When college football fans think of the winningest coach, John Gagliardi may not be a name they expect to hear.

Gagliardi has spent most of his career in Minnesota coaching Division III St. John's University football team. Gagliardi arrived in 1953 and by the end of the 2009 season, he compiled 471 wins. Over the years, he has coached football at St. John's University for 64 seasons and has won many titles. Still today, he and his team continue to dominate on the field.
