Any discussion of all-time UC football coaches would have to include Sid Gillman. Highlights from his tenure include (from Bearcat Football Timeline (http://gobearcats.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/bearcat.html)):

1949-Sid Gillman took over as head coach and promptly piloted UC to a Mid-American Conference title and a win over Toledo in the Glass Bowl. Tom O'Malley's 1,617 passing yards led the nation.

1950-The Bearcats advanced to the Sun Bowl, but were edged by West Texas State, 14-13.

1951-UC posted an all-time best record of 10-1. Gene Rossi and Bob Stratton became the Bearcats' first All-Americans.

1953-Cincinnati led the nation in both total offense (409.5 yards per game) and total defense (184.3), a feat accomplished by only three other teams in college football history.

1954-Sid Gillman left for the Los Angeles Rams after directing UC to an 8-2 ledger. In six seasons under the eventual college and pro Hall of Fame coach, the Bearcats posted a 50-13-1 record and won three Mid-American Conference titles.

i understand what you mean,
conference titles
if we talk about alltime, its minter versus gillman,
gillman and minter both won, minter lost more

Is this a joke? Gillman is one of the great all time coaches, a hall of famer, who, if he'd only chosen to much stay longer at UC, would've changed the entire history of UC football. I was always told he left because UC wasn't willing to make the changes necessary to elevate their stature back then. No other coach we've had even begins to compare with him, certainly not a coach who got fired with a losing career record here.

i agree with you,
end

i guess the main question minus sid is
--------------------------------------
will brain kelly be the first uc football coach too win second bowl game.

There were MANY FEWER bowl games when Gillman coached. You can't compare his one victory with Minter's. Gillman is head and shoulder's above the competition.

The one thing about Danotnio's one bowl win is that it offsets the loss by 70 points to Louisville. But he also had the Rutger's win. BK is my first choice of Minter, Dantanio and Minter.

brain kelly can break history with a bowl win.
