Couldn’t find anything on this. Probably way back when? ARANDA could be the 1st. Just sayin’. That would be awesome!

Yes,quite a few

Bear Bryant-Alabama
Gene Stallings-Alabama
Barry switzer-Oklahoma
Tom Osborne- Nebraska
John Robinson-USC
Bud Wilkinson- Oklahoma

These come to mind immediately.
Sure there are more. Believe Frank leahy at Notre dame, red drew at Bama, knute rockne at Notre dame.

FACT CHECK. Bryant (for 1) did NOT win a national championship at Ala. as assistant coach. I’ll research others another day. Thanks for reply.
To make subject line more clear (my bad) college coach with national championship as head coach AND national championship as assistant coach at same university. Aranda has already won as assistant coach at LSU.
