Who is Jimmye Laycock?
Jimmye Laycock has served as head football coach at the College of William & Mary since 1980. Laycock graduated from William & Mary in 1970 and played quarterback under legendary coaches Marv Levy and Lou Holtz. Prior to taking over the Tribe head coaching position, Laycock coached at Newport News High School, Clemson University, The Citadel, and the University of Memphis.
Laycock has been the most successful head coach in the history of William & Mary Tribe football, leading the team to 22 winning seasons and 11 post-season appearances, including a 48-34 loss in the Division I-AA national semifinal to the James Madison Dukes in 2004, who defeated the Montana Grizzlies to win the National Championship the following week. After a win against the Southern Illinois Salukis in the FCS national quarterfinals on December 5, 2009, Laycock recorded his 200th win as the Tribe's head coach—the 13th coach in FCS history to reach that mark.
On June 21, 2008, William & Mary officially opened its state-of-the-art football facility which was named after him. It is called the Jimmye Laycock Football Center and it sits adjacent to Zable Stadium.
