Mallory, the winningest coach in school history, came to Indiana in 1984 and went 0-11 in his first season at the helm. But shortly thereafter, Mallory’s Hoosiers were the best the program had ever seen. From 1986 to 1994, his teams went to six bowl games, racking up 60 of the 69 wins accumulated during his career.
Mallory was named Big Ten Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1987, making him the first man to ever win the award in back-to-back seasons.
