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

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

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.

23 years to go until he is coaching at 100

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.

Without Snyder, there is no history or tradition for KSU football. No footprint whatsoever.

He is my GOAT
Use to love using K State on CFB game back in the day.
Their school colors are kind of unique for Power conferences as well.

With bill Snyder.. solid overachieving program that competes for conference titles
Without bill Snyder.. worst power 5 program in history
His willingness to adapt and use surrogates to innovate with the talent he has is a remarkable accomplishment.

He's top 10 for me as well. Nothing but respect for every phase of his tenure at KSU.

I read this stat yesterday about Snyder

@BruceFeldmanCFB
Bill Snyder has now won at least 9 games in a season 14 times. #KState has never won more than 8 in its other 80 seasons of football.

Who knows?
But his best team ever...He said it himself...Lost their bowl game to 9-4 Purdue. And they wanted to play for the Natty. I was heartbroken in the loss to TAMU, loving their story.
But the Big12 had imploded, people forget how bad Oklahoma was under Blake.
The turnaround was amazing. But the program never took the next step.
He did solidify his rep by returning to K-State and turning them around.
But it would have been nice not to lose to a team that lost to USC, Notre Dame, Wisky and Penn State during his magical season.
He never got to that next echolan.

Look at Snyder's coaching tree. Pretty impressive.
Posted on 12/30/16 at 8:22 am to Sevendust912
Kansas State's 80 years without Snyder-248 wins
Kansas State's 25 years with Snyder-202 wins
Kansas State's 25 years with Snyder-202 wins

The most telling stat is when he took a few years off and kstate immediately went to crap. Then he came back and they were decent again. Kinda like when coach k missed a season at duke.
Would have loved to see what Snyder could do with good talent.
