This is a serious question: does anyone know, currently, how many great head coaches or HC's in charge of great teams aren't a specialist on one side of the ball?

Just for fun...

Top 20 coaches in the nation according to Foxsports

1. Saban - def genius
2. Meyer - off genius
3. Harbaugh - off genius
4. Petrino - off genius
5. C Petersen - off specialist
6. Swinney - nothing
7. David Shaw - off specialist
8. Dantonio - def specialist
9. Bob Stoops - def specialist
10. Gary Patterson - def genius
11. Mark Richt - off specialist
12. Herman - off genius
13. Kyle Whittingham - def specialist
14. Freeze - off specialist
15. Jimbo Fisher - off specialist
16. Sumlin - off specialist
17. Ken Niumatalololololol - off specialist
18. Bieliema - def specialist
19. Fleck - nothing ???
20. Brian Kelly - def specialist

So out of those 20, they were all either excellent coordinators OR ran their off/def while they were HCs at smaller schools...save Dabo and Fleck(i dont claim to be an expert on Fleck)
