- Football Coach
The winningest football coach in Temple history, he had an 80-52-3 record in 13 seasons. He led the 1979 team to the Garden State Bowl where the Owls defeated California to finish 10-2 for the University's most wins ever in a season. That team was ranked 17th in both the AP and UPI polls, the first time the Owls were in the national wire service polls. His team set a Temple record of 14 straight wins (eight in 1973 and six in 1974). He was honored as the Kodak District II Coach of the Year in 1974. He produced numerous All-Americans and NCAA statistical leaders at Temple. Head coach at Navy from 1959 through 1964, he compiled a 38-22-2 record there. Hardin was inducted into Temple's Hall of Fame in 1994.
