Trivia: coach that has beat the most head coaches with national championships - goofus - 05-22-2018 12:46 PM This one I don't know the answer to. Which head coach has beat the most head coaches that have at least 1 FBS national championship as a head coach? What inspired this question, on the Iowa message boards we have been playing this game. Name all the head coaches that Kirk Ferentz and Hayden Fry have beat that have won FBS national championships. So far we have come up with 7 names for Ferentz and 5 for Fry. coaches that Kirk Ferentz has beat Joe Paterno Jim Tressel Nick Saban Steve Spurrier Urban Meyer Lloyd Carr Gene Chizik And for what it is worth, the list could have been even bigger for Ferentz. Here are some coaches he faced but lost to as a head coach. Pete Carroll Mack Brown Bobby Stoops So that's the benchmark to beat. 7 coaches. Who is better? I am guessing its probably Paterno, Osborne, Bowden or Saban, but don't know if there is an easy way to look this up.

Beat at least once: B. Bowden, M. Brown, Bryant, Erickson, D. Ford, L. Holtz, J. Johnson, B. McCartney, Paterno, Royal, N. Saban, Schnellenberger, Spurrier, Switzer. Lost to at least once, never beat: D. James.

Mack never coached against Osborne. And Tom was 0-1 against Danny Ford. http://wally83.tripod.com/toalltime.html RE: Trivia: coach that has beat the most head coaches with national championships - Wedge - 05-22-2018 01:56 PM (05-22-2018 01:42 PM)Renandpat Wrote:(05-22-2018 01:34 PM)Wedge Wrote: Osborne had at least 14. A shrine site for Tom Osborne. LOL. Anyway, I was counting a win over North Carolina, but that turns out to have been before Mack was there. And Danny Ford belongs on the second list, not the first, and Bobby Ross should be on the second list. (By the way, that means Osborne had two consecutive seasons in which his Nebraska team lost to both teams that split the AP and coaches' polls #1s -- Colorado and Georgia Tech in 1990, and Miami and Washington in 1991.) So it's Beat at least once: B. Bowden, Bryant, Erickson, Fulmer, L. Holtz, J. Johnson, B. McCartney, Paterno, Royal, N. Saban, Schnellenberger, Spurrier, Switzer. Lost to at least once, never beat: D. Ford, D. James, B. Ross. RE: Trivia: coach that has beat the most head coaches with national championships - goofus - 05-22-2018 02:39 PM I guess I could try to get it started for Paterno. Coaches he has beat Woody Hayes 4-2 Bobby Bowden 6-1 Bear Bryant 1-4 LaVell Edwards 2-1 Tom Osborne 2-3 Lou Holtz 6-5 Johny Majors Lloyd Carr Jim Tressel Vince Dooley Jimmy Johnson So that's 11. I am sure there are more.
