Mike Gundy, winner.
Well, I know where this comment section is going to lead to ![]()

Beat me to it
Hey great minds think alike ![]()
So these lists make me think…who are the best coaches to never win a National Title?
Bo Schembechler 234 wins
Frank Beamer 238 wins
Hayden Fry 232 wins
Bill Snyder 215
Don Nehlen 202
Kirk Ferentz 186
Brian Kelly
I guess it’s kinda like hitting the most homers in the minor leagues….
I would have thought Schembechler would have won one ?
He coached Michigan from 1969 to 1989 and never won a title. To coach that long at a BlueBlood and never win a title……
Talking about an in your face guy too !!!
He might be too much in it these days as soft as some kids are
Oh for sure. So would Woody Hayes and many more.
Ha … lol I still remember Woody slugging the guy on the sidelines … that ended it for him
Osburn and bowden had lots of wins before they won. Stoops had about 200 after his 1.
That was uo last one too. Do you still get called a BB if it’s been 25 years since you won one ![]()
Wow 13 hours and no Gundy sucks. You haters are off your game……
Well, it’s still early ![]()
I personally hope you get exactly the same thing that you have been so proud of.
It makes me think who are the best coaches that only won their conference once and never played for a national title.
Hayden Fry won 3 conference titles and never played for a Natty in 20 seasons at Iowa
Bill Snyder 2 conference titles and no Natty berths in 27years
Kirk Ferentz 2 league titles (last one in 2004)
And no NC berths in 25 years
Those would be the closest ones to Gundy
Bowden won his first Natty in 208th victory.
Osborne won his first in his 219th victory
Stoops won 171 games after his NC
Years since Blue Bloods won their last football NC
Michigan 0
Georgia 1
Alabama 3
LSU 4
Clemson 5
Ohio State 9
Florida State 10
Auburn 13
Florida 15
Texas 18
USC 19
Miami 22
Oklahoma 23
Tennessee 25
Nebraska 26
Washington 32
Notre Dame 35
Penn St. 37
So what you’re saying is he can’t be as good as Hayden Fry since that ship has already sailed? Cause there’s no possible way Gundy can win three conference titles in 20 years of coaching now. About the only way that can be equaled out is if he wins a national title this season, or wins the conference and makes it the the CFP Semifinals.
However, it’s still quite possible he has a chance to be as good as Ferentz and Snyder. Too bad the CFP model didn’t start in the 90’s.
