Darrell Royal is recognized as one of the greatest college football coaches in history. The head coach of the University of Texas from 1957-76, he directed the Longhorns to 167 wins, including three national championships and 11 Southwest Conference titles. Royal, who was a star player at Oklahoma and played in the 1949 and 1950 Sugar Bowls (throwing for a touchdown in one game and running for one in the another), wasted little time turning around a Longhorns program which had just one victory in 1956. In his first year at the helm of the program, he directed Texas to the Sugar Bowl.
