List of current NCAA Division I FBS football coaches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) includes 130 teams. Each team has one head coach.[1] In addition to the head coach, most teams also have at least one offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator;[1] however, the head coach will sometimes assume one of these roles as well. FBS is composed of ten conferences: American Athletic Conference (The American), Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Big 12 Conference, Big Ten Conference, Conference USA (C-USA), Mid-American Conference (MAC), Mountain West Conference (MW), Pac-12 Conference (Pac-12), Southeastern Conference (SEC), and Sun Belt Conference. All FBS schools except seven (Army, BYU, UConn, Liberty, UMass, New Mexico State, & Notre Dame) are members of one of these conferences.

In 2019, Kirk Ferentz of Iowa became the longest-continuous tenured head coach in Division I FBS. Ferentz began his current coaching tenure in 1999 and is also the only FBS head coach who began his current head coaching position before the 2000 season. Two coaches had a previous head coaching stint at their current school: Mack Brown at North Carolina (1988-1997, 2019–present) and Greg Schiano at Rutgers (2001-2011, 2020–present).

Coaches' records updated through week 13 of the 2021 college football season.
