Bo Schembechler ... other than the fact I am a homer

1. Winning %
2. Michigan had an undefeated season in 1973 (they were 10-0-1) and they were not allowed to go to a bowl game.
3. Longest career

Bill Snyder could be the best to ever coach college football. So this list begins and ends with him.

Gut Feel says maybe.
But that's why it's #6 on the criteria list.

Anyone who remembers Kansas State pre-Snyder can appreciate my statement. Imagine what this guy could have done at a real school.

I went with Frank Beamer. He won a lot of games and put VT on the map.

Before Beamer, VT had a total of 6 bowl appearances in their history. 4 years after Beamer's arrival, VT made a bowl game every single year he was the coach, more than 20 bowl appearances.

He is also one of the few coaches who has over 200 wins in his career, with 238 of them.

Synder isn't a bad choice, but there is something to be said about maintaining success for a longer period of time IMO.

Resources has a lot to do with it also. Snyder has done more with less than anyone.

I lived in Manhattan during the 90's and I have a soft spot for him, but I feel like K-State had some good successful years and Beamer built a program that seems to have sustainability. Created a culture and things that just don't really exist at K-State.

I was just as likely to meet a Nebraska fan as I was a K-State fan, excluding students of course.

Both are good coaches, I guess it's just what you put more stock into.

Also, the few years he was "retired", look what happened to the program. It was so bad, either they asked him to come back or he told them he would come back "if" they wanted him. You can see the success they have had when he came back. Great coach and is definitely deserving of being in the top 1% of head coaches!

Anyone voting for John Cooper should be shot.

One of very few players from McNeese football that made it.
