Youngest Active FBS Head Coaches - Updated 7/13/23
/Updated: 7/13/23 After pulling together my Coaching Info spreadsheet this spring/summer, and with new coaches after hired after my last update (12/22), this list has changed quite a bit. One thing I noticed was that there are two former UIW head coaches on this list (G. J. Kinne and Eric Morris). I also want to add that Kris McCullough, the head coach at Texas-Permian Basin (Div. II), is the youngest head coach in NCAA football (age 28), while Chase Paramore (Waldorf University - NAIA) is the youngest head coach (26) in all of college football.
