JJ Husker Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 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. The OP also listed Bear, Bowden, and Switzer as his choices so it is understandable people did not limit it to present tense. Limited to active coaches I would have to say Bob Stoops would be about as close as I can come but I'm not really feeling it. Respect is a very relative term that could be interpreted many different ways. Personally, it is not a term I throw around loosely when talking about college football coaches. For me, there's Tom & Bob and a few others, all time. Quote Link to comment

Hooked on Huskers Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Bill Snyder - greatest turnaround in the modern era. KSU was terrible every year before him. My thoughts exactly. And resurrection after Ron Prince era. Plus 73 years old !! Quote Link to comment
