All good things must come to an end. And, after 43 years, the end has come for legendary Women’s Volleyball coach Russ Rose. Of course, after such a successful and extended tenure with the Lions, he’ll go down as the winningest coach in the sport, tallying 1,330 wins to go along with his seven national titles, four of which were consecutive.

In those four consecutive titles, Penn State had what may be the most dominant championship team in recent memory, but also the most surprising champion in recent memory.
