Would Chris Peterson make the list?
I don't think so. Hawkins had that program going before he left for Colorado. I think a bit similar to Saban/Miles
I think the list is very good. For me, probably Schnellenberger and Synder top the list. Miami and K-State were horrible football programs until they came along. HS at least at a great talent pool in Miami that apparently no one else recruited until he came along. What Synder has done in the middle of nowhere Kansas is remarkable

How about Johnny Majors (Pitt) and Phil Fulmer (Tenn)

Pete Carrol was huge, they were coming off the Hackett disaster and probation era of Tollner and Robinson. Tucked between those eras were okay but not great.
Hayden Frye at Iowa. Iowa was a garbage program who became relevant and competed for Rose Bowls.
Bobby Bowden obviously
Howard Schnellenburger at Louisville and Miami
Snyder
Glen Mason at KU they were god awful and he got them to top 10. He would've never left if Roy would have been a team player.
Gary Barnett Northwestern went from laughing stock to Rose bowls also they still compete he changed the culture.

BUT LSU and USC have huge TV deals and big winning traditions to help them.
But keeping it going at a place that doesn't get SEC money is very difficult.
Peterson belongs there.
That's why Patterson belongs there.
I just remember, after 1998, after a brief oasis after 15 years of futility, Tulane lost its coach and the moronic pres decided to hire the brother of a donor and not hire Rich Rod
After 1999, TCU enjoying a brief relief from years of futility, lost its coach to Alabama, and hired its DC. GAry Patterson. Maybe Francione deserves the credit, but Patterson took them to a new level.
