Bob Ladouceur is an American football coach. He began coaching the De La Salle High School in Concord, California in 1979, when he was twenty-five years old. He took over a team that had never enjoyed a winning season since the school's founding in 1965 and turned it into a perennial winner. From 1992 to 2003, he guided the team to 12-consecutive undefeated seasons, setting a national winning streak record for high school football of 151 consecutive wins – a record matched in amateur sports only by the 159 game winning streak of Passaic High School in men's basketball. Ladouceur was enshrined to the National High School Hall of Fame in 2001 and has been named National Coach of the Year several times.

Dan Gable: ex head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling team.

Dan Gable is the most well known wrestler in the history of U.S. wrestling and is often considered the best. When you combine his wrestling/coaching career there simply isn't anybody that comes close in my opinion.

He wrestled for 3 years on the varisty high school team in Waterloo, Iowa finishing his career 64-0.

He wrestled for Iowa State. His only loss in college came in the NCAA finals as a senior, finishing his career 118-1.

After college he compiled a record of 97-5-3 in national an international competition. In 1972 he captured the Olympic gold medal.Not only did he win, he didn't give up a point. In Gable's final 21 Olympic qualification and Olympic matches, he scored 12 falls and outscored his nine other opponents, 130-1.

Gable coached the Iowa Hawkeyes from 1977 to 1997, compiling a record of 355-21-5(.932) He coached 152 all-Americans, 45 national champions, 106 Big Ten Champions and 10 Olympians, including four gold, one silver and three bronze medalists. The Hawkeyes won 21 consecutive Big Ten championships, 15 NCAA titles.. On only five occasions did a Gable-coached team lose more than one dual meet in a year, and went 95-1 at home during his tenure. In 1984 he was the head coach of the Men's Olypmpic Team which won 7 gold medals that year.
