Wingard spent two seasons as head football coach at LSU from 1907-1908, leading the ’08 Tigers to a 10-0 record and the 1908 national championship. His 1907 team finished 7-3 and lost in the Bacardi Bowl. Wingard also coached basketball and baseball at LSU during his career. He retired in 1925 with 70 wins as a football coach and passed away in 1927 at the age of 48.
