Known as 'Coach Gus' to Longhorns players and fans, Cliff Gustafson won national titles...
Former Texas baseball coach Cliff Gustafson, who won two national championships and has college baseball's best career winning percentage, died early Monday morning. He was 91.
Gustafson coached at Texas from 1968 until 1996, winning 1,466 games, a record that was later broken by his successor, the late Augie Garrido, and former Florida State coach Mike Martin. He now ranks 15th all-time but eighth among Division I coaches. Gustafson's .792 winning percentage remains the best among Division I coaches.
In addition to the national championships — two of Texas' six overall — in 1975 and 1983, his Longhorn teams won 22 Southwest Conference titles and was named the national Coach of the Year twice. "A lot of young men's lives were changed in the 3, 4, and sometimes more years they spent in his guidance," said Greg Swindell, who pitched at Texas from 1984-86."He will always have a place in my heart."
