By my count, there have now been 21 national championship teams coached by Mountain State natives. TWENTY-ONE.
Many of the titles were shared, especially in the early days. But here is the astounding list:
Fairview's Fielding Yost (who also played tackle at WVU) coached Michigan to six national titles between 1901 and '23; Parkersburg native Greasy Neale's Washington & Jefferson team claimed a piece in 1921 after playing California to a scoreless tie in the Rose Bowl; Point Pleasant's Ben Schwartzwalder led Syracuse to the 1959 title; Everettville's John McKay led USC to four from 1962 to '74; Follansbee's Lou Holtz led Notre Dame over WVU in 1988; Saban has SEVEN, one with LSU in 2003 and six (2009, '11 and '12) at Alabama; Jimbo Fisher with Florida State in 2013; and Saban again in 2015, 2017 and 2020 -
WOULDN'T BE THE GREATEST TO SEE SHAWN CLARK ADDED THIS LIST !!!
