Knute Rockne
Rockne was as big a part of college football as anyone ever could be. Rockne coached Notre Dame to a 105 – 12 – 5 record over 13 years of coaching. Rockne landed his coaching job after World War I and he immediately turned Notre Dame into one of the most storied schools of all time.

Rockne coached Notre Dame to 11 seasons with one or fewer losses. The Norwegian-American is remembered by his famous words, “One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.”
Bear Bryant
And here we are, the man who stands above Nick Saban at Alabama. Bear Bryant coached for 38 years for four different schools. Bryant took one season with Alabama to build his program and then he immediately turned on the boosters – leading the team to a domination that the SEC has rarely seen since.

He is noted with collecting six national championships as well as thirteen conference championships. There’s no questioning why Bear Bryant is sitting here on our list.
