Sean Snyder - CBS Sports

[MakeItRain]

Calling him Sean will rile up the tucks, ya know.

no it won't.

You forget how much people hated our basketball coach being called "Frank?"

[sonofdaxjones]

Do people still not think this will happen?

Do you think Gene Taylor is his own man?  (not a rhetorical question)

Gene Taylor is a pushover

I feel like the Tuck Army would fall on the side of "there was only one 'Coach Snyder'" side of things, but I've been wrong many times before, and be wrong many times in the future, and this very well maybe one of those things.

I wouldn't love it if Sean took over, but I feel better about the possibility than I used to.

[OK_Cat]

If he had an identical hc career as Ron Prince, he wouldn't get fired as quickly because he's Bill's son.

2 Questions: First, who keeps perpetuating this rumor that Sean will take over and second, WHY do they keep doing it???

1. LHC Bill Snyder

2. He wants Sean to have a good job when he retires.

Bill priming the pump.

So say Sean sucks on the equivalent of Weber to basketball. Does Gene keep him around because he's, "Bills son."

Our fans would love Sean if he can obtain the same level of success Weber has with basketball. That would be a Big 12 championship in 2018 and bowl games about every other year or so.

You're basing this on??????.

 Taylor has done really nothing to warrant any sort of label at K-State thus far.  Really the only major thing Taylor has done so far is rightfully granting a transfer request from Sutton before that situation continued to fester, amd i can only assume insisting Bill issue a public apology to Sutton for a moment of senility, which i can also assume Bill didn't enjoy having to do.

Not a huge decision, but a slight sign at least to me that Taylor isnt just a dude just here to keep the office lights on.

I am only in favor of Sean if he's good.  If he sucks, I am against it.

Well put

I highly doubt it. I disagree that our fan base would tolerate Texas Tech like results, where we're just hoping for bowl games each year.

The tucks (i.e. the vast majority of the fanbase) absolutely would.

[Rage Against the McKee]

If the coach were Sean, we would.

[PurpleOil]

But why would they? It scares me a little because part of me thinks you're right, but there's no rational behind it. For the last two and a half decades we've come to expect that we go to a bowl game every season and be consistently in the hunt for a conference title. When Snyder had issues and missed in 04 and 05, there was a lot of talk from fans that he was past his prime and needed to leave. When the disaster that was Ron Prince showed us that he wasn't going to consistently make bowl games, he was shown the door. Why would we suddenly abandon that mentality and simply ride the mediocrity train just because of a coach's last name?

[SdK]

I think Sean has to be given a chance and a short leash. RPesque. If he does well, great. If not, we can rip the Snyder band aid off and move on.

Suddenly?

as long as the next coach is white and from "the family" the tucks will be fine with him as long as he out preforms Ron Prince, and if anyone says anything bad they'll say "at least he isn't Prince".

It would highly depend on what assistants he would hire/retain.  If he got some young studs as assistants, then ok.
