Several prominent college football coaches, including Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban, have left their teams, with Harbaugh moving to the NFL and Saban retiring. This leaves only a few active head coaches who have won a national championship. Dabo Swinney, Kirby Smart, and Mack Brown are the only active coaches with national titles, marking a significant shift in the coaching landscape.
With Nick Saban retiring, Jim Harbaugh leaving, and Jimbo Fisher getting fired, there are now just three active coaches who have won an FBS national title. Can you name them?
