They named K-State's stadium after him.He's definitely a legend. Gotta wonder why he never moved to a bigger name program.
He gets the most out of his players that's for sure. Let's hope our staff can learn to do the same. So far not impressed.Hes a very good coach, he doesnt always recruit the best guys, he recruits the right ones for what they do. Coaching 101.
I can haz cheezeberger?They already are. Fortunately the ones I know know how bad they are outside on Snyder
Bill Snyder is probably the best coach in college football to have never won a championship. He gets more out of his guys than anyone else and knows how to win. KSU was the worst football team in D1 before he got there. Most coaches have trouble with one rebuilding job, he has now done it twice. Ron Prince burned it to the ground and it only took 3 years to bring them back. I don't like Synder but I certainly do respect what he has done there. It is also hard to root against Klein, the kid is so tough and plays so hard.
:yeahthat:There is no magic to what Snyder does. He is just better at it than anyone else. His teams play solid, old-fashioned disciplined football. By that I mean that they block and tackle as well as anyone in the country. If you can say that, you can win football games with average talent. Nothing fancy. Just blocking, tackling and playing until the whistle blows. Funny how that works everywhere it is emphasized consistently.

I would only add "and don't make mistakes." How many times have the coaches of opposing, better talented teams essentially said "listen, if we don't make mistakes, we win this game." The problem, of course, is that highly talented players are used to being able to use their talent to overcome their mistakes - a Snyder coached team won't allow that: as soon as you make a mistake, they are in the perfect position to take advantage of it.
It does help that you can major in "bakery science" though; which I'm sure leaves the players a lot of extra time to focus on their playbooks...

I've never been to teh state of Kansas, but KSU is one of my favorite teams because of this philolophy.

No championship = no championship. Loser.
Probably would have won the Fiesta Bowl too if Ell Roberson wasn't an idiot.BP: K-State won the B-12 Championship in 2003. I would argue that counts.

You know I respect your opinion, but I don't give much weight to anyone who won the big 12 in the early 2000s. Including barnetts efforts.
What's that got to do with it?Oklahoma won a national championship in 2000 and the big 12.

Pookie, you just dissed about a thousand men who have played the game. How much skin have you left on the football field? Still waiting for a post from you to convince me you aren't gay other than 'I'm gonna ****ing kill you'. Punk Pookie.
