BYU Coach LaVell Edwards' signature on a new five-year contract extension opens the possibility that Edwards can enter one of football's most exclusive groups, head coaches that have won 300 games. After Saturday night's game against Virginia, Edwards' career record stood at 245-92-3. The contract extension means that Edwards could coach another 70 games.

Only four college head coaches have won more than 300 games. Bear Bryant (323), Pop Warner (319) and Amos Alonzo Stagg (314) were joined by Penn State's Joe Paterno last year. Florida State's Bobby Bowden is also expected to make 300 wins.
