I'm a huge sports buff and I've got a little research project I'm doing on college football. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing who are the college football coaches with the most national championships under their belt. Anyone have a list or a resource I could check out?
Sure, you're in for quite a journey studying these greats! Below are some of the most successful college football coaches in terms of national championships:
1. Paul "Bear" Bryant - Bryant coached at the University of Alabama and won six national championships. He is often recognized as one of the greatest coaches in the history of college football.
2. Nick Saban - Saban, also at the University of Alabama currently, has bagged seven national championships. He won one championship at LSU and six more at Alabama.
3. Urban Meyer - Despite his controversial career, Meyer has three national championships to his name. He won two while at University of Florida and another one at Ohio State.
4. Pete Carroll - Carroll, while at the University of Southern California, won two national championships.
5. Bobby Bowden - Bowden won two national championships while coaching at Florida State University.
