I’m biased but I’m gonna go with Johnny Vaught.
Vaught took Ole Miss to 18 bowl games, winning 10 times including five victories in the Sugar Bowl. Only two coaches held a winning record against Vaught: Bear Bryant, with a record of 7–6–1 against Vaught, and Robert Neyland, with a record of 3–2.
Vaught’s overall record at Ole Miss was 190–61–12. His 190 wins are the most in school history. When Vaught arrived, Ole Miss ranked 9th in all-time SEC football standings. When he retired in 1970, Ole Miss had moved up to third, behind only Alabama and Tennessee.
He led the Rebels to additional Southeastern Conference titles in 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, and 1963. And 3 national titles.
IMO he’s in the top 5 all time of SEC coaches. But no one outside of Ole Miss knows him.
