  • All-Time W-L Record: 1,259-1,052 (.545) from 1916 through 2011.
  • NOTES: Andeerson, who took a leave of absence for health reasons, compiled a 10-4 record in 1950-51 when he shared coaching duties with Muellich
  • Larranaga's record does not reflect a forfeit victory awarded from Miami (oh) in 1988-89.
