I was surprised how open and honest he was
Don't believe Snyder has ever turned down a raise, wouldn't that be the thing to do if he truely felt overpaid? Doesn't that conflict with his "values"? Snyder may think these things, but he knows he saved the University through football, and i'm pretty sure he takes great joy in that.
Weh weh weh. What a crybaby. Teach your little Mildcats some defense and you might could enjoy the game a little more. Has nothing to do with money, just being tough.
Oh man. The comments are off to a great start. I'm not even sure what this one means, but I like it:QuoteWeh weh weh. What a crybaby. Teach your little Mildcats some defense and you might could enjoy the game a little more. Has nothing to do with money, just being tough.
Also, when was the last time you came across the use of "might could"? It's been awhile for me.
What a load of crap from Snyder.
The same guy who under the previous regime wanted lump sum payments set up in such a way so as to possibly avoid taxes.
If he really feels like he's overpaid, than decline the $2.75 million a year new contract (which made him the 2nd highest paid state employee behind Bill Self), ask for significantly less money, and insist that money not used for his salary be used to pay assistant coaches and/or plowed back into facilities and technology for the football program.
What a self serving load of tripe.
Sad
Snyder once again showing why he's BITB
dax, he was cranky today. And old.
Old people rarely ever say, "Man, things are so much better now than they were when I was younger."
No being BITB means never apologizing for the money you make, or stating that you're overpaid.

No. BITB means he gets to lie his ass off to reporters and troll all you hayseeds. He walks away from that interview looking squeeky clean but once he gets back to the office he's gonna slip some hundreds into a envelope and hand it to #life and then go make about 20 impermissible phone calls.
dax shut up
if you think bill asked for a raise you're wrong. it's more about athletic departments staying competitive, and the last thing a coach wants to do in his industry is turn down a raise.
I agree with his thoughts. Conference realignment is ruining college athletics.
I'm fine with giving coaches coming off of conference titles extensions.
I don't care if Bill has stacks of bills in his Tatarrax house that he uses in place of firewood, what he does with his well earned money is his business. I also really don't care if he says curmudgeony old man things once in a while. The only thing we really care about is if he repeats 04/05 and if he doesn't I'll leave him alone.

That's not really the point. We all know Snyder, but 18 year old recruits don't, and don't say they can just talk their way out of it, because some kids and parents can't nor will ever "get it" or really understand our great, but strange football coach.

If Snyder and his staff recruited like most other football programs, then I'd buy that, but they don't. This (recruiting) is by far the worst part about how Snyder does things, and since he lost the core of his first great staff, this has always been the case. I think he's trying to do things differently than he did that led to 04/05, but we have yet to see if what he's doing is better. Regardless, I still think we recruit different and even dumb things he says aren't going to make much difference. And contract or not, other programs are going to continue to use his age in recruiting against us. IMO what he did was an isolated interview and nothing more, if he was doing this on a regular basis, then it would be a legit concern.
Again, you're speaking about this from the perspective of a long time K-State fan, and a "that's just Bill" mindset.
Well, I think he speaks the truth for one. College Coaches make too much money along with professional athletes. I mean these people barely even contribute to society. What do they contribute, good football teams, basketball teams, etc.? The only way they contribute to society is if they donate their money or spend all of it and help boost economy.

This is silly. We are still going to play football games. We are still going to play basketball games. Who cares if we do so against Colorado or not?
All conf realignment is doing is making sure that there is as much TV as possible and that there is as much money as possible. They aren't changing the game, just some of the teams we play. Honestly, who cares as long as you aren't one of the weird schools that has to travel 2000 miles to play half your opponents?
The constant bullshit anxiety is what is causing the issues. What I am saying is that it is bullshit because it ultimately doesn't matter unless you are Weird Robert and go to every away game.
I mean, if you still like watching MU play fb, they are still a short drive away.

I guess I'm at a loss for what perspective you want me to come from. Its not like Bill is going to change drastically and hoping he's going to change much at this point seems pretty pointless. I just hope he doesn't have a 04/05 repeat.

Why make it harder, articles like that make it harder IMO.
good grief, even I don't give a crap about what Bill says.
@KellisRobinett: LHC Bill Snyder on cold April weather: "I am thinking about Al Gore. I hope he is broke by now. Global Warming isn’t all it’s made out to be." :bill:

:sdeek:
it's like he suddenly has no fucks to giveI know. He's even more boss now that he's senile.
:nono:it's like he suddenly has no fucks to giveI know. He's even more boss now that he's senile.
It's like Bill forgot it was 115 deg F in MHK last summer.
We need to invite Al Gore to give a Landon Lecture so that Bill could show up and shame him in person.
might as well figure tate's scholly into his salary.
