Augie Garrido (born February 6, 1939) is the all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I college baseball history. Heading into the 2005 season, Garrido had compiled a record of 1,486 wins, 701 losses and eight ties over 36 seasons of collegiate coaching.
Garrido is currently the coach of the University of Texas at Austin Longhorns, where he has coached for the last eight seasons and amassed a record of 335-177-1 prior to the 2005 campaign.
Garrido's teams have won five national titles (1979, 1984, 1995, 2002, 2005). He is the first coach to lead teams from two different schools (California State University, Fullerton and Texas) to national titles, and is the first coach to guide squads to national championships in four different decades.
Additionally, Garrido has earned 12 trips to the College World Series after making 25 NCAA Regional Championship appearances, including seven at Texas, while garnering National Coach of the Year honors five times (1975, 1979, 1984, 1985, 2002), regional coach of the year accolades following six different seasons (1975, 1979, 1984, 1985, 2002, 2004) and conference coach of the year distinctions on three occasions (1987, 1995, 2002), as he has led his clubs to 20 league crowns.
