All Todd Whitten has done at Tarleton is win football games. Whitten is the winningest coach in Texans history, securing 104 wins in 14 seasons in Stephenville. Tarleton has the highest winning percentage among all Texas Division I and Division II programs since 2018 (.727, 48-18) and the state's longest active streak of winning seasons with six.
Some were surprised when rumors began circling entering last season that Whitten could be on the hot seat if the Texans weren’t deemed competitive enough in the United Athletic Conference.
