“Coach just taught us all the difference is in the details,” says Louisiana Tech athletic director oscar Van De Velde, who was Snyder’s director for football from 1992-97. “You have to tend to the details every single day.”

Van De Velde knows that all too well. When Nebraska and Kansas State played in the Coca-Cola Classic in Tokyo during the 1992 season, the two teams flew together on the same airplane and sat on separate sides.

Before the trip, Snyder asked Van De Velde to research which side of the plane would get the most sun so his team could sit on the other side to get better sleep.

“That’s the kind of detail that Coach would look into,” Van De Velde says.

Lotta great anecdotes in this story.
