... that the undefeated 1963 and 1965 Saint John's Johnnies won NAIA Football National Championships under the leadership of a coach who won more games than any other in college football history? Source: 65th Annual NAIA Football National Championship Media Guide here, at page 53, confirms Saint John's NAIA Football National Championships in 1963 and 1965. See also The New York Times here: "John Gagliardi, who won more games than any other college football coach ... finished with 489 victories ...Gagliardi passed Eddie Robinson of Grambling for the most all-time coaching victories with No. 409 in 2003..." FYI -- An updated list of winningest coaches is at List of college football coaches with 200 wins -- Gagliardi remains 80 wins ahead of anybody else.

New articles that were created on 6/7 November 2020 are 3,326 and 3,250 characters, respectively, and nominated 5/6 days later. No copyvios detected in either article [1][2] and duplication detector of online sources[3][4][5][6][7] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Hook is 191 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Refs by National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and The New York Times used in both articles (verifying the hook) are reliable sources. Both QPQs done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:00, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
