Updated All-Time Pac-12 Football Coaches & Records

Posted on January 23, 2023


  By SuperWest Sports Staff

Since its inception as the Pacific Coast Conference in 1915, The Pac-12 Conference has fielded a total of 191 head football coaches.

Here’s a list of all of them, with a breakdown of their total games as a Pac-12 coach, including overall wins, losses, ties (for past years when they occurred), win percentage, and years active in the Conference.

Coaches of more than one program are also broken out in a table at the bottom, showing their records and tenures for each school.

The years “from” and “to” reflect the first and last years coached, but are not always consecutive, as some coaches coached in other conferences or in the NFL in between stints in the Pac-12.

You can sort and filter both tables by any of the columns.

*The win-loss records given here reflect on-the-field wins, and do not account for games vacated due to NCAA violations.
