On March 7, 1949, Lon Stiner resigned as Oregon State's football coach. He said at the time, "A football coach must have full support in his job. I have had excellent support in the past but when the full support no longer exists, a change is for the best for all parties concerned."[2] With 16 years of service, he was the dean of the PCC football coaches.[2] He compiled a record of 74–49–17 (49–42–13 against PCC opponents) during his tenure as head coach.
