Perhaps no individual is as responsible for advancing the cause of Baylor football as legendary head coach Grant Teaff.

Teaff was hired to coach Baylor's program in 1972 when many people said the Bears should drop out of Division I. When the final gun sounded on the 1992 John Hancock Bowl - Teaff's last game as a head coach - he had accomplished one of the most distinguished coaching careers in history.

Teaff finished his career 170-151-8 overall in 30 years as a head coach. He was 128-105-6 at Baylor, 83-74-4 in the Southwest Conference and 4-4 in bowl games.

He was named SWC Coach of the Year six times and national coach of the year once. He coached 16 first-team all-Americans and 83 all-conference performers.

Teaff finished his career as the nation's second-ranked coach for tenure at his present school, the fourth-ranked coach for SWC wins, third-ranked coach for games in the SWC, second-ranked coach for seasons in the SWC, sixth-ranked coach for wins by an SWC coach, ninth-ranked active coach for career wins and 20th-ranked active coach for winning percentage.

He coached 12 postseason all-star games, including the East-West Shrine Game, the Blue-Gray Game, the Hula Bowl, the All-American Bowl and the Japan Bowl. The other SWC schools went through 38 different head coaches during Teaff's tenure at Baylor. He coached against such giants as Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno, Darrell Royal, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, Vince Dooley, Shug Jordan, Tom Osborne, Frank Broyles, LaVell Edwards, Bill McCartney, Lou Holtz, Barry Switzer, Bill Yeoman, Jimmy Johnson, Johnny Major and Hayden Fry.

Teaff currently heads the American Football Coaches Association as the organization's executive director. The AFCA is widely recognized as the game's driving force in terms of promotions, legislative matters, ethics and professional standards. And the organization's driving force is Coach Teaff.

Teaff moved into his position as the "coaches' coach" after his highly successful 22-year stint as the head coach of the Bears. What Teaff has done with the AFCA has mirrored his accomplishments at Baylor.
