College Football Hall of Fame coach 'Dr. Victory' Darrell Mudra dies at 93

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- College Football Hall of Fame coach Darrell Mudra, who won better than 70% of his games and two national championships in a career spanning the 1950s through the 1980s, has died.

The National Football Foundation announced Mudra died Wednesday. He was 93.

Mudra's nickname was "Dr. Victory" because of his success at every level, coaching all his college games from the press box instead of on the sidelines. He won the College Division national title at North Dakota State in 1965 and the Division II championship at Eastern Illinois in 1978.
