People talk a lot about whether or not Snyds is an all-time coach, but if he can get to 200, he will be one of 11 coaches to win at least 200 games at a current BCS level or major conference school. That's pretty rough ridin' cool.
The only other guys to do it?

Bear Bryant 323-85 at Mary., UK, ATM, Bama. 15 conf titles, 6 Nat. Titles. 29 Bowls.

Can he do it? I dunno. You wish he got a Natty, at least once. Still, he would be one of the greats.
LaVelle Edwards deserves consideration. Dude went 257-101 at BYU. Won 1 conf title and a Natty, but was indepandent his whole carrer at BYU.
Pretty select company.
