Where's Chip on that list?
I don't have the patience to click through. -
He's not. He should be on it. Greatest 4 year run of any coach never to win a natty.dnc said:Where's Chip on that list?

I think Bo at 1 or 2 is about right. The Ten Year war with Woody got a couple natties for tOSU. Bo had a well documented Rose Bowl problem and usually lost a little one every year too
Of course Bo's first Rose Bowl win was against the DAWGS -

What's wrong with Snyder at 1? No power conference program was ever as bad as Kansas State, with resources worse than all other similar schools, and he made them good.YellowSnow said:- Pete at #19 seems a little low; I could see him around 10ish

Snyder did an amazing job but he never struck me as a guy who could move to LSU and win a title.whlinder said:

He was uniquely built to maximize his skill set at K State. Like Pete at Boise. -
His was a great coach and Top 10. Never really was in Natty contention. He barely beat Neu in the Holiday Bowl.whlinder said:

They choked their best chance to win the natty and that might have been 99 when they won the holiday bowl. I was thereYellowSnow said:

Didn't they lose the Big 12 title game as an unbeaten? -
Why yes it was
He had a nice run. His second time around wasn't as good

@RaceBannon we need some story time with Uncle Race. Why couldn't Terry Donahue win a Natty? Don James is Terry Donahue + 1991.
