Non-sexy program builders

Kansas HC Leipold
Duke HC Elko
Tulane HC Fritz
Arizona HC Fisch
Washington HC DeBoer
Mizzou HC Drinkwitz
Louisville HC Brohm
Liberty HC Chadwell
NC State HC Doeren
Oregon State HC Smith
Toledo HC Candle
James Madison HC Cignetti
SMU HC Lashlee
Any more?
None of the ones listed above are splash hires but all have proven the ability to work the portal (masterfully in my opinion) and build a program rather quickly in a time of uncertainty and change for the sport.
Fritz took the longest to build out his program but has it rolling now. When was the last time Tulane had consistent success like this?
These should be the guys that the AD for 8&4 should be looking at according to his initial press report the night of the firing of Jimbo.
Just a fun little thread for the program builders.

Program builders dont necessarily translate to a big time program that doesnt need to be built

Those are just prominent/well known names who haven’t been successful consistently. Nothing about them screams assured success

Program builders stay more than 2 years. 
Elko was gifted some significant developing players and had a mature team when he took over from Cutciff.
The rebuild was already in place for Duke the previous 2 years and Elko took all the credit.
He's a good coach, but people need to cool it with the "he's a program builder".

Cignetti has done a great job at JMU, but he didn't build that program. They were already winning when he got there. The previous coach won an FCS championship and multiple conference championships.
He did turn around IUP and Elon.

NMSU HC Jerry Kill
NMSU one of worst programs for a while
2022 (bowl win first year)
2023 (8-game winning streak; CUSA CG berth)
not to mention the job he did at SIU & NIU prior

Jerry Kill has to be one of the best out there. He'll never get the recognition he deserves but he's done it at two of the worst jobs in cfb

I don't get why MS State keeps going to the first time HC hires. There are coaches they could grab from G5 and small P5s that have experience.

Chris Klieman should be on the list also I think. He has done a pretty good job at K State after making the jump from ND St.

It’s quite a stretch to say these dudes built their respective programs

Jerry kill/new Mexico State

Jeff Brohm is a coach who just goes about his business and gets it done. Never dreamed Louisville would have won 10 games and be playing in the ACC Championship in year one

Buyer beware. Sunbelt Billy would have been on this list before Florida hired him.

I think Brent Key at Georgia Tech will prove to be one in the next couple of years. Used the transfer portal to bring in King from A&M who immediately turned into one of the top 3-4 QBs in the ACC and has 2 more years to play. Missed bowl games the last 4 years and Key finished his first season at 6-6 with a couple of ranked wins. Got a lot of momentum built up going into the bowl and offseason.
