HISTORY REVIEW
COACHES
In a program that has more than 110 years of tradition, there is no more exciting time to be involved with William and Mary football than the present. Generations of Tribe players have benefited from receiving one of the world’s best educations, while also excelling on the playing field. The successes of the coaches and players who have come before have made it possible for all future generations of William and Mary athletes to enjoy facilities that are now equal to the greatness of the program’s tradition. In the last five years, the school’s commitment to football has been unparalleled, as we have installed a new FieldTurf playing surface, a state-of-the-art scoreboard and, of course, the $11 million football center. These additions will allow Tribe players to maximize their development in a first-class environment using the most modern technology available. There is no doubt that our great history has positioned the program for an even brighter future. As ever, we are looking for student-athletes who want the opportunity to be a part of a championship football program and value the educational experience that will pay dividends for a lifetime. Go Tribe!

The William and Mary football program offers student-athletes a unique experience that is unlike any other in collegiate athletics. Operating out of the state-of-the-art, 30,000-square foot Jimmye Laycock Center, the Tribe’s facilities are among the best in the FCS world. Led by Laycock, one of the most established and respected coaches in the nation, the program has produced 72 All-Americans, three conference titles and eight NCAA Playoff apperances - an impressive tradition of success that has been bolstered recently with three NFL draft picks during the past two seasons and a pair of trips to the NCAA Semifinals in the last six years.

From The Beginning
W&M is one of only 27 FCS schools to play 1,000, or more, games in college football history. Outside of the Ivy League schools, less than 20 have played 1,000, or more.

Remember When?
W&M ranks inside the top 30 for all-time victories (533) and is one of five teams in the current CAA Football Conference with 500, or more.
Flyin’ Jack Cloud led W&M to one of the nation’s biggest upsets in 1948, a 7-7 tie against North Carolina, and wins over N.C. State, Virginia Tech and Arkansas. W&M’s 1967 victory over Navy ranks as one of the biggest upsets in college football history. When the NCAA celebrated the first 100 years of college football, it listed the 10 greatest upsets in history. One of them was William and Mary 27, Navy 16, Oct. 21, 1967.
Championships
In 1942, the College won its first Southern Conference Championship. W&M later added Southern titles in 1947, 1966 and 1970. After joining what is now the Colonial Athletic Association Football Conference in 1993, W&M has won conference championships three times. The Tribe captured league titles in 1996, 2001 and 2004.
W&M earned bowl bids in back-to-back years in 1947 and 1948, with the latter being a 20-0 win over Oklahoma State in the Delta Bowl. W&M faced Arkansas in the 1947 Dixie Bowl and battled Toledo in the 1970 Tangerine Bowl.

All-Americans
Beginning with Hap Halligan in 1930, Buster Ramsey in 1942 and Jack Cloud in 1946, and ranging to Lang Campbell in 2004 and Adrian Tracy and Sean Lissemore in 2009, W&M boasts a long and impressive list of All-Americans. The program has produced 72 all-time All-Americans, including 34 under current head coach Jimmye Laycock.
Laycock Era
THE COLLEGE
In the fall of 1893, Charles L. Hepburn brought together the first official football team at W&M, the College’s first organized athletic team. The 1893 team played three games, starting with the first contest in school history against a YMCA team from Norfolk.
Bowl Games
In 1964, NFL Hall-of-Famer Marv Levy took over and later directed W&M to one of the program’s most impressive victories, the 27-16 win against Navy in 1967. Lou Holtz, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, succeeded Levy as head coach and guided W&M to a berth in the Tangerine Bowl in 1970. Bobby Ross, who later became a head coach in the NFL, was an assistant on Holtz’s 1970 Southern Conference Championship team.

The 1942 squad posted a 9-1-1 record and concluded the season with a 14-7 victory at Oklahoma en route to W&M’s second Southern Conference title.
Laycock returned to his alma mater as head coach in 1980 and has guided the program through an unprecedented run of success that stretches to present day. W&M has posted 20 winning seasons, made eight playoff appearances and 10 postseason appearances in total, while rewriting nearly the entire football record book. In 2009, the program advanced to its second NCAA semifinal game, equaled a school record with 11 wins and ranked as high as No. 3 in the final national polls.

Sound academic advice can make the crucial difference between a coherent and exciting education that satisfies personal and professional goals and one that is fragmented and frustrating. Academic advising is recognized at the College as important to the development of its students, a natural extension of teaching and an important professional obligation on the part of its faculty.

After posting a school-record tying 11win season in 2009, including an appearance in the National Semifinals, William and Mary enters fall drills as a consensus top-five team in the preseason polls. Some would view this sort of lofty billing as added pressure, but high expectations are the norm at the College. Under the guidance of head coach Jimmye Laycock, the Tribe has set the gold standard for sustained excellence. He has led his alma mater to 200 wins and eight postseason appearances, all while never compromising the high academic standards of the College. To continue reading, please click here.
Finding a replacement for graduated allconference quarterback R.J. Archer was the main focus on the offensive side of the ball this spring. Junior transfer Michael Paulus and redshirt freshman Brent Caprio were in a relentless competition throughout the practice season. While both showed the potential to be a solid choice under center, neither earned the starting nod coming into the fall. Likely, some of the cause for this is that an additional pair of potential starters, senior Mike Callahan and junior D.J. Mangas, will be introduced into the mix during preseason drills. Each was forced to miss the spring due to injury. Taken as a whole, the quarterback competition first-year position coach David Corely, Jr., will oversee figures to be fierce from day one of camp.

Running Backs
One of the stated challenges coming into the spring drills for long-time Tribe offensive coordinator Zbig Kepa and his staff was to maximize the consistency and production from a talented corps of receivers. A pair of seniors in Chase Hill and Cameron Dohse headline group, as each brings as wealth of experience to the field. While Hill had an up and down ’09 season (only 15 receiving yards on two catches through the first three games), he has the talent to be a playmaker for the Tribe, as witnessed by his six-catch, 148-yard effort in the win over Delaware that included a thenschool record 91-yard catch and run. Standing at 6-2, 200 pounds, he has excellent size and strength to line up in the slot, while he also possesses the speed to play outside. He brings 73 career receptions to the field (907 total receiving yards) and 11 total TDs. To continue reading the wide receivers/ tight ends preview, please click here.

W&M linebackers coach Scott Boone finds himself in the enviable position of overseeing a unit that returns talent, experience and depth this fall. In terms of playing time, five of the top six linebackers from the 2009 squad are back in the fold, including all-conference junior middle linebacker Jake Trantin and both of his senior running mates, outside backers Wes Steinman and Evan Francks. To continue reading the linebackers preview, please click here.
While defensive coordinator Bob Shoop will have the luxury of entering the fall with two proven performers as his starting corners, graduation was unkind to the middle of his backfield, as a pair of veteran starters in free safety Robert Livingston and all-conference strong safety David Caldwell finished stellar careers last fall. Sophomore B.W. Webb headlines the returnees, as he made quite a splash in his debut season, earning the CAA’s Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. He led the league, and was tied for second nationally, with eight interceptions. Webb, who was also earned second-team all-conference honors, literally burst on the scene with a historic performance in the Tribe’s season-opening win at Virginia, as he recorded three interceptions – including a fourth-quarter 50-yard return for the game-sealing points.

Special Teams Just as the quarterback position holds a special place in the Tribe program’s tradition, the punting and kicking specialists have been no less credentialed. Since starting league play in 1993, the program has earned a total of 17 all-conference honors between the punter and placekicker positions. Returning senior punter David Miller figures to continue to build on this legacy, as he has already earned two all-conference certificates, including first-team accolades this past fall.

200 Wins 30 Seasons Laycock leads the Tribe to a FCS playoff berth for the first time in the program’s history. Under his guidance, W&M posts a 9-3 record and earns a top-10 national ranking. Additionally, the College has three players selected in the NFL Draft.
Jimmye Laycock HEAD COACH
Success on the Field
Success in the Classroom
A Pro’s Perspective
One of the most successful head coaches in college football history, Jimmye Laycock is the sixth-winningest active coach in the FCS division. During his 30-year career, he has guided the Tribe to 200 victories, eight playoff berths, 20 winning seasons and appearances in the2009 and 2004 national semifinal games. In addition to his teams’ success, 27 players have gone on to sign with NFL teams, including five-time Pro Bowl selection Darren Sharper.
In addition to being the program’s all-time winningest coach, Laycock has never compromised academic standards for athletic success. Since the NCAA began its academic reform with graduation rates surveys and APR rankings in 2004, the Tribe football program has posted a 100 percent graduation rate three times. Additionally, Laycock has produced 11 Academic AllAmericans and 59 academic all-conference selections.
“Coach Laycock has shown that he has one of the more creative offenses in college football. One of the best trademarks for football coaches is a consistent program over a longer period of time. I think Coach Laycock consistently demonstrates that with his program.”

Proven Success
In addition to helping the program reach the NCAA Semifinals twice during the last six seasons, the Tribe coaching staff has also developed a number of players who have gone on to compete in the NFL. In the last two years alone, three Tribe standouts have been selected in the NFL Draft, while two others signed free agent contracts. The postseason success and individual accomplishments have also been coupled with tremendous output on the field statistically. W&M led the nation in rushing defense last season and ranked among the country’s top 10 in four other defensive categories, including total defense, scoring defense, sacks and tackles for a loss. W&M’s offense was also extremely productive as it averaged more than 25 points per game for the eighth time in the last nine seasons.

HISTORY THE COLLEGE
THROUGH THE YEARS
INTRO OUTLOOK
When the NCAA celebrated the first 100 years of college football, it listed the 10 greatest upsets in history. One of the games selected was William and Mary’s 1967 victory against Navy. Only Andrew Beyer, of the Washington Post, cautioned that an upset was possible because of W&M’s passing game - few took notice, however, as odds makers made it a 20-point spread at kickoff.
In 2004, W&M won 11 games and hosted its NCAA Semifinal contest against JMU, which was nationally televised by ESPN2.
Led by Hall of Fame head coach Marv Levy, W&M’s 1967 victory against Navy ranks as one of the biggest upsets in college football history.
