The two tables below display the current head coaches for the top programs in the West, organized by winning percentage, and the all-time coaches, listed by total wins.
Both lists show cumulative wins and losses during the coaching tenure at one or more of the programs in our coverage footprint.
Each coach’s listing includes his overall wins, losses, ties (for past years when they occurred), and winning percentage.
*The win-loss records reflect on-the-field wins and do not account for games vacated due to NCAA violations.
