Coach Fran didn't, if I recall. Don't know if he's still coaching. Florida coach always struck me as not an athlete, could be wrong. ND coach is tiny and a former politician. I don't think he played.
Some of the answers could be with second generation coaches, too. Dad was a coach, kid wasn't an athlete at the highest level, so didn't play college ball.

Fran was a baseball guy. He's no longer coaching: Texas State 2015 was his last year. Mullen was a tight end in college. Brian Kelly played linebacker.

Mike Leach is one of them. There's another in the SEC as well.

One independent, and that's Freeze at Liberty.
Cut is right as well. There's another in the ACC...three left in P5.

Played for his dad at Notre Dame.
Apparently, I was mistaken.

Two from the SEC with Leach and Drinkwitz.
Two from the ACC with Cutcliffe and Diaz.
One independent with Freeze at Liberty.
Leaving five ... one more from a P5 conference,
There's another I can't believe some here have missed so far. His name was bantered about with a few job openings recently.
