  By SuperWest Sports Staff

   January 11, 2026

In their combined histories, the top college football programs in the West have had 277 football coaches in various conferences, including the Pac-12, Mountain West, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and others.

The two tables below display the current head coaches for the top programs in the West, organized by winning percentage, and the all-time coaches, listed by total wins.

Both lists show cumulative wins and losses during the coaching tenure at one or more of the programs in our coverage footprint.

Each coach’s listing includes his overall wins, losses, ties (for past years when they occurred), and winning percentage.

*The win-loss records reflect on-the-field wins and do not account for games vacated due to NCAA violations.
