List of current NCAA Division I FCS football coaches

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 9 min

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Championship Subdivision (I FCS) includes 128 teams. Each team has one head coach.[1] As of the upcoming 2023 season, Division I FCS is composed of 13 conferences: the Big Sky Conference, the Big South–OVC Football Association, CAA Football, Ivy League, Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC), Northeast Conference (NEC), Patriot League, Pioneer Football League, Southern Conference (Southern, or SoCon), Southland Conference, Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), and United Athletic Conference (UAC).

The two newest conferences—officially considered by the NCAA to be alliances between all-sports conferences instead of conferences in their own right—are the Big South–OVC and UAC, both of which start play in 2023. The former combines most of the football membership of the Big South Conference and Ohio Valley Conference. The latter is a merger of the preexisting football leagues of the ASUN Conference and Western Athletic Conference, replacing a football alliance between the two conferences. Due to an NCAA moratorium on the establishment of new single-sport conferences, that organization denied a request by the UAC to be considered as an official conference.

In the 2024 season, all schools except Merrimack and Sacred Heart are members of one of these conferences. Both Merrimack and Sacred Heart moved from the football-sponsoring Northeast Conference to the non-football-sponsoring Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in 2024, leaving their football programs to compete as independents.

As of the start of the 2024 season, the longest-tenured coach in Division I FCS is Kevin Callahan of Monmouth, who has been head coach at Monmouth since being hired to start the program in 1992, coach his first games in the fall of 1993. In all, 28 FCS programs will have new head coaches in 2024.

Records are updated as of 11pm, 11/21/2024.

Conference affiliations are current for the 2024 season. One future FCS team has hired its head coach; that team is indicated with a light blue background.
