List of Central Oklahoma Bronchos head football coaches

The Central Oklahoma Bronchos football program is a college football team that represents the University of Central Oklahoma. The team has had 13 head coaches since organized football began in 1902. The Bronchos have played in more than 1,000 games in its 110 seasons. In those seasons, three coaches have led the Bronchos to postseason bowl games: Al Blevins, Gary Howard and, Chuck Langston. Seven coaches have won conference championships with the Bronchos: Charles W. Wantland, Claude Reeds, Dale E. Hamilton, Gene Smith, Blevins, Phil Ball, and Howard. Blevins, and Howard have also won national championships with the Bronchos. Howard is the all-time leader in games coached, years coached, and wins, while Blevins is the all-time leader in winning percentage. Tracy Holland is, in terms of winning percentage, the least successful coach the Bronchos have had as he has a .341 winning percentage.

Of the 13 Bronchos coaches, Reeds is the only person who has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, albeit from his time as a player for the Oklahoma Sooners. The current coach is Nick Bobeck, who was hired in December 2011.^[1]

Notes

↑ A running total of the number of coaches of the Bronchos. Thus, any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is counted only once.
↑ Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since.^[3]
