IU Family Mourns Loss of Legendary Football Coach Bill Mallory

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Bill Mallory, Indiana's all-time winningest football coach, died on Friday surrounded by family in Bloomington. He was 82.

Mallory served 13 years at the helm of the Hoosiers and compiled a record of 69-77-3. After an 0-11 initial season, he ran off a 69-66-3 mark that featured seven winning seasons and six bowl appearances, both program records for an IU head coach, and included victories in the 1988 Liberty Bowl and the 1991 Copper Bowl.

"The entire Indiana University family is deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Mallory," IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass said.
