Unveiling the Rare Trio: The Three Active College Football Coaches Who Have Won a National Championship

far the most stunning college football trivia I’ve seen this year. Only three active coaches have won a national championship. Can you guess who they are with guys like Saban and Jim Harbaugh leaving the sport? There’s just three. The easy one, the most recent one, Kirby Smart Georgia, 2023 national championship. Before Kirby, it was Clemson’s Dabo Sweeney. He’s won two 2016 and 2018. There’s one more college football coach that has a national champion and this is the trickiest one. Matt Brown, 2005 national championship, Vince Young in Texas. He’s now the current coach at UNC. That’s a tough photo. So that’s it. That’s the list and I’m stunned. How is this true? What happened to the rest of the guys? Well, we know Harbaugh went to the NFL. Then there was Kirby, a whole lot of Nick Saban here. Don’t forget coach Oh, Ed Orgeron. Can’t believe he was run out so quick. Like I said, a lot of Nick Saban, a little bit of Urban Meyer and then a Jimbo Fisher who’s no longer an active coach. So do you think we’ll see a fourth added to this list this year? I think their easy candidates would be Dan Lanning at Oregon or maybe Ryan Day, Ohio State if they’re able to put it together. Maybe Sarkat Texas is going to be the fourth, but who do you guys think is the fourth coach to win an adding this night? If college football coach.
