Hall of Fame
The success of today's football program is tied directly to the contributions of Fred Goldsmith's run as the program's head coach from 2007-10. Goldsmith inherited a program that won 31 games over a 10-year span and turned them into SAC championship contenders. Goldsmith increased the win total of the team in each of his four years, culminating in a 7-4 record in 2010. That seven-win season was the most since 1994, a span of 16 seasons. Goldsmith added future head coach Mike Houston to his staff as defensive coach and turned the reigns of the program over to Houston when Goldsmith retired. Houston would go on to win 29 of 37 games as head coach, win three SAC championships and take the 2013 Bears to a National Championship game.
