Anyone ever heard of Paul Jenkins? There's not much chance of him cracking a list of modern coaches, but he had a pretty legendary career in his day. He was the head football coach at Ashland, Lou. St. X, Portsmouth, OH, Lou. Male, Vero Beach, FL, and St. Petersburg High, FL. Since this is BLUEGRASSpreps, I'll focus on his career in Kentucky.

Jenkins was at Ashland from 1928-1934. During his time there the Tomcats won 35 games in a row from '28-'32 and multiple pre playoff state championships. In '31, Ashland won the "mythical" National Championship. In '35 ,Jenkins left Ashland for St.X. He coached X to its first ever win over Male.After a very successful stint in Ohio, Jenkins became the head coach at Male. He led Male to two unbeaten seasons after which he moved to Florida.

All together he coached at least seven undefeated teams(possibly more). He was the head coach for the bulk of Ashland's state record 61 game unbeaten streak (57-0-4). On a side note, he also coached Ashland and Male to state basketball titles. That's one **** of a coaching career.

I'm old but not that old, but he sound like a good one. I played for Jake Hallum at Ashland when we beat ETOWN for a state title.
