i think being groomed to be the head coach by a hall of famer is going to teach him more ceo skills than most coordinators.

since he was kind of the head coach he did at least a mediocre job the last few years. if he can keep all of the things bill did well and improve on the other things, he would be great. a younger bill. plus he would stay forever.

Good Christ, in the last page or two we've had a "pass the mustard" and a "dig in their hills", but somehow we're worried about Sean's poor grammar.

Sorry, crappy first post I know.  I was a long-time Scout user and before that a Rivals user... The new Scout-247-GoPowerCat message board just isn't working.  I am a K-State graduate, multiple generation K-Stater, economist by day and K-State follower by night.

I think it is important for K-Staters to realize this is a difficult decision, with no clear, easy answers.  What tends to happen is that people think their perspective is 100% right (Sean sucks, I trust Bill, etc), without appreciating there are two sides to every coin.  And then people dig in their hills and start posting nasty stuff directly to Sean’s twitter account.  That doesn’t help at all.


This is very true and well said... I do hope that we can critically think about the issue, and I hope that those who have to make the decision are willing to think for themselves, ask the difficult questions and legitimately search the field of qualified candidates.  What worries me are folks who view LHC Bill Snyder as incapable of making a bad or 'blind spot' decision; therefore, since Bill says Sean is the best then no one needs to apply any thought into the equation.  I do agree that the nasty things posted to Sean's account are on the other extreme of too critical and down right mean.

Those are not cases of nepotism, though.

It must be easier in basketball when fathers can pass down bought off AAU coaches to their sons.  Those AAU relationships are fantastic investments.

can somebody please confirm whether Sean played highschool football?  Per his wiki bio, "Snyder earned first-team all-area and second-team all-district honors as a punter and kicker at Greenville High School in Greenville, Texas. He also played baseball."

if this information is inaccurate, Wikipedia needs to know.  and our fans deserve to know.

Bill and his first wife (and I assume Sean's mom) divorced in 1979, I'm assuming Sean stayed in Texas with her when Snyder moved on to Iowa which was at the same time.

Life of Sean

A heartfelt story of a boy who watched his father leave him and his mother to chase his dreams of being a division 1 football coach.  Tune in as we watch this boy struggle through his teens to join his father at the collegiate level as a player first, and then as a coach by his side...constantly seeking his father's approval.

LOSER: KANSAS STATE
LHC Bill Snyder still appears to be clinging to the dream of passing the program on to his son. This has gone from selfish to sad to toxic, as the entire administration at Kansas State is ready for a change. But Snyder, 78, is still living in nepotism fantasyland that his son, Sean, is qualified to take over. That’s hurt the program, which is 20-16 the last three seasons and lacks an identity nationally outside of mediocrity and uncertainty. Every year Snyder stays and tries to bully the handoff to his son further tarnishes his legacy. This is the anti-Frank Beamer succession. (For example: With offensive coordinator Dana Dimel gone to take the UTEP job, what qualified offensive coordinator would want to work under these conditions?) It will be interesting to see if Kansas State administrators have the collective guts to engage with Snyder about his departure after Kansas State’s bowl game on Dec. 26. Snyder has had a great run, as his accomplishments can’t be overstated. But he’s completely unaware of how bad this whole situation looks or simply doesn’t seem to care.

Jesus... I know we're all goEMAW-ing here, but the fact that scenario is even plausible when you spend half a second thinking about it...

i'm wavering on my stance of #NeverSean Bill has worn me down. I know he's coming back next year, but i'm to the point where i'd be willing to accept Sean as our coach.

I still strongly prefer we hire a coach outside of the program.
