I enjoyed the vast majority of LHOFCBS's tenure at K-State. Lot of good times. I'm not a tuck, but I found it strange how angry, and frankly cruel, a lot of cat fans were during the last year or so of Snyder's tenure, as well as during the coaching search. Made little sense to me. Guy held on a year or two too long. Not unheard of for competitive people like coach. I don't think someone who coached for 27 years should be judged on the performance of just a few of those, anymore than a new coach should be judged based on the performance of 3 games.
You're not going to get anywhere talking to the most ardent, angry anti-Snyderites. They are at best hypocrites but in most cases they are weirdo conspiracy theorists with real short memories. He deserved to go, no doubt, but the people who take it farther than that deserve to be laughed at. I'll straight up
@ people on this too. Although aside from two exceptions the regular posters on this site aren't the vocal weirdos, I think for the most part everyone on here just wanted him gone because he wasn't a good football coach anymore.
Dax is a weirdo, who gives a flying eff if his only motivation was to get Sean the job. Completely ignoring the fact that it's a completely stupid talking point, the guy literally risked his well being to continue coaching while he was driving to KC twice a week for cancer treatments. If he wanted Sean to be the head coach he would have quit in August of '17. Sisco was coming back, everyone thought that was going to be a 9 win team. He wanted Sean to coach, but he wanted it when he was done, he clearly didn't think he was done.
@scottwildcat calls Snyder all kinds of bad names because now that he has talked to a couple of players he's been enlightened to some of the crap Snyder has done to players. He rough ridin' did crap like that the whole time he was here. Was there anything worse than what he did to Ell? He literally shortened Collin Klein's life right in front of our eyes and people like SC fistpumped right along. People getting in their feelings about held bowl rings more than the players did.
LHC Bill Snyder spent thirty years being an unctuous, surly, single minded, control freak who won a crap ton of football games at great expense to him and the people around him. That's what he felt was needed to be successful and he was right. We were all complicit because we all fed into the machine and when outsiders asked questions, we got offended, shut them out. The guy lost some games late in his career and some people have the nerve to get offended at the behavior he exhibits, that he did for years without impunity, to build all of this crap.
Whining about him being mean and cashing in on all he did for the program is really rough ridin' rich.
