Bill Snyder has twice now turned around a lousy Kansas State team and made it a national contender. Kansas State! This is how Wiki describes KSU before he got there in 1989:
When Snyder was hired at K-State for the first time on November 24, 1988, he took over a program that had a cumulative record of 299–510 (.370) in 93 years of play, which was easily the most losses of any team in Division I-A at the time. The school had been to only one bowl game (the 1982 Independence Bowl), had not won a conference title since 1934 and had enjoyed four winning seasons in the previous 44 years (including two in the previous 34 years). The program had also not won a game since October 1986, going 0-26-1 in that time.
Prior to Snyder's first season in 1989, Sports Illustrated published an article about Kansas State football entitled "Futility U," which labeled the school "America's most hapless team."
So I'm not going to argue with where they put him, as long as it is after Saban.
This quote about Urban Meyer made me gag:
While initially viewed as a spread-offense guru, he is now renowned for his unique ability to charm and connect with both recruits and players, something that's produced consistent success.
I think Gary Patterson may be a bit overrated. He's a small-school media darling who just went 7-6 in his first year playing in the Big12.
Cant believe Briles and Petrino made the list, ahead of Spurrier and Strong.
