Steffy, your problem is that you think LHC LHC Bill Snyder is uniquely good. It is a horror to you, but there are a number of better college football coaches out there right now that Bill. College football coaches that can get the high talent kids AND get them to play fundamental football. LHC LHC Bill Snyder won't prepare a player better for a successful NFL career than a whole bunch of other coaches out there. In fact if you are QB, history has shown Bill can't prepare you for the NFL.
Interesting perspective, bro. But you are in the minority in this perspective, at least outside of this board (probably even for people that read this board; I suspect that the vocal people who hate Snyder are just a vocal minority). Snyder just won more big 12 games in the last four years than Stoops, Briles, Gundy, or Patterson (last three years w regard to Patterson). This was a rebuilding year, and then the injuries happened, and hell we still could be 5-2. I'm frustrated too. But, I don't think that this staff forgot how to coach in the last 8 months. If we have another sub-par year next year, it will be time to question. But not yet. Rational people understand this. This board doesn't simply because it does not like Snyder's methods.
I will make this observation (and a minor concession to this board): I think this current staff could use a fire-breather. Snyder is not that, by any stretch of the imagination. In the 90's, Snyder's personality was balanced with the personality of people like Venebles, Stoops, Mangino. We don't have that now. Last week I watched our team and there was very little emotion, even when we were coming back and playing well in the second half. Most of the coaches have a personality like Snyder's. It is the same reason this board doesn't like the coaching staff. Removing like/dislike from the equation, I do think this staff would be more
effective if it had a little more of an edge to it.
That said, this staff has been very effective, albeit very bland and vanilla. I would have more respect if people just came out and said they didn't like Snyder's personality and brand of football rather than making stupid arguments about him not being effective in winning games.
