IMO he's in the top 10. In no particular order in recent memory:
Snyder
Paterno
Bryant
Bowden
Saban
Meyer
Carroll
Switzer

He's #1 to me.

He's for sure legend status

In terms of accomplishments, he's barely top 50. Snyder took over a terrible program and made them into a respectable one so he deserves credit for that. However he only has two conference titles, never finished in the top 5, won a major bowl game only once, etc... Plus it's not like Kansas State didn't have any resources to work with like say an Iowa State. The state of Kansas has one of the best JUCO football systems in the country and Snyder was able to use that pipeline to his full advantage to build the K-State program.

In the 11 year span between 93 and 2003, he had SIX 11 win seasons... At fricking Kansas State

While I tend to fall more in line with the above, it just amazes me that whenever he's not coaching K State they are full of the suck, he swoopes back in to save the program again, and low and behold, they become a decent program again. His second tenure to me has been pretty impressive.

I think he's very good. He has every 10 win season in school history. He's won 66% of his games there and if you take out his seasons as coach K State has a winning percentage of 33%. He is the program.
ETA: I think some people under estimate how hard it is to win in Kansas. Outside of Bill Snyder, no one has ever had sustained success at K State or Kansas.

he didn't take over a bad program, he took over the worst program in NCAA History.
Guy does it with 2 star kids
He develops kids, and gets them to over achieve.
As a program builder, one of best ever. Top10 coach as well.

Most underrated coach in all of sports. Kansas St. was historically the worst college football program in America when he took over. If they would have had the college playoffs in the late 90's-2000 he would have gone to the playoffs 6 or 7 times. He recruits 2 star kids and competes at the highest level at Kansas St.

23 years to go until he is coaching at 100 
Posted on 12/29/16 at 9:13 am to Sevendust912
If we are ranking by doing it the right way, he's top 3 for sure.

He's an excellent coach, but his lack of a national championship and low number of conference titles preclude him from being considered an all-time great.

What could've been if that 1998 KSU team didn't gag a 27-12 lead in the Big 12 title game against A&M.

Tough place to win, no doubt about that. But the all time greats take programs that have never won anything and still win championships.

So Bill McCartney is an all time great and Bill Snyder isn't?

Not what I said. I'd have Synder behind guys like Spurrier, Bowden, and Paterno. Guys who built the program AND reached the pinnacle of their profession.
