The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) includes 136 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 two (UConn & 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).
