I asked google AI this question and the breakdown is hilarious.
The provided search results do not explicitly state the number of obese coaches who have won college football championships. However, they discuss the topic of overweight and obese coaches in football, including some who have won championships.
Specifically, the results mention Mark Mangino, the former head coach of Kansas, as being "absolutely huge" and potentially "the biggest coach in the history of football". He won the Orange Bowl in 2008. While not explicitly stated as having won a national championship, his success with a significant physique is notable.
Other coaches mentioned as being overweight or obese include Mike Holmgren and Mike McCarthy, both of whom have won Super Bowls but were not college coaches at that time. The query focuses on college football championships, so these examples are not directly relevant to the user's specific request.
The available information does not provide a definitive count of championship-winning college coaches who meet the criteria for obesity.
