What NCAA football coach has won the most Division 1 games?

Answer 1

As of September 22, 2007, John Gagliardi from St. John's University in Collegeville, MN has 447 wins, the late Eddie Robinson has 408 wins, Bobby Bowden 359 wins, Joe Paterno 354 wins, Amos Alonzo Stagg 340 wins.

Answer 2

Joe Paterno of Penn State with 24, all at Penn State.

who are the top 5

Very hard question! I believe it is Bobby Bowden of Florida State University & West Virginia University. Joe Pa had all his wins vacated from 1998-2011. One of Paterno's vacated bowl wins was the 2005 Orange Bowl against Bobby Bowden. Unsure if Bowden would get a win in this case. Bowden himself had his 2006 Emerald Bowl win vacated. Bowden also won the 1975 Peach Bowl with WVU. Bowden won 21 Bowl games with FSU. I' would minus the vacated 2006 Emerald Bowl from Bowden's total and add the the 2005 Orange Bowl, bringing Bowden's total with WVU & FSU bowl wins to 22.

Answer 3

Actually, its Pat Summit with 983 career wins. She is the all-time winningest coach in NCAA history (men or women). She surpassed Dean Smith in 2005. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/news/story?id=2349116
