Barry Switzer
For 16 years, Barry Switzer was head football coach at the University of Oklahoma and four years as head coach for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. While in the NFL, he and the Cowboys won Super Bowl XXX against the Steelers.
Switzer has one of the highest winning percentages of any college football coach in history(!), and is one of just three head coaches to win both a college football national championship and a Super Bowl, (the others being Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carroll).
David Shaw
Up next is David Shaw, the head coach at Stanford Cardinal’s football team. Shaw served as the team’s offensive coordinator from 2007 to 2010. Previously, he served as passing game coordinator at the University of San Diego and as assistant coach in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders, and Baltimore Ravens.
Shaw played football for Stanford as a wide receiver between 1991 and 1994. It was after his playing career that he took to the sidelines to become a very successful coach.
