Before we get into the all-time top five coaches let’s talk about the criteria used for ranking them.
The criteria used to rank these coaches includes:
- Win Percentage
- Consensus All-Americans while at Notre Dame
- National Titles
- NFL Draft Picks
- Length of Tenure
While there are other possible categories, these were the five I believe were best suitable and most impactful when considering the question at hand. Categories were chosen based on if they could fit with every coach, with the exception of “NFL Draft Picks” which didn’t fit for one coach.
