My top 5 are:
1) Paul Brown (won a championship for Ohio State, 3 NFL championships with Cleveland, also credited with HS national championships) - coaching tree includes NFL hall of famers Webb Ewbank and Bill Walsh)
2) Nick Saban (fundamentally bent the trajectory of college football. Developed (in conjunction with Bill Belichick) pattern match defense which is. perhaps the single most important defensive innovation of the past 30 years. Coaching tree is extensive).
3) Joe Gibbs (3 championships with 3 different QB's is an unbelievable accomplishment which will probably never be duplicated).
4) Bill Belichick (6 championships as HC, 2 as coordinator. Greatest defensive mind the game has ever known. For 40 years he loomed over the sport)
5) Vince Lombardi (only a head coach for 10 seasons but 5 NFL championships and 2 superbowls during that time. Amongst the most iconic names in american sports)
