List of Purdue Boilermakers head football coaches

The Purdue Boilermakers football program is a college football team that represents Purdue University in the Big Ten Conference in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The team has had 34 head coaches since it started playing organized football in 1887 and has been known by the nickname Boilermakers since 1891. Purdue is an original member of the Big Ten, joining in 1896 after spending six years in the Indiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The Boilermakers have played in 1,117 games during their 122 seasons. Four coaches have led the Boilermakers to postseason bowl games: Jack Mollenkopf, Jim Young, Leon Burtnett, and Joe Tiller. Nine coaches have won conference championships with the Boilermakers: Snake Ames and D. M. Balliet in the Indiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and A. G. Scanlon, James Phelan, Noble Kizer, Elmer Burnham, Stu Holcomb, Mollenkopf and Tiller in the Big Ten. No Purdue coach has led the Boilermakers to a national championship. As of the end of the 2009 season, Tiller is the all-time leader in games coached (149) and wins (87), while Mollenkopf is the all-time leader years coached (14). Ames leads the Boilermakers in winning percentage with a perfect 1.000 in his two seasons at Purdue. Among coaches with more than two seasons of tenure, Kizer has the highest winning percentage, .750, and Fred Akers has the lowest winning percentage, with a record of 12-31-1 (.284) in four seasons.

Of the 35 Boilermakers coaches, three have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame: Phelan, Mollenkopf and Young. None have received National Coach of the Year honors.

Notes

↑ A running total of the number of coaches of the Boilermakers. Thus, any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is counted only once.
↑ Purdue did not join a conference until 1891.
↑ Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since.^[1]
↑ When computing the win-loss percentage, a tie counts as half a win and half a loss.^[2]
