NCAA makes UCF’s National Championship official.


Recommended Posts



Here's the real fun aspect of all this. We Nebraska fans can officially claim we are one of only five schools with an active coach that has won a national title.

 

Meyer has won three (2006, 2008 and 2014)

Saban has won six (2003, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2017)

Jimbo Fisher has won one (2013)

Dabo Swinney has won one (2016)

And our guy Frost has one (2017)

And to take it a step further, and really annoy Michigan fans, we are the only school* that has an active coach that was won a national title as both a player and a head coach.

 

* - At least I'm assuming so

 

Edit: 

Scratch that, Dabo won a title as receiver at Alabama in 1992. Still though, Frost is one of two.
