How each BYU head football coach did in his first year

Kalani Sitake just became the 14th head coach in BYU football history and has a 9-4 record to show for his first season. How does that record compare to the other 13?

Extremely well.

Granted, most BYU fans might not recognize a lot of the names of former head coaches other than the likes of LaVell Edwards, Gary Crowton and Bronco Mendenhall. So, here's how Sitake's first season at BYU compares to the 13 men who came before.

Even though BYU played some games as early as 1896, 1922 is the first official year that the Cougars played football, according to BYU's athletic website.
