Yeah-how long did it take him to win a North title and a Big 12 championship?
I seriously doubt Snyder would have near the success today if he took a bottom of the barrell program at Kansas State and tried to turn it around in the Big 12. When he got in, nobody else was recruiting the JUCO players he had in his backyard. He spent the first 7 years in the Big 8 where Oklahoma fell off the wagon in 1991. His teams were hardly ever competitive against Osborne's teams. TO just smoked Snyder every time they ever matched up.
Ah, by Bill Snyder's 2nd season, NU needed to knock away a pass in the endzone to beat KSU in Lincoln, in 1993, Chad May lit up NU for a Big 8 passing record and NU needed a stupid play call by KSU on NU's goal line, and a late hit call to beat KSU in Lincoln. Dr. Tom knew he had little time left, so he turned up the steroid tap, and started bringing in the thugs with speed, and he finally got that long sought after National Title after nearly
25 years on the job and after inheriting a program just two years off of a National Title.
When Doctor Tommy took over, Barry Switzer treated him like the gimp in the basement, and as I said, Dr. Tommy took over a very established, recent National Title winner. Bill Snyder took over the worst program in college football.
God I love Cornhole revisionism.
Oh, and it's not like CU sucked when Snyder took over at KSU, and by Snyder's 4th season, KSU tied CU in Manhattan, and took them to the wire the following year in Boulder.
