Peach Bowl

Head Coach - LSU: 1962-1979

McClendon coached his LSU squad to the very first Peach Bowl in 1968. His Tigers bested the favored Seminoles of Florida State, 31-27 to kick off one of college football's longest running bowl games. He earned SEC Coach of the Year honors in 1969 and again in 1970, when he coached his team to a conference title. McClendon was inducted into the Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame in 1986.
