Chuck Broyles of Pittsburg State followed a near legendary coach – Dennis Franchione – when he became head coach of the Pittsburg State Gorillas in 1990. Franchione, now the head man at Texas A & M, had compiled a 56-6 record in his last six seasons at PSU. Since that time, though, Broyles has not only continued the tradition, he has become near legendary himself. In his fifteen seasons as head coach he has guided the Gorillas to 13 post-season appearances and an overall 154-30-2 record which makes him the all-time winningest coach by percentage in NCAA Division II history. His 1991 team won the D-II National Championship and last fall was honored as the Schutt Sports Division II Coach of the Year with an overall 14-1 record. The Gorillas have the winningest D-II program in NCAA history. We spoke to Coach Broyles about PSU football, it\'s rich tradition and history, from his office
