George W. Hoskins was the first head coach for Penn State. Penn State played football from 1887 to 1891, before his arrival, but he was actually the first coach. During his tenure from 1892 to 1895, he compiled a 17-4-4 record. His .760 winning percentage ranks highest in school history, surpassing notable coaches such as Joe Paterno, Hugo Bezdek, and Rip Engle. He lost his first college football game at the University of Pennsylvania, and tied his final game against Western Reserve. He followed up coaching a single season as the head coach of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers.
