When I think of blue bloods I think about prolonged success over decades and with more than just 1 head coach.
UK, Kansas and UNC in basketball
Alabama, Norte Dame in football
You can't have 20 blue bloods either. Blue bloods should be the elite of he elite.
Take Belfry  for example amazing program with the GOAT at coach but no one else has had sustained success at Belfry.

Trinity, Highlands, Beechwood, St X and Mayfield to me are those that come to mind.

I would consider Boyle, Danville, Cov Cath and Male as the next tier as these programs have had success with more than 1 coach just not to the level as the true blue bloods.

So, just count the total number of titles.  

But looking at your last sentence made me think about some things.  Beechwood has, I believe, 17 titles.  I'm think 3 coaches won those with Yeagle being the winner of most of them I think.  Their title span is from 1984 to present.

Danville has won 11 under 4 coaches.  They won in '62 under the old 3 class system.  Fielded outstanding teams that fell short in the next 20 years.  Then began their modern run under Duffy in '84.  

The Ads won AAA (unbeaten) in 1984.  3 Class A titles in '00, '01, '03.  The rest were AA titles. 

Winning in 3 different classes is a pretty sound feat whereas Beechwood and Mayfield have never won above Class AA.  

I think that qualifies them as Blue Blood material for longevity, productivity, and competition adaptability.

Beechwood titles
Noel Rash has won 8, 5 in 1A and 3 in 2A
Mike Yeagle won 8
Bernie Barre won 1

I was thinking about Beechwood’s run a while back and was wondering what the opinion is about comparing the Rash era teams to the Yeagle teams.  Rash has done what is generally considered very difficult to impossible and that was picking up after a legendary predecessor and matching his success.

I played against Yeagle coached teams and have watched several Rash coached teams and here are my thoughts on both.  The Yeagle teams seemed to have bigger more power oriented teams than the Rash teams.  This makes sense though because the 90’s and early 2000’s was more of a smash mouth style of football whereas the present era is more speed oriented. Both coaches were able to adapt their systems to the style that was common in their era thus achieving successful outcomes.  Both coaches also have very fundamentally sound teams that execute well on the little things.  It will be interesting to see how the next boss in Ft Mitchell carries the torch when the Rash era comes to an end.

When Rash retires I can’t wait to see who the Tigers get as their coach. From what I heard before Rash got the job there were coaches from Fla to Cal who applied for the job.

Can anyone tell me which programs have had at least 3 different coaches win a championship?

Beechwood has! Bernie Barre won the 1st one. Mike Yeagle and Noel Rash each have 8.

As far as whose resume is more impressive between Yeagle and Rash I would give the slight edge to Yeagle simply because he won when there was only 4 classes. When Yeagle was dominant look at some of the programs in 1a. Harrisburg with the Johnson's and Craig Yeast, Bardstown had some good teams, Middlesboro was awesome in the late 90s,of course Mayfield, Pikeville, NCC just to name a few. 1a, like all classes were when we only had 4, was a murderers row. The classes today just don't stack up. Not taking anything from Rash he could coach my team anytime.

I played for Coach Yeagle. That man could make a grown man cry with his pregame speeches. From what I heard Rash is a very fiery coach as well. Both have of those men have taken the Tigers to new levels.

Who did you play for and what years were you there?
