1951 Tennessee

General Robert Neyland twice left the Volunteers to serve in the military, but compiled an amazing 173-31-12 record during his three stints leading Tennessee.

The 1939 team shut out 10 consecutive opponents and the 1950 team finished 11-1 to earn national title consideration. He followed that up with a 10-0 regular season and consensus national title, though Tennessee lost to Maryland 28-13 in the Sugar Bowl. Courtesy of the University of Tennessee.

By the way, he's the one in the coat.
