Kentucky football head coach Mark Stoops earned his 61st head coaching win with UK over No. 12 Florida on Saturday, becoming the winningest head coach in program history.
Having tied the record in week one over Miami Ohio, the win in Gainesville saw Stoops surpass hall of famer Paul “Bear” Bryant, who led the Cats from 1946 until 1953.
Bryant, who is often regarded as one of the best college football coaches in the history of the sport, is more well known for his 26 seasons at Alabama that saw the Crimson Tide hoist six national championships, but prior to Alabama and Texas A&M before it, he coached eight seasons in Kentucky.
