There have been 17 African American coaches in Division 1-A football. I don't think any have won national championships.
This is not including the recent hiring of the new University of Miami (FL) coach.

I don't know exact numbers and I don't think an african american coach has ever led a team to a Division 1 title. I expect that will change in the near future. I'm guessing that there have been african american coaches that have led their teams to national titles in the other NCAA divisions. Eddie Robinson at Grambling State University was, and remains, a coaching legend. His teams were dominant for many years and many Grambling players went on to play in the NFL. You might want to do a search for him and read up on him, I'm guessing you will find it very interesting.

There haven't been many in Division 1-A and none have won a national title as of yet.
