Most Playoff Appearances
|
(Updated 5/6/2017) Our list of coaches with the most football playoff appearances is very similar to our list of coaches with the most wins. The same names are on both lists in close to the same order near the top. Over the years qualifying for the playoffs has become easier than it once was prior to 1984. The current playoff system allows roughly one half the teams in each classification to qualify for the playoffs. That is why most of the coaches on our list are active this season or recently retired. |

Qualifying for the
playoffs does not carry the same significance it once did but it is still
the first goal of every team taking the field each season. Coach Buddy Anderson of Vestavia Hills tops out list with thirty playoff appearances in his thirty-seven year football coaching career. Glenn Vickery, Jamie Riggs and Robby James are a close second with twenty-eight. Recently retired Waldon Tucker from Fayette County and Spence McCracken are close behind with twenty-six football playoff appearances during their respective coaching careers. Below is a list of the coaches with at least twenty-two playoff appearances during their high school football coaching careers. | |
