Which opposing coach(s) do you have the most respect for? For me its 'Bear' Bryant, Joe Paterno and to a lesser degree Bobby Bowden and Barry Switzer.

Bill Snyder and even though Frank Solich has never opposed us, he is with another program, but I respect the things he did with us and with Ohio. Two very good coaches. Jimmy Johnson was pretty darn good too. I respect Luke Fickell for not punching Bo when Bo kissed him on the neck .

Seriously though it would have to be Paul 'Bear' Bryant and Bobby Bowden.

JoePa would've made the list for me a few years ago but not since he has clung on too long and definitely not after the recent discoveries. And I respect Barry Switzer as a formidable opposing coach but I don't really feel "respect" for him.

 
The OP said opposing coaches. I read that as present tense. Those still coaching today, Bill Snyder would have to be at the top. With a year or two exception in there, he does the most with the least of any coach coaching today. Bob Stoops took over an underperforming OU team and almost overnight made them winners. Even though June Jones isn't at Hawaii anymore, he is still coaching which is why he made my list. The year before he took over at Hawaii, they lost every game. June Jones put Hawaii football on the map.
