Golden Moments in Tulsa History

In September, former Tulsa head football coach F.A. DRY (1972-76), was inducted into The University of Tulsa's Athletic Hall of Fame.

Dry took over the head coaching reigns in mid-season of 1972 and finished the year with a 3-2 record. Among his wins that season was a 28-26 road victory over No. 17-ranked Louisville in just his second game as coach. Dry went on to register a 31-18-1 overall record and 20-4-1 Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) mark in 4.5 seasons. His teams won MVC Championships in 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1976. The 1974 team compiled an 8-3 record and finished the season ranked 19^th in the United Press International (UPI) poll. Tulsa closed out that season with a 30-14 victory over No. 14-ranked Houston at Skelly Stadium.

He served as director of athletics and head football coach until resigning both posts following the 1976 campaign.

Dry was an assistant coach at Tulsa from 1961-65 and was largely credited for helping install the offense that kept Tulsa atop the national passing statistics and into consecutive Bluebonnet Bowls.
