Snyder stayed on his vessel and conquered his seas.
Leach built three different pirate ships and looted a lot more booty, swinging his sword.

I respect Baylor and A&M for beating both of Snyder’s best teams

Can’t argue. Just wish we had 5-6 years of more.
People will come, Ray. Oh people will come.

Look Leach was an amazing coach and innovator for this sport, and did amazing things at 3 shitty schools. He would have made MSU a terror RIP , and its a shame non of the big leagues gave him his shot in his prime
That said its Snyder and its not even close. Beyond what other posters have mentioned, Snyder won a good amount of big time games. He took out OU and Texas multiple times in prime Stoops/Brown years. And he did it with spare parts from a fricking cave.
Texas fans called him the purple wizard, and it took *years* of Snyder not being the coach to live down the PTSD we had from late november games in Manhattan in ways that Leach simply did not invoke.
Synder was probably the closest we've seen to a second Saban, he just decided to stay at Kansas fricking State and coach in hard mode to make it possible for everyone else to even compete.
Here's the Synder Coaching tree , do you see who's under here ? Bob Stoops and Mike Leach

Snyder would fail today.
His players would be picked off every year after he developed them.
But the answer to your question is Snyder. He is the greatest program builder of all time. He did it twice at perhaps the hardest place in the country to do it.

Three letters.
NIL.
Not that Snyder would have liked the concept.

No coach ever worked more miracles than Bill Snyder. There should be a moive or some shite.

Snyder was the junior college king and made a career out of getting first-year JUCOS ready to play, so imagine what he could have done in the portal era.
In other words, I respectfully disagree.

This is the part that makes him one of the best ever.
He retires, watches his successor frick up everything he built in just 3 years, so he gets out of the recliner at age 70 and builds it all back up again. Wins the conference title in year 4 of the second stint.
The man was one of the best ever..
Chris Ault in Nevada can lay claim to that as well. He turned bottom feeder Nevada into a very good team with his innovative "Air Wolf" offense and retired to be AD. Things turned to complete crap on the football field.
So, naturally, Ault comes back and revolutionizes football (at all levels) by inventing the Pistol offense and rebuilds Nevada a second time.
