Not too mention guys like Keitzman completely going nuts for the guy before he even coached a game. He then came in...won some games that surprised some people....so there was a moment of maybe these guys were right about him.And then...The meltdown. The coaching staff departures, the running off of any QB's that would/could pressure GoldenBoy, the whispers of coaching colleagues treatment, the losses, the stomp, the arrests, the really bad loss to really bad Nebraska team. Its everything. Its the complete dismantling of one of the most amazing coaching jobs done in any sport in my lifetime in a matter of 3 years. Its remarkable. Its a trainwreck.fyi, the coach that did that amazing coaching job was the one who dismantled it (in 2 years), Ron's picking up the pieces. Say what you will about how he's going about picking up those pieces, but Snyder freaking derailed the train.Interesting bit of tap dancing by your fanbase on this one. Being able to cherish and glorify the "DoD" all the while trashing the old man for derailing the train. It must be difficult to separate the two. Props to those able to do it.Not as much Snyder's fault as it was his assistants. He needed to fire several and get new ones, but didn't. His main fault was loyalty to his crappy assistants.In that regard, we aren't trashing Snyder so much as the staff overall. Recruiting had become kind of an afterthought.

Why do ku fans have such disdain for prince? is it the texas wins? or Freeman?
Guys, beating Texas at home happens less than Orange Bowl victories. We've beaten them there twice. I think we should get trophies for that.
Only one trophy matters.
