John McKay
McKay is a USC legend thanks to 16 straight seasons of excellence. McKay coached from 1960 to 1075 and his crowning moment was a Rose Bowl win over the then #2 ranked Wisconsin Badgers. McKay was known for his powerful offensive schemes and his domination on the national stage.
McKay’s team were so sweet to watch that you might end up needing diabetic foot care after re-watching his games! Okay not really, but you should really take some time off to watch them play.
Mark Dantonio
Of course the current head football coach at Michigan State University makes the list. Since 2007, Dantonio has held this position and heads over one of the most successful eras in the program’s history. To date, he’s led the Spartans to three Big Ten Conference championships and also seven victories over their arch rival Michigan.
In 2013, he coached the team to its first ever 13-win season and their fifth trip to the Rose Bowl, defeating Stanford and finishing the season ranked third in the nation. Not bad!
