What four current FBS head coaches never played college football?

Damn it Fat Charlie isn't coaching otherwise I might have had one.

Paul Johnson is one.

Hugh Freeze didn’t but not sure he counts....I don’t think Cutcliffe did if I remember right from when he was at ole miss

So far, we have three correct answers: Dave Cutcliffe, Paul Johnson, and Mike Leach

 

Just one more to go...

Total guess...Clay Helton or Mark Dantonio. Figured it had to be one of ND’s rivals.

Is O'Leary still coaching somewhere?

I believe Dantonio played for the Gamecocks.

I had to Google to see if Kelly ever played ball, didn't know he did. If you Google "Did Brian Kelly play football" the picture it brings up is freaking priceless.

Pat Fitzgerald....he played at Northwestern...which can't be considered college ball...can it?

Clay Helton played QB at Auburn and Houston

I believe Kelly played LB at a small school...Assumption or something equally religious sounding

Yeah I saw that, what gave me a chuckle was the accompanying picture when I searched was one of the purple face images. It also looked like someone took the time to do a mashup of him and Jimmy Johnson, they might share some DNA (And nothing else).

Yah not like they ever walked into Notre Dame Stadium and beat a highly favoured Irish team....

Chip Kelly

I think they won the big10 that year eh?

 

I can not wait for that re-match.. I was so pissed in '14 when these kids gave up after the ASU game and lost to Louisville and NW. I hope Brian Kelly hangs 50 on the Wildcats next year.

Chip Kelly

 

Sorry, Chip Kelly played DB at the University of New Hampshire

Is Sonny Dykes still coach at Cal? Think I heard he never played football.

He will be coaching SMU next year; SMU's former coach was hired by Arkansas. But I have no idea if Dykes played football or not.

With Sonny Dykes getting hired by SMU, he became the fifth active head coach never to play college football. (Dykes played baseball at Texas Tech)

 

So far we have four of the five: Sonny Dykes, Dave Cutcliffe, Paul Johnson, and Mike Leach

 

We are missing the last one.

 

Guesses that are not right:

 

Chip Kelly played DB at the University of New Hampshire

Clay Helton played QB at Auburn and Houston

Brian Kelly played at Assumption

Dantonio played for the Gamecock
