How many active FBS head coaches have a HOF resume right now?

[7Samurai13]

He won't need 15, but 3 won't do it. He will be if he stays at Wisconsin. What was Bielema thinking?

Better BBQs down south and getting paid a shit ton more money than what he was getting from Wisconsin.

Bielema think? Surely you jest.

 

[Olyduck]

i dont think its actually all that hard to get in to the college football hof. I mean Oregon's Mike Bellotti got in

 

[NolePride]

Bill Snyder is already in the Hall of Fame

 

[theSabanator20]

So
None of those guys.

No... I'm saying they are at that level and more than likely will be voted in 10-15 years after retirement. They just aren't 1st ballot HOF'ers.

 

[7Samurai13]

Please someone explain to me the Jimbo Fisher love. He has 1 title and 1 imaginary title while playing in an overall weak conference and honestly, if the playoffs started a year earlier, I doubt he makes it out of the first round.

Scott Frost or the system is rigged.

He does already have one natty at UCF.

You got to figure after his run of 7 championships in the 2020’s he’ll be a shoe in.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

my coach is 0-0-0…not bad.

I can't explain it. He ain't that great IMHO. Guess we'll have to get the explanation from the aggie faithful.

 

[Deep Creek]

So is mine. He better enjoy it for another 6 weeks.

I miss Candi.

Are you not counting his Pre-National Championship at A&M though? That’s fucking impressive.

 

[Olyduck]

Like seriously though look at some of the names and resumes that are in.

Charlie Bachman 137-83-24 record no titles of any kind 0-1 in bowls.
Eddie Anderson 201-128-15 record no titles no bowls.
Andy Gustafson 115-78-4 record no titles 1-3 in bowls.
harvey Harman 140-104-7 record no bowls he had 9 conference titles at Rutgers when they were a part of a 3 team conference.

i mean seriously this is what it takes to get in the HOF for college football.

 

[outofyourmind]

If Bob Stoops hadn't stepped aside, I think his name would be on this list, if he were still coaching this year, with this thread.

 

[Tomhusker]

Scott Frost

Fully half of teams have finished undefeated. Hasn't lost a game since his very first year as a head coach. Mythical national championship. (The same kind Bear Bryant, Tom Osborne and other HOF'ers have.) Has made a bowl game every single year. Produces players who get drafted into the NFL.

We are talking about CFB HOF. Not UCF HOF.

UCF is CFB. My argument stands.

Hayden Fry's big thing is his coaching tree. And he is in the Hall of Fame.

Wikipedia

John Hayden Fry (born February 28, 1929) is a former American football player and coach. He served as the head football coach at Southern Methodist University (SMU) from 1962 to 1972, North Texas State University—now known as the University of North Texas—from 1973 to 1978, and the University of Iowa from 1979 to 1998, compiling a career college football record of 232–178–10.

Also, his 1983 coaching staff was one of the best ever. If I'm not mistaken, he also recruited the first black player in the Southwestern Conference (which is mostly made up of now Big 12 teams).

​

So he got in for his tree and not his accomplishments is what you are saying?

If Dantonio had done what he has done at Ohio State or U of M I think he would be getting a lot more love. The fact that he has done it at MSU should actually count for a lot more.
