The NCAA does not, nor has it ever awarded a crystal football. The trophy is question which is topped with a Waterford Crystal football is the "American Football Coaches Association National Championship Trophy," as it awarded by the American Football Coaches Association to the team that finished No. 1 in the final Coaches' Poll each football season. Since the introduction of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), the winner of the BCS National Championship Game automatically receives the trophy, as the Coaches' Poll was contractually obligated to vote the winning team No. 1. The trophy was first presented in 1986, however the AFCA allows programs to purchase replicas of the trophy for any year prior to 1986 in which the program finished No. 1 in the final AFCA-sponsored Coaches' Poll. The 2014 trophy, won by Florida State Unviersity, will be the last "Coaches' Trophy" awarded. A new trophy as part of the upcoming "College Football Playoff" will take its place at the end of the 2014 season.
This question is difficult to answer, given the "mythical" national championship in Division 1-FBS (I-A) and the fact that Division 2 was only organized in the 1970s (previously known under different names, including "college division"). There have been coaches to win national titles at both the FBS and FCS levels (Jim Tressel being the most recent, having won at Youngstown State and Ohio State), but there are no verifiable instances of a coach winning a D-II and D-I-FBS title since Division 2 was officially chartered.
There are 32 head coaches (one for every team) and a lot of assistants.
The NCAA does not select a champion in Division I-FBS college football-the only varsity, NCAA-sponsored sport to not have an official championship. The NCAA does, however, recognize championships that are awarded by "major selectors;" organizations that are generally and widely regarded as major sources. Today, those sources are the BCS (in conjunction with its agreement with the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Poll) and the Associated Press. Beginning with the 2014 football season, the College Football Playoff will replace the BCS.
If you are saying just Division 1 then no, but Jim Tressel (who now coaches for Ohio State) won the Divison 2 Championship at Youngtown State and the NCAAF Championship with Ohio State.
