The list below is a football team comprised of all active FBS (formerly Division I-A) coaches. The school next to the coach’s name is the school where he currently coaches. The school below is the school where he played.
QB: Steve Spurrier (South Carolina)
Florida (1963-1966): The Gator quarterback was one of the best in college football. He was the 1966 Heisman Trophy winner.
RB: Dan Hawkins (Colorado)
UC Davis (1978-1982): Played fullback for the Aggies but had no speed. No, the real reason he is starting at RB for this team is that no college coach was a running back. PLEASE Lawrence Phillips, take over a program.
FB: Jeff Jagodzinski (Boston College)
University of Wisconsin–Whitewater (1981-1984): Was a three-year starter at fullback for the WarHawks.
WR: Tyrone Willingham (Washington)
Michigan State (1975-1977): The former Spartan played both quarterback and wide receiver.
WR: Mike Bellotti (Oregon)
UC Davis (1970-1973): Never thought I would have two guys from UC Davis on the team, but Bellotti edged Clemson's Tommy Bowden. Bowden was a walk-on, while Bellotti was an all-conference receiver in his senior year.
TE: Tim Brewster (Minnesota)
Illinois (1981-1984): Was a two-time all-Big Ten tight end and captain of the 1984 Rose Bowl team.
Tackle: Dave Wannstedt (Pittsburgh)
Pittsburgh (1971-1973): Was a strong blocker for the Panthers and blocked for Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett.
Guard: Ralph Friedgen (Maryland)
Maryland (1962, 1968): "The Fridge" was a force on the line. He could pull with the best of them.
Center: Sylvester Croom (Mississippi State)
Alabama (1972-1974): Won three SEC championships and a national championship in 1973 while playing for Bear Bryant. In his senior year, he earned the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and was an All-American.
Guard: Phillip Fulmer (Tennessee)
Tennessee (1968-1971): Was a guard for the 1969 SEC champion team and on the 1970 11-1 Sugar Bowl team.
Tackle: Slan Brock (Army)
Colorado (1976-1979): He was an All-American for the Buffaloes in 1979 as well as team MVP.
Defensive End: Tom O’Brien (NC State)
United States Naval Academy (1968-1970): Was a three-year starter for the Midshipmen. Plus, if any receiver catches a deep pass against this defense, it’s all good because O’Brien could go Mark Walberg and shoot him—he was a sniper in the Navy.
Defensive Tackle: Bret Bielema (Wisconsin)
Iowa (1989-1992): Played four years as nose guard for the Hawkeyes. Even though he is the Badger head coach, he still stays true to his alma mater with a Hawkeye tattoo on his calf.
Defensive End: Al Groh (Virginia)
Virginia (1963-1965): Not only was a solid defensive end for the Cavaliers, but he was also a very good lacrosse player.
