[edit]

John Gagliardi was born to Italian Americans Ventura and Antonietta Gagliardi inTrinidad, Colorado, in 1926.[2][3] He began coaching football at Trinidad Catholic High School in 1943, at the age of 16, when his high school coach was called into service duringWorld War II.[4] He was a player-coach his senior year of high school and continued to coach high school football atSt. Mary's High School while obtaining his college degree atColorado College in Colorado Springs.[5]

At the age of 22, with six years of high school coaching, Gagliardi was hired atCarroll College in Helena, Montana. In four seasons as head coach atCarroll, Gagliardi compiled a 24–6–1 record, winning three Montana Collegiate Conference championships. After the 1952 season, Gagliardi left Carroll forSaint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota.[1]

Pro Football Hall of Fame playerJohnny "Blood" McNally coached football at St. John's from 1950 to 1952. On leaving the job he said "Nobody can win at St. John's."[6]

In 60 seasons coaching theSaint John's Johnnies, Gagliardi won a school and conference record 27Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) titles and four national championships: in 1963 (at theCamellia Bowl),[7]1965, 1976, and 2003. His record at Saint John's was 465–132–10, bringing his career college football mark to 489–138–11.[8]

On November 8, 2003, Gagliardi broke the record for career coaching wins with his 409th victory, passingGrambling State'sEddie Robinson. The 13,107 fans who witnessed the victory overBethel at Saint John'sClemens Stadium were the largest crowd inNCAA Division III history. The win also gave Saint John's its 23rd MIAC championship and an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III playoffs.[9] The Johnnies went on to win the national championship with a 24–6 victory overMount Union.[10]

In 1993,Jostens and the J Club of St. John's University began awarding theGagliardi Trophy annually to the most outstanding player in NCAA Division III.

Gagliardi was known for his unique coaching approach, which he called "Winning with No's." He instructed his players not to call him "coach", did not use a whistle or blocking sleds, prohibited tackling in practices, did not require his players to lift weights, and limited his team practices to 90 minutes.[11][12]
