There are 2 sets of brothers* who are head coaches for NCAA Division I FBS football teams. We'll see one set this season.

Bobby Petrino - Louisville
Paul Petrino - Idaho Vandals

The other set is Bob Stoops and Mark Stoops, and we'll face off against Mark when we play at Kentucky. Would be interesting if we somehow ended up playing Oklahoma in a bowl game.

*This is taken from a cursory review of Wikipedia's list of college head coaches, so if someone brings a mistake to my attention I'll edit my post.

I remember the Flying Pelini Brothers were both HCs back in '13 when we faced Carl's FAU team, right before his resignation.

Which of course gives me an excuse to post one of LSUFreek's classics:



ETA: I was thinking we played both Mack and Watson Brown-coached teams in the same season in '87, when we played UNC and Vandy, but Dick Crum was still the HC at Chapel Hill (Mack was at Tulane that year). We played the Heels again in '88 in Mack's first season, but the Dores had rotated off our schedule again.
