A made-up word to describe succesful college sports coaches. Even if the word wasn't made up it is difficult to see how this article could ever satisfy the notability requirements. A college coach is a college coach. B1atv 17:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Relevant information can be noted in the respective coach's article.  NA SC AR Fan 24 (radio me!) 17:14, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, there really is no need for this to be an article. Just put a note on Bear Bryant. Winningest *is* actually a word, by the way, as odd as I agree that it sounds, but that's far from a reason to keep this. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 21:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Winningest a word? I've just looked this up on the Internet as it isn't in my dictionaries and I've just discovered that this is one of those cases where Britain and America are two nations divided by a common language!

 * Delete. I mean, seriously. --Legis (talk - contribs) 21:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, for fuck's sake. Can't this be speedied per CSD G1?--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 09:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Why would it be? It's not nonsense, just biased and not useful. Though by this point it could be WP:SNOWed. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 09:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
