When Darrel Royal took over as Texas’ head coach in 1957, the Longhorns were accustomed to winning. They had won nearly 68% of the games they had played up to that point. Royal took the Longhorns to another level, winning 77% of his games and three national championships. His successor, Fred Akers, won 73% of his games. From 1957-1986 the Longhorns won basically 3 out of every 4 games they played.
