This is a list of college football coaches with 30 seasons.[1][2] Individuals on the list have served as head coach of a college football program for 30 or more seasons to be included on the list.
"College level" is defined as a four-year college or university program in either the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics or the National Collegiate Athletic Association. If the team competed at a time before the official organization of either of the two groups but is generally accepted as a "college football program" it would also be included.[a]
Coaches expected to be active in the (fall) 2021 season are in bold. Current through the end of the 2020–21 college football season.
