Question
Which NCAA coach holds the record for the most wins in a career?

Answer
Matt, Hello!  Bobby Bowden and then Joe Paterno!

An honor indeed and a sparkling addition to Bowden's résumé, which is truly startling. He's the winningest Division 1-A college football coach with 366 victories. His 20 bowl wins are two shy of the all-time bowl record and he led the Seminoles to their 25th-straight bowl game in 2006, the second-longest current bowl streak. Bowden is the only coach in history to lead his team to 14 straight seasons of being ranked inside the Associated Press' top five. Bowden has coached the Seminoles to two national championships, including the 1999 squad that was the first ever to go through a season from start to finish as the AP's No. 1 team. The Seminoles played in three straight national title games from 1999-2001 and five title games in eight years and have won more games since 1990 than any other program in the country.
