I agree with poet.
I think it is a shame that people that claim to be KSU fans are slamming Bill at this point in time.
Look, his last 2 seasons were bad. This is due to two things, both of which no longer apply (in theory).
1) He WOULD NOT fire assistants. He was so proud of the fact that he never fired anyone in 17 years that he wanted to maintain that as opposed to starting over. I find some fault in Bill, but it is a fault you can respect (or at least you should).
2) He probably was a little burnt out, which was probably added to by point #1.
When you have crapty assistants, you have people that are coming back after looking at a Josh Freeman game and telling Snyder that he isn't good enough.
The only way I'll frown on the hire is if he re-staffs with the same staff he had, or large portions of it. If he brings back a couple few guys, that's ok, but if it is a return en masse, then there could be trouble ahead.
