Now, class, a pop quiz: Define college spirit. WHO'S GREAT AND WHO'S NOT To name the 10 greatest college coaches of all time is an exercise fraught with differing opinions. The NCAA's whizbang director of statistics, Jim Van Valkenburg, has taken a stab at it, and he deserves a hearing, because he established a criterion for coaching greatness: at least eight victories for every 10 games coached over a career that spans at least 10 years. Fair enough. 1. Knute Rockne, 105-12-5 (.881) at Notre Dame, 1918-1930. 2. Frank Leahy, 107-13-9 (.864) at Boston College and Notre Dame, 1939-1953. 3. Doyt Perry, 77-11-5 (.855) at Bowling Green, 1955-1964. 4. George Woodruff, 142-25-2 (.846), at Penn, Illinois and Carlisle, 1892-1905. 5. Jake Gaither, 203-36-4 (.844) at Florida A & M, 1945-1969. 6. Dave Maurer, 129-23-3 (.842) at Wittenberg, 1969-1983. 7. Paul Hoerneman, 102-18-4 (.839) at Heidelberg, 1946-1959.
