Personally, I vote for Tom Osborne. He is more than an honorable mention in everyone of your categories and he is an outstanding human being. The perfect coach too, run down the crown and dominate d. (too bad the crowns are thing of the past)

The Mormon in me is tempted to say Lavell Edwards, but I don't know enough college football coaches to really provide any input. Though I must say, winning 93% of your games is amazing. I might have to go with that Mount Union coach.

At any level, Larry Kehres; at DI-A, Bobby Bowden. Fourteen consecutive seasons of at least ten wins (1987-2000), never ranked lower in the AP Poll than fifth. Now, many will argue that he only had two national titles (1993, 1999), but without Wide Right I-III/Miami as his major rival he would've won far more. A better argument is about FSU`s lean years or his good-but-not-great record at WVU.
