Thursday Trivia: Beginning and Ending With A Win

The correct answer to last week’s trivia question "How many times has BYU had a 3-1 record, or better, in November?" is 25 times if we impose a four game minimum or 35 if you count 3-0. To break it down, BYU was 3-0 ten times, 3-0-1 one time, 3-0-2 one time, 3-1 eleven times, 4-0 eleven times, and 5-0 one time. Here are the years and the records:

2009: 4-0
2008: 3-1
2007: 4-0
2006: 4-0
2001: 3-0
1998: 3-0
1996: 4-0
1995: 4-0
1992: 3-0
1990: 4-0
1989: 4-0
1987: 3-0
1985: 4-0
1984: 4-0
1983: 3-0
1982: 3-0
1981: 3-0
1980: 5-0
1979: 4-0
1978: 3-1

1951: 3-1
1946: 3-0-1
1937: 3-0
1932: 3-0
1930: 3-0-2

If BYU can finish 3-1 or better this year, it will be the fifth consecutive year that BYU has done it. The longest streak is 10 years (1976-1985).

Legendary head coach LaVell Edwards started his career with a win (Kansas State, 32-9, in 1972) and ended his career with a win, (Utah 34-27, in 2000). Only one other BYU coach has started his career and ended his career with a win. This week's question is:

Who is the only coach in BYU history, besides LaVell Edwards, to begin and end his career with a win?

Leave your answer in the comments section. Come back next week when the answer is revealed and a new trivia question is asked.
