Joe Paterno,  Bobby Bowden are ones that come to mind. Some younger coaches making themselves into legends Pete Carroll, Mack Brown, Bob Stoops. Jim Tressle, and Lloyd Carr. For this question I just stated active coaches, coaches retired or not living Eddie Robinson, Jim Johnson, Barry Switzer, Darrell Royal, and of course Bear Bryant

Go Gators!!! I'm biased. I have to respect the Lady Vols, though. Pat Summitt has more wins than ANY college basketball coach--men's or women's. She passed Dean Smith during the tournament last year.

The only player I can think of is Brian Cook, who actually asked for his college number, #34, after Shaq left, but was turned down, so he settled for #43.\n\ndouble_g, Karl Malone's number when he was with the Lakers was 11 (which, I believe, was also his number when he played for the USA Men's Olympic Basketball team), not 43.
