Last guy? Gary Patterson?
Kelly, can’t think of his first name... not the asshole from Notre Dame. Now at UCLA.
Chip. My previous guess of Kelly was the asshole from Notre Dame. I guess, unlike "the Pirate", I wasn't clear enough on that one.

Mac Brown, Kirk Firentz, Nick Saban, and Dabo Swinny have already been answered.
Brian Kelly?
Kirby Smart (probably not a long enough tenure)?
Mike Gundy?

Patterson retired from TCU last season (but he almost certainly had 30+ wins against top-25 teams, probably at least 10 were against overrated Texas teams).
Chip Kelly coached Oregon for four seasons and UCLA for four. Chipster’s career record is 64-32, so it would be surprising if almost half his wins came against top-25 teams, especially in the PAC-12.
The arsehole in Notre Dame (Brian Kelly) who is now the a-hole at LSU was 92-39 at Notre Dame, but vacated the 2012 and 2013 seasons, so I don’t know if those count. He also was 34-6 at Cincinnati, and I’m sure at least a couple were against ranked teams. So… maybe?

David Shaw has 14 wins over top 25. However his record is 14-4 the best % of all active coaches
So says a bleacher report story

Check the date of that article (if it’s the one I think; we may have run the same google search). As I recall it was published in 2014.
