers football program is a college football team that represents Alderson Broaddus University (commonly shortened to AB; previously just "Broaddus College" and then "Alderson–Broaddus College") as an NCAA Division II independent. AB's current all-sports conference, the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, does not sponsor football.

The team has had eleven head coaches since its first recorded football game in 1905.[1] The program ceased play in 1930,[2] but recently announced that it will begin play once again starting with the 2012 season[3] under new head coach Dennis Creehan.[4]

Notes[]

  1. ^ Although the first Rose Bowl Game was played in 1902, it has been continuously played since the 1916 game, and is recognized as the oldest bowl game by the NCAA. "—" indicates any season prior to 1916 when postseason games were not played.[5]
  2. ^ A running total of the number of head coaches, with coaches who served separate tenures being counted only once. Interim head coaches are represented with "Int" and are not counted in the running total. "—" indicates the team played but either without a coach or no coach is on record. "X" indicates an interim year without play.
  3. ^ Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since.[6]
  4. ^ When computing the win–loss percentage, a tie counts as half a win and half a loss.[7]
  5. ^ Statistics correct as of the end of the 1930 college football season.
