John L. Griffith was head coach at Morningside for three seasons in the early years of the program.

The Morningside Mustangs program is a college football team that represents Morningside College in the Great Plains Athletic Conference, a part of the NAIA. The team has had 23 head coaches since its first recorded football game in 1898. The current coach is Steve Ryan who first took the position for the 2002 season.[1] The program did not field a varsity team in 2001 as the school transitioned from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).[2]

Notes

  1. ^ Although the first Rose Bowl Game was played in 1902, it has been continuously played since the 1916 game, and is recognized as the oldest bowl game by the NCAA. "—" indicates any season prior to 1916 when postseason games were not played.[3]
  2. ^ A running total of the number of head coaches, with coaches who served separate tenures being counted only once. Interim head coaches are represented with "Int" and are not counted in the running total. "—" indicates the team played but either without a coach or no coach is on record. "X" indicates an interim year without play.
  3. ^ Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since.[4]
  4. ^ When computing the win–loss percentage, a tie counts as half a win and half a loss.[5]
