What College Coach Has Won the Most National Championships?

Entering the 2019 season, two coaches were tied with the most national titles in college football history.

Bear Bryant and Nick Saban each have won the national championship six times in their coaching career.

Bryant won all of his championships with Alabama with titles in 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978 and 1979.

Saban won his first championship with LSU in 2003 and then he won five with Alabama in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2017.

Saban had a chance to win a seventh title last season, but the Clemson Tigers knocked off Saban's Crimson Tide team College Football Playoff National Championship. 

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney enters Monday night's game looking to win his third National Championship, having won in the 2016-17 season and in 2018-19. Throughout his time with the Tigers, Swinney has made Christianity the foundation of his program, using faith to bring together players and coaches.

LSU head coach Ed Orgeron, on the other hand, is looking to win his first National Championship. Orgeron's list of head coaching accolades is limited compared to Swinney's as the LSU head coach's first title of any sort as a head coach came this past season when LSU won the SEC title. But the Tigers HC is giving Cajun fans a reason to celebrate. 

Kickoff for the College Football Playoff National Championship between No. 1 LSU and No. 3 Clemson is slated for 8 p.m. ET on Monday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
