If who's "active" on the sportsreference page is correct, I counted 20. That may include wins at other levels though, so that's at most.

And only FBS wins count for the list I was using. If a coach has 20 wins at Earlham College and 80 at Ohio State - he doesn't have 100 for these purposes even if his winning percentage would otherwise count.

Yeah, I think 20 is right with that qualifier on other levels.

So the record at at Earlham College counts towards winning percentage but not towards total wins? Doesn't matter, I'm reading this as name a guy who has coached in college.

Group email just went out regarding Q8. You can answer again if you've already submitted.

ETA: And some of you were in the right ballpark, so don't feel like you were way, way wrong. I'm just giving everyone an equal chance again.

Earlham suspended it's football program in 2018. They were going to re-evaluate and possibly start back up this Fall. I wonder where that stands.
