Doesn't change the fact of all those coaches from the state of Arkansas or those that coached at Arkansas.

The state of Ohio says hello.

quote:
The Cradle of Coaches is a nickname given to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio for producing star football coaches including Earl Blaik, Paul Brown, Woody Hayes, Bill Arnsparger, George Little, Weeb Ewbank, Sid Gillman, Ara Parseghian, Bo Schembechler, John Pont, Carmen Cozza, Bill Mallory, Jim Tressel, Joe Novak, Ron Zook, Dick Crum, Paul Dietzel, William Narduzzi, Randy Walker, John Harbaugh, Gary Moeller, Larry Smith, Dick Tomey, Sean Payton and Terry Hoeppner.
Recently the nickname has been applied to the entire state. Native-born Ohio or Ohio-linked coaches dominate the top football programs in the Southeastern Conference, including national championship coaches Les Miles at Louisiana State University, Urban Meyer at the University of Florida, and Kent State University alum Nick Saban at the University of Alabama.
National championship coach Bob Stoops from the University of Oklahoma is a native, and Pete Carroll from the University of Southern California was an Ohio State assistant. Bo Pelini of the University of Nebraska and Gary Pinkel of the University of Missouri are also native-Ohioans, and in 2008 the state had produced natives totalling 15% of the college head football coach ranks while only having 4% of the population, while 15 of the last 20 teams to play for the college football national championship had head coaches with Ohio connections.

On the surface Arkansas coaches look to hold more National titles pretty easily.

No. The state with the most great coaches is by far Ohio. Ohio is the birthplace of modern football. There is a reason the Hall of Fame is located there. While the level of player might have dropped a little lately. The level of coaching has not.
The NFL is loaded with Ohio natives, but lets look at just college. Both Woody Hayes and Bo Schembeclar are from Ohio. Urban Meyer, Bob Stoops, and Les Miles grew up in Ohio. Recent title-winner Jim Tressel, as are Nebraska's Bo Pelini and Missouri's Gary Pinkel. The list of coaches with Ohio ties includes Alabama's Nick Saban, who played at Kent State and coached at Toledo, and USC's Pete Carroll, who was an Ohio State assistant in 1979.
Less than 4% of the country's population lives in Ohio, but 15% of college football's major-conference head coaches were born there -- the most for any state. And this volume is more than matched by quality: 14 of the last 18 teams that have made it to the national title game have had head coaches with Ohio connections.
