Art "Pappy" Lewis will always be remembered as one of West Virginia University's most productive football coaches. His association with football spanned four decades, and Lewis left his mark everywhere he went.
After one year as line coach at Mississippi State, Lewis was appointed head football coach at West Virginia University in 1950, a job he said he had always wanted. After guiding West Virginia to two lackluster seasons in 1950 and 1951, he steered WVU to a 7-2 record in 1952, including victories over nationally ranked Pitt and South Carolina. The Pitt win was the school's first-ever against a nationally ranked team.
?The reason for the turnaround was simple: Lewis assembled the greatest collection of football players in school history. Sam Huff, Bruce Bosley, Fred Wyant, Joe Marconi, Chuck Howley, Tommy Allman, Larry Krutko,Gene "Beef" Lamone and Bobby Moss were just a handful of the great players Lewis brought to Morgantown.
Rich Rodriguez spent seven years as head coach at West Virginia from 2001-07 and transformed the Mountaineers into one of the top programs in college football during that time.
At West Virginia, Rodriguez led WVU to six bowl games, including three BCS bowls, four Big East championships, three Top-10 national finishes and eight or more wins in all but one year.
Rodriguez was the first coach to lead WVU to three straight double-digit win seasons.
His top seasons came in 2005 when the Mountaineers finished 11-1, won the Big East and defeated SEC Champion Georgia in the Sugar Bowl; in 2006 when WVU was 11-2 and defeated Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl and in 2007 when West Virginia won 11 games.
