  • I created this page because I believe the NCAA's official career leaderboard for winningest FCS coached doesn't accurately reflect the most successful coaches at that level. (I believe the same issue applies to coaching leaderboards in other divisions.) What we now know as FCS didn't exist before the 1978 season (as I-AA). Before then, the original I-AA programs had either been in an undivided Division I or in Division II. In the early 1980s, a substantial number of conferences and programs were downgraded to I-AA, and movement between the various subdivisions within D-I (mostly from I-AA/FCS to I-A/FBS) and between divisions (most often D-II to FCS) has been pretty much constant. The NCAA defines an "FCS coach" as an individual who served as a head coach for at least 10 years at that level (whether in the I-AA or FCS era), but counts ALL wins credited to that head coach at ALL four-year programs where he served as HC—even if he coached at a program that wasn't in FCS, or at the same program when it was competing at a different level. — Dale Arnett (talk) 06:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
