John McKissick, whose 621 victories at South Carolina’s Summerville High made him the nation’s winningest football coach at any level, has died at age 93.

says McKissick had been in hospice care and died Thursday surrounded by family. The longtime coach retired in 2014 after 62 seasons.

Brouthers said McKissick’s birth year is listed as 1929, although his biography has him born three years earlier on Sept. 25, 1926. McKissick had a career record of 621-155-13 at Summerville from 1952 through 2014. He won 10 South Carolina state championships, the last one coming in 1998., when he was carried off the field by his players.

No wonder the average IQ of students is lower in US compared to OECD countries. Look at a paper using the word 'WINNINGEST' instead of most wins. No doubt people like realDonaldTrump come to power in this country.
