Details

Active coaches

Six individuals have coached as College Football Hall of Fame inductees:

Time frame

Walter Camp first became a head coach in 1888 and is the earliest on the list to be named a head coach. Lloyd Carr first became a head coach in 1995 and is the most recent head coach appointee on the list. Edward K. Hall was a head coach for only two years, in 1892 and 1893, while John Gagliardi was head coach for 64 years before retiring at the end of the 2012 season.

Win–loss records

Edward K. Hall and John Gagliardi have, respectively, the fewest wins (10) and most wins (489) on the list. Walter Camp has the fewest losses at five while Amos Alonzo Stagg has the most losses at 199. Stagg also has the most games resulting in a tie at 35. Multiple coaches have finished their career with zero ties, and overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996 which make ties impossible in the period since.[3] Larry Kehres has the highest win percentage at .929; Walter Camp is second at .925. Tuss McLaughry has the lowest win percentage at .490. He is only coach on the list under the .500 mark.
