Has any school hired three coaches in a row that won a NC?

I'm very curious. The odds have to be incredibly low.

Texas A&M has or at least they beat their chests enough to make me think so

Does Orgeron count as a hire?

Correct. Miami did. Had Butch Davis stayed and not went to the Browns he would have been the 4th in a row to win a NC at Miami. My kids city league football coach could have won a NC with that 2001 Miami team. Hopefully we make the right hire and our next coach joins that list of 3 coaches in a row to win a NC at one school.

Pretty sure miami did it. Schnellenberger, jimmy johnson, and Dennis erickson all won a natty. Then they hired butch davis and he didn't win one but was close. After butch davis they hired Larry Coker who won a national title too. So they hired 5 head coaches and 4 of them won a natty. That's pretty good. Lsu can do it too though, we have all of the resources to be extremely successful here. LES frickING MILES WON A TITLE HERE AND COULD HAVE WON 2...with as bad of a coach he was he still got it done. Lsu will be fine and whoever gets the job next season will be competing for title right off the bat.

I would have guessed Oklahoma (Wilkenson, Fairbanks, Switzer) - but I checked, and Fairbanks did not follow Wilkenson directly.

The 30 for 30 on Miami was very good.

I highly recommend it if you have not seen it.
