Biography

Arkansas Frank Broyles was one of college footballs most dynamic coaches. His Razorbacks won or shared five Southwest Conference titles during the 1960s and earned three bids to the Cotton Bowl. One of Broyles' greatest victories was a stirring 10-7 defeat of Nebraska in the 1965 Classic, a victory that earned the Hogs a share of their first national championship and extended Arkansas winning streak to 12 games. The figure swelled to 22 by the end of the next season, and to no one's surprise, Broyles had his Hogs back in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. An innovative leader as a player, coach, athletic director and Emmy-award winning television analyst, Frank Broyles personifies the essence of college athletics.
