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.

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.

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.
Everybody is in but I have to move the reveal back to 3PM.
