Florida State. What better coach to learn from then the all-time leader in wins in major college football? FSU always seems to have a very solid defense with several players each year that get drafted into the NFL. Bowden can also teach more than football, he could probably teach you some things about life as well.

Texas Tech's Mike Leach didn't play college football and didn't intend to be a college football coach. He got a law degree at BYU and became a practicing lawyer. One day he just woke up and decided he wanted to coach football so he quit his job and went to the United States Sports Academy in Delphine, Alabama.
Other famous graduates include: Past Academy graduates include Iowa State University Head Basketball Coach Greg McDermott; Dennis Lindsey of the Houston Rockets; Texas Christian Head Women’s Basketball Coach Jeff Mittie; University of Texas Associate Athletics Director Lynn Wheeler and Nashville Predators Director of Hockey Operations Michael Santos.

School isn't going to matter for coaching. What matters is your ability to lead, and your knowledge of the game. You can sit side-by-side with the greatest coaches of all times, and not be anything to any team. Great coaches have the ability to pull the best out of their players, and can get their players to do ANYTHING of them. Respect is a huge part of it.
My advice to you would be looking into psych, sociology, and management for your "skills". Another thing might be to do some sports medicine, and try to get on doing that for the college football team where you attend. All of this is going to help you out a lot.
You ultimately have to look at you - are you a leader? Can you get others to work together for the same goal? Find and read all of the coaching books you can, and take something from each, but don't take all from all of them. Different things work for different people. You might have the strength of being approachable, and putting people at ease with you, but you might have the challenge of getting your point across to others. Assess your skills and find out what you need to work on, and then do that. You will never make a challenge a strength, but you can make it less of a challenge if you work on it enough.
Good luck!! Hope this makes sense to you!!

Your best bet would be going to a school that would let you be a student assistant. Any experience is better than going to a school with a good coach but no chance to be a part of the team.

I say Bobby Bowden, He has been at FSU for almost 30 years if not longer, and he has countless head coachs who have been under him who are excellent. Tommy Bowden, Marc Richt, Rich Rod of WV, Chuck Amato. etc Not to mention he as put countless players in the NFL give ol bobby a try

It won't matter for an undergrad. The interaction you can have then is minimal unless you work in the equipment room or training room. You need to get a Bachelors first then apply for Graduate Assistant programs at various schools. Unless you played college football, those can be difficult to get at a bigger school.

It really doesn't matter to much were you go to school just as long as you graduate with and know what your doing, It's not going to happen just because you have your B.A, with coaching you're usually going to have to start at the bottom and work your way up the ranks, unless you know someone that can pull some strings for you.
