There are 130 Division 1 FBS teams. That's 130 head coaches. Without googling, how many of those head coaches have won national titles?
Here's the answer.
Jumbo Fisher has had a miracle occur and everyone's laughing with him.

Freeze out at Ole Miss.
Apparently the school was cool with him cheating during recruiting, but not cool with him calling escorts.
He actually caught himself apparently. He had the opportunity to clear personal phone records before they were turned over for the cheating stuff and he missed one to an escort service.

First rumor I've heard is Greg Schiano (current Buckeye D coordinator, former Rutgers and Tampa Bay Bucs head coach) could replace Freeze. Hopefully, after the season...

Yes, he did...
From Wiki:
Rutgers
On December 1, 2000, Schiano accepted the head coaching position at Rutgers,[5] the state university of New Jersey. He was given the task of turning around a struggling program that had been without a bowl game appearance since the 1978 Garden State Bowl (coincidentally, that game was also against Arizona State, and a then-12-year-old Schiano was among the attendees), and had just two winning seasons since 1980. Although Schiano was producing solid recruiting classes, especially by Rutgers standards, the Scarlet Knights struggled to mediocre records in his first four seasons as head coach.
Despite the rough start to his tenure at Rutgers, Schiano began to turn around for the program during the 2005 season. Schiano recruited New York native Ray Rice, who was considered the top running back in the Tri-State area. He coached Rutgers to a 7–4 record that season. The highlight of their season came in a nationally-televised 37–29 upset win over Pittsburgh and their coach Dave Wannstedt, a long-time friend of Schiano's who hired him while coaching Chicago. At season's end, Schiano and the Scarlet Knights accepted a bid to play in the Insight Bowl against Arizona State University, which Rutgers lost by a score of 45-40. Just prior to the game, Schiano was offered a new contract, extending his contract through the 2012 season. The 2005 season laid the foundation for a rebirth of the Rutgers football program.
In the 2006 season, Schiano's Scarlet Knights raced off to a 9-0 record, highlighted by their November 9 victory over the third-ranked, undefeated Louisville Cardinals. After this game, Rutgers jumped to seventh in the national AP Poll, which was their highest ranking in school history and first Top 25 ranking since 1976.[6] The euphoria from the win and high ranking quickly faded the following week with a loss to Cincinnati, but Scarlet Knights bounced back to finish 11-2 and qualify for the inaugural Texas Bowl.[7] There, they would defeat the Kansas State Wildcats 37–10, capturing their first ever bowl game win in school history.
Throughout the season, coach Schiano and Rutgers were featured prominently in both the local and national media, and Schiano's motivational phrase "keep choppin'" became part of the lexicon of college football. Rutgers finished the season ranked 12th in the national poll, their best finish in school history. For his work in the 2006 season, Coach Schiano was awarded several Coach of the Year honors, including the Home Depot Coach of the Year award and the inaugural Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award. In just two years at the helm, coach Schiano had unquestionably turned around the fortunes of Rutgers football and established the team as one of the top football programs in the country.[8]
With high expectations after their "Cinderella" season, Schiano coached Rutgers to respectable finishes and three more bowl game victories to give them four in a row. Schiano's team experienced tragedy in 2010, when defensive tackle Eric LeGrand suffered a spinal cord injury.[9] This clearly affected the team's play: when the extent of LeGrand's injury became apparent, it contributed to sending Rutgers into a funk that resulted in a six-game losing streak to end the season.
Schiano has been credited for his involvement in LeGrand's recovery, essentially treating LeGrand's family like his own and assisting the family in any way needed,[10] and being with LeGrand every day he was in the hospital.[11] Though LeGrand was initially given a diagnosis of lifetime paralysis, he has since regained movement in his arms and shoulders and sensation throughout his body.
In 2011, Rutgers rebounded from the previous season to post a 9-4 record and once again earn a bowl game berth. In the Pinstripe Bowl, they defeated Iowa State 27–13, which would be his final game as Rutgers coach. He led the team to winning seasons and bowl game berths in six of his final seven seasons, with wins in the final five bowl games.
Current NFL players who played under Schiano at Rutgers:
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu
Cincinnati Bengals long snapper/tight end Clark Harris
Cleveland Browns cornerback Jason McCourty
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Kenny Britt
Detroit Lions tight end Tim Wright
Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage
New England Patriots free safety Devin McCourty
New England Patriots cornerback Logan Ryan
New England Patriots linebacker Jonathan Freeny
New England Patriots safety Duron Harmon
San Francisco 49ers center Jeremy Zuttah
Free Agent long snapper Andrew DePaola

Listen, having ANY success at a shit hole like Rutgers is impressive. Plus, let's not pretend Ole Miss is a football powerhouse. They're on par with an Illinois. Relevant once a decade, and have only been relevant recently because they were cheating.

Yeah, I would expect them to aim a bit higher, but they probably can't.

Offense started very sluggish last night. I was getting a bit irritated, but then remembered that a lot of these guys are freshmen seeing their first ever game action. Barrett looked really nervous too. You could tell he knew there was a lot of pressure on him. Meanwhile, Indiana was playing with a metric fuckton of emotion trying to beat their former coach, our new O coordinator.
I didn't like how Indiana's line got away with some obvious holds, they didn't review one catch that was really questionable that led to an Indiana score, how our secondary full of freshman performed at the beginning, our dropped wide open throws including a TD, how the reviews went their way, etc.
However, with a freshman RB leading the charge that offense started to hum. Indiana's emotions could only take them so far, and eventually talent started dominating the game. Superior coaching did too as Indiana had no answers for the second half adjustments we made.
I think they said we hadn't opened on the road at a conference rival since 48 or something like that. Doing so against Indiana, a team that's traditionally given us fits, for a night game, and with one of the youngest teams in the NCAA was risky. I wouldn't have scheduled it that way, but I guess it preps us for a tough game next week at home against Oklahoma. If we win that, we should remain in the playoff talk and have an easy ride until Penn State and Michigan in November.

Texas A&M lose their QB and blow a 34 point lead.
FSU loses QB after getting embarrassed.
The hidden story here that nobody is talking about is that Bama's offense looked like shit. Yeah, they scored 24, but they were gifts. Francois looked terrible before he got hurt. I'm guessing he lost any chance of getting drafted.
Howard pulled off biggest upset ever.
