I mean logically, does it make sense?
He is 66. He left a job where he was paid handsomely in money, perks and worship. He stated that he wanted to spend more time with his family. The stadium is named after him and his family. He is fawned over by everyone across the state whenever he hawks another of his dreadful books.
How long could he reasonably/comfortably coach? 5 years? 10 years? Why would he? What would motivate him?
If we are to believe that he was/is anything close to honest with us, then he would have us believe that he wanted to spend more time with his family. His wife, I assume, would be none too pleased with this decision. K-State started an Equestrian program for his daughter for chrissakes. He has to hang around!
I agree that it would be fun to see Snyder make a comeback. I agree that it would be a joy to see him on Sundays doing x's and o's with some NFL offense.
But it really doesn't make any &^@@ing sense.......At all.
So really. Just file this under "Nick Van Exel to Asst. Coach Cats!"
That is all.

I'm going to keep posting this:
It makes sense if it isn't a rebuilding job.

Actually, it doesn't really make sense at all.
Did you read any of my tremendous, painstaking analysis??

Why would he? What would motivate him?
Love of the job. Older highly successful people are usually very driven and can't stand to simply stop and retire. I'd actually be surprised if he doesn't coach again somewhere.
-
Ok, it makes a little sense if he goes to a place like Iowa. It makes no sense if he goes to a place like Michigan State.
What AZCat said. Successful old people have a really tough time hanging it up. I'm half-suprised Snyder hasn't had a heart attack yet.

His name is on the stadium!

Why hasn't Norm Stewart resurfaced?
Lavell Edwards?
Red Auerbach?
John Wooden?
-
Norm: no one wanted
Lavell: no one wanted
Red: stayed in a competitive role (GM->Pres) until he died (Saturday :frown:).
Wooden: He knew he couldn't win without cheating.

Red Auerbach? = Dead you a-hole!
By the way, the exams were handed out today. She called your name and you were nowhere to be found. WTF...
-
Does anyone really think that people just all of the sudden, out of nowhere discover about themselves that they are ready to retire and then are extremely emotional about their decision?
-
Why does everyone beleive that the reason he quit would have been one big lie if he goes back. Are people not allowed to miss something? It's not about proving anything to anyone... It's about a 66 year old man that has spent the last 30 years of his life working 18 hour days doing one and one thing alone. Coaching football. He went from that.... To doing nothing. He's freik'n bored; and he's second guessing his decision to retire. If he wants to coach somewhere else... fine. He's not a traitor, he doesn't hate KSU, he just couldn't quit cold turkey. Not many people can leave something they love that much and quit cold turkey. Give the man a break.
Further more... this topic is getting annoying. Who cares. What he did for us was spectacular and nothing he does in the future can change that.

Damn! I left after the quiz.

$50 bets to whoever thinks he is coming back for a team other than K-State.

I know, I know. I'm just trying to come out now and show that I knew all along this was bunk.
-
Actually, taking the cue from Huggins, Snyder has put together "Purple" and "White" coaching staffs between himself and Prince. They will each coach alternating years, then "retire" and recruit full time for a year, and be "rehired" in alternating fashion.
-

I think the reasons he gave for wanting to retire were a big lie. I'll think this regardless of whether or not he returns to coaching.
-
i really hope he doesn't go to msu. what a boring school to follow.

The whole Big 10 is boring. He loves the west coast....UCLA?
-
Kietzman is nuts. If he comes back to coaching it will be at a bare minimum as a Head Coach of a BCS school.
-
Snyder would be a great fit at Manhattan High.
-
Some interesting items just dropped via WIBW. Apparently Snyder is asking a number of current college assistants if they would accompany him if he did take a job somewhere.
-
If he steals any of our assistants we'll need a new name for the stadium.
-
There is no way this happens.
Zero.
I'm way out in front on this one guys.

Job already open:
North Carolina
Michigan State
Jobs that could come open:
Miami (98% probability on that)
Iowa State
NC State
Minnesota
Mississippi State
Arizona State
Tulsa
Navy
Pitt (Wannstedt reportedly looking at NFL jobs)

The man took the worst job in America when everyone was saying he was an f'ing idiot for doing so and that it would absolutely ruin his coaching career; I wouldn't put it past him to take another job.

I'd just like to go on record as having started this rumor, thank you very much

What are you disputing? That Snyder would take calls? That Snyder would seriously entertain offers? That Snyder would ever decide to actually coach again? Can you realistically accept the first or the second of these propositions yet reject the third?

^^^ If that happens, I'm moving to Manhattan

Why is the simplest explanation not be the correct one. The status quo is this:
Snyder is 67 years old. He is retired. He told us he retired to spend time with his kids. He has his name on our stadium. He had a job when he retired.
None of these major facts lead me to believe that he will seek another job. It is speculation to even come to the conclusion that he was "forced out" which is really the basis for any other theories.
Only time will tell, but I think it is just kooky to buy into some grandiose theory about Snyder leaving for another program to coach for what, 5 more years? To prove what? Even if he has the motivation, he has to realize that starting over again (even at a Miami) is going to take a 5 year commit on his part. What program would want a 67 yr. old coach?
There are alot of questions, I think you should answer them in support of your theory, I'm betting on the status quo.
-
KK,
You're forgetting that he's a coach and that equates into "once a coach always a coach". If he thinks he can do it and wants to do it neither age or his kids will keep him from it. Its a lot like an athlete that plays way past his time. Coaches are no different but I do think Snyder could still be very success coaching... just not at K-State.
-

What are we explaining? Are we explaining why Snyder, when asked, suggested that a return to coaching is a possibility? If so, then the simplest explanation is that he suggested it because it's the truth.
Snyder is 67 years old. He is retired. He told us he retired to spend time with his kids. He has his name on our stadium. He had a job when he retired. None of these major facts lead me to believe that he will seek another job.
I think you mean to say that all of those major facts lead you to believe that he will not seek another job. In any case, I am of the belief that Snyder was aware of all of this when he suggested that a return to coaching was possible. And if he doesn't now perceive any of them to be immediate obstacles, they probably won't be issues for him down the road either.
It is speculation to even come to the conclusion that he was "forced out" which is really the basis for any other theories.
We'll just assume for the sake of argument that he has merely had a change of heart. Problem solved.

There doesn't necessarily need to be a grandiose theory (see above and below). I doubt Snyder's reasons for coaching ever included proving something. As with the other items above, I believe he was aware that he would not be coaching for an extended period of time when he suggested that a return was a possibility. I imagine that at least one of the programs that has contacted Snyder wants a 67 year old coach.
There are alot of questions, I think you should answer them in support of your theory, I'm betting on the status quo.
My theory is merely that Snyder will seriously consider offers. Given the assumption that when a coach says he might be interested, he is actually seriously interested, it seems that Snyder will be seriously considering offers. Instances supporting this assumption are common place...status quo, if you like. Once you accept the proposition that Snyder will seriously consider offers, you're really not very far at all from also acknowledging that there is a decent possibility that he will coach again. This conflicts with your claim.

Snyder said there is a possibility he would come back?

I don't think he's going to coach again.
