1. Bear Bryant
2. Saban
3. Rockne
4. Osborne
5. Eddie Robinson
6. Charles (Bud) Wilkinson
7. Paterno
8. Bowden
9. Woody Hayes
10. Frank Leahy

Here is the Bowden write-up: "When Bowden arrived at Florida State, it was a midsize independent, not above taking a paycheck game to keep the athletics department's doors open. When he left 43 years later, the Seminoles had established themselves as a national power. From 1987-2000, Bowden's Seminoles finished in the top five every season, including two national titles (1993, 1999). After joining the ACC in 1992, Florida State won 12 of the next 14 ACC titles. Bowden loved fireworks on offense and fast, physical play on defense. He developed two Heisman winners (Charlie Ward, Chris Weinke) and a generation of goodwill for Florida State."
