Les Miles
Les Miles, aka the Mad Hatter, will always be remembered for signature white hat and total quirkiness. As an assistant coach, he moved around quite a lot, including a stint with the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. However in 2007, he would lead the LSU Tigers to a victory over Ohio State at the BCS National Championship Game.
Jim Harbaugh
Jim Harbaugh started out as a QB, so clearly not an associate degree online kind of guy, before he became a head coach. In fact, he is currently head coach at his alma mater, University of Michigan – Wolverines. While he was head coach at San Diego, in 2004, he racked up consecutive Pioneer League championships. By 2007, he had moved to Stanford and snagged two bowl berths in just four seasons, and yes that includes the 2011 Orange Bowl.
