Hardin served as head coach at Temple from 1970-82 and compiled an 80-52-3 record. The winningest football coach in school history, Hardin led the Owls to a 10-2 record and a Garden State Bowl victory over California in 1979, as Temple was ranked No. 17 in both the AP and UPI final polls. Prior to his arrival in Owl Country, Hardin was head coach at Navy from 1959 to 1964, where he posted a 38-22-2 record and led the Midshipmen to a #2 ranking in 1963. Overall, he had a 118-74-5 mark as a collegiate head coach.
Be a part of "Mission Possible" as the Owls kick off their 2007 season at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 31 at Lincoln Financial Field.
