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 134 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 (CUSA), Mid-American Conference (MAC), Mountain West Conference (MW), Pac-12 Conference (Pac-12), Southeastern Conference (SEC), and Sun Belt Conference (SBC). All FBS schools except three (UConn, UMass, & 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 the only FBS head coach who began his current head coaching position before the 2000 season. Three coaches had a previous head coaching stint at their current school: Greg Schiano at Rutgers (2001–2011, 2020–present), Scott Frost at UCF (2016–2018, 2025–present), and Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia (2001–2007, 2025–present)

Coaches' records updated through week 14 of the 2024 college football season.
