Horizontally challenged head coaches (Pics SFW but beware of man boobs)

Has there ever been a successful, obese NCAA FBS/D-1A football head coach?

Mark Mangino took Kansas to an Orange Bowl and a final No. 7 ranking one year, but he ended with a final 50-48 record, with a dismal 23-41 record in the Big 12 and 4 losing seasons out of 8 seasons total (including bowl game losses).



Charlie Weiss ended his career at 41-49 after stints at Notre Dame and Kansas. He took Notre Dame to only one 10 win season and actually had a losing season there. His career ended, literally and figuratively, at Kansas.



Bret Bielema was fired at Arkansas for going 29-34 over 5 seasons (11-29 in the SEC) and never winning more than 8 games while producing 2 losing seasons. His prior stop at Wisconsin yielded 3 consecutive Rose Bowl trips before departing for Arkansas. There’s a good argument that Arkansas ruined Bret in the coaching and waistline departments. Rumors are swirling that he will eventually replace Les Miles at Kansas.



Are these indicators of how fat coaches pan out? Is Arkansas headed down the path to further football irrelevance with Sam Pittman? Is it coincidence that ArKANSAS hired Sam Pittman? Should Arkansas have used BMI in its hiring criteria? Can one program handle two tubby coaches in short order? Will Sam Pittman eventually end up at Kansas? These are very important questions that need answering.
