re: Bobby Bowden started head coaching in 1959. From 1959-2020 where does he rank all time.

All true.
If you want to put Osborne on the list, you should have Switzer ahead of him. Switzer owned Osborne.
And if you want to put Bowden high up on the list for building a program out of nothing, Bill Snyder should be right behind him. No NC's but built a strong program and imagine recruiting to Manhattan, KS.

You say Osborne didn’t have model citizens, but Switzer did? Look into how many academic all Americans Osborne coached. They had some juiced guys, but testing caught up before his teams really took off. The partial qualifier deal stopping really hurt their recruiting, but there are likely less qualified guys that got into any other college, even today.

Switzer owned Osborne but Osborne's most dominant years were post-Switzer.
Some OU fans would argue that that is only because Switzer was no longer there but either way those years happened.
