You love your good guys and bad guys in all sports. It helps to keep the sport relevant and people watching.

So we often separate coaches into good guys and bad guys in our mind. Since that happens, let’s take it a step further.

What if college football coaches were Star Wars characters? This is a great question to ask.

After all, Star Wars is one of the greatest franchises ever, and college football is the greatest sport ever.

Many characters in Star Wars are mentors, similar to what coaches are supposed to be. Other Star Wars characters are flat-out comical. That’s also true of many of the coaches.

Without leaving out the most important characters or the biggest coaches, we have put together a list of coaches who would match perfectly with Star Wars counterparts. Any active coach who won a national championship or retired coach who has a national championship since the BCS Era began is on the list.

And there are also a few active coaches who don’t have a title on the list. But we came up with 20 coaches who would be relevant to this topic.

So let’s take a look at the Star Wars counterparts of 20 college football coaches. May the Force be With You.
