In 1976 Pittsburgh coach Johnny Majors accepted the Tennesse job for the 1977 season. Majors,Pitt and Tennesse worked out/agreed to,etc for Majors to coach the 1977 Sugar Bowl which indeed gave Pitt and Majors the national title.

If the bowl games are not part of any given season, then what are they. A wholly other season?

Kiffin was fired by Saban right before the title game.

Actually that's not answering the question. Franklin got fired therefore he can't be considered a D1 coach

Major D1 Program coach


For clarity, would said program had to have won at least a conference title in the past 60 years to qualify?

You did not address my question. That term is not defined in the way you represent. Is it? If so, do us the favor to exposit it as you may while addressing the substance of my question.

Yes, Brian Kelly did it to come to LSU.


He also did it to UC before they played their biggest game ever (BCS Sugar Bowl Bid) to go to ND.
