The late Clarence "Doc" Spears owns the highest winning percentage of any Mountaineer football coach with at least a four-year tenure. During his years at WVU from 1921-24, Dr. Spears compiled a record of 30-6-3, good for a winning percentage of .808.
Born in DeWitt, Ark., Spears had the distinction of coaching three All-Americans in Russ Meredith, Fred Graham and Red Mahan and also had four second team All-America picks. He led WVU to its first bowl game in 1922, San Diego's East-West Game, where the Mountaineers defeated Gonzaga 21-13 to cap a 10-0-1 season for the first undefeated season in school history.
The 1922 team racked up victories against Pitt, Rutgers, Cincinnati, Indiana, Virginia and Ohio, among others. The only blemish during that season was a 12-12 tie versus Washington & Lee. Spears' charges outscored the opposition 267-34 in 1922 and posted seven shutouts.

The late Marshall "Little Sleepy" Glenn distinguished himself as a basketball and football captain, and also later as a coach of both sports at West Virginia.
Posting a 61-46 record over five seasons in basketball, he also took over the duties as head football coach in 1937. In his initial season as football coach, Glen led WVU to a 7-1-1 record and its second bowl appearance in the 1938 Sun Bowl.
Taking on slightly favored Texas Tech, Glenn relied on an impressive defensive performance as the Mountaineers won the game 7-6. .
