Gonna pick a name from slightly before my youth, and one who got his gig around the time I graduated college.
Bob Devaney
Bill Snyder
Obviously Bear Bryant belongs up there, maybe even the best.
But Devaney took a team that had been down for a decade or more (and was just decent to pretty good at best in the past), and turned them into a blueblood.
Bill Snyder took Kansas State, a team who had never accomplished much, and was in as deep a hole as can be imagined when he took the job. And has has them winning conference titles or at least being relevant the whole time he's been there. All in a recruiting position that makes Mississippi State look like it is in the catbird seat.
