In the NFFA's eight-year, playoff era, the Fidalgo Island Sea Hogs have 72 regular-season wins and the East Nashville Black Dogs have 70, making them the two winningest franchises during that period. Not surprisingly, amidst all those wins, they each won a pair of championships.
Although they have as many losses as they do wins over those eight years, defending champions the Atlanta Smack Daddies also have won a pair of rings, and like the Dogs, are in the hunt for a third title in eight years beginning this weekend. The Hogs are out of the championship playoff round this season after losing the points tiebreaker to the Daddies for the final wild-card berth.
In his seventh year at the helm of the team from East Nashville, Jim McMahon has never had a losing campaign, compiling a regular-season record of 65 wins and only 33 losses, including a perfect campaign in 2008, and winning six division titles and two NFFA crowns. With all due respect to DTA, the man formerly known as McMizzle is the most successful coach in NFFA history.
The league didn't split into two divisions and hold postseason playoffs until its third season. The West Nashville Beelzebubbas won the first NFFA championship in 2002 and the Smack Daddies won the second in 2003. The table below shows how each franchise has fared in the regular season since then.
