Frank Leahy - Leahy, a tackle on Knute Rockne's last three Notre Dame teams, produced four national championship teams (1943, '46, '47, '49), six undefeated seasons and an unbeaten streak of 39 games in the late 1940s. Known for his stoic nature, he appeared on the cover of Time during a spectacular career that ended in 1954, when he resigned for health reasons.

Ara Parseghian - During 11 seasons under Parseghian, the Irish never won fewer than seven games, and twice - in 1966 and 1973 - they went unbeaten en route to national championships. In one of the most-hyped games in college football history, Notre Dame and Michigan State met Nov. 19, 1966, to settle the national championship. After rallying to tie the score 10-10, Parseghian elected to settle for a tie.

Dan Devine - Soft-spoken and lacking a fiery personality, he never seemed comfortable in South Bend but still won the 1977 national championship.

Lou Holtz - Holtz, famous for his folksy humor, led the team to the 1988 national championship, winning all 11 regular-season games and beating third-ranked West Virginia 34-21 in the Fiesta Bowl.
