Coaching at their alma mater...

Sorry, I know we had a thread on this before, but I couldn't find it with the search function. Anyway, I'm working on a story and need to find how many Division I schools have football and men's basketball teams coached by alums. I know of NC State, UNC (for a few more weeks) and Maryland in the ACC. Anybody know where to find a definitive list?

 

It might be a last-ditch effort and take some research, but the stats guy at the NCAA (Gary Johnson, I believe) can send you a list of head coaches and their alma maters. That might be a start.

 

I believe Frank Beamer is a Virginia Tech alum.

 

IIRC, Mike Shula played at Alabama.

 

I have a feeling this would be a pretty long list. Off the top of my head, you also have Jim Boeheim at Syracuse and Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern.

 

Houston Nutt started out at Arkansas but finished up at Oklahoma State.

 

Karl Dorrell -- UCLA
Phil Fulmer -- Tennessee
Bobby Lamb -- Furman

 

Ed DeChellis -- PSU

 

Ernie Kent is an Oregon alum, Lorenzo Romar is a Washington alum.

 

Mike Gundy (FB) and Sean Sutton (MBB) -- Oklahoma State

 

MAC's got a few.

Keith Dambrot -- Akron
Charlie Coles -- Miami (OH)
Brady Hoke -- Ball State
Charles Ramsey -- Eastern Michigan
Stan Joplin (MBB) and Tom Amstutz (FB) -- Toledo

 

MVC division ...

Southern Illinois -- Chris Lowery
Bradley -- Jim Les
