There are actually more than four College Football head coaches who never played football. Some of them are Dennis Franchione, Charlie Weis, Paul Johnson, and Sonny Dykes. Also on the list are David Cutcliffe, Hugh Freeze, and Mike Leach.
The Kansas City Chiefs Todd Haley was the only NFL coach to never play football. He didn't even play at least in high school.

I believe it be very rare sinces you can't explain the game if you've never played it. You can't pass on or share pass experinces or give tip to become a better player. Then again there our coaches you have never played and I believe he or she is not benfitting their team or can't truly help them. That's just my little opinion.
