prince would have been more successful had he kept his assistants. but he didn't, so he failed.

still was a better hire than getting a coach who was recently fired from wake forest or something.

Even with the benefit of hindsight I have absolutely zero issues with the hiring of Ron Prince, and I'm glad we gave it a shot.

My biggest issue was that we could have hired an assistant coach with a bigger name, like Venables. I liked the high risk aspect of it, though, and Prince actually worked out better than I thought he would.

I agree that a higher-profile assistant would have been nice, but I hope we do more high-risk/high-reward hires in the future. I mean it's not like he ruined the program, and he was about as wacky as they come.

Ditto. Now, the extension left a bit to be desired.

I think Bill has 3 years left in him. About that time Illinois will be firing Tim Beck, so I will go with Tim Beck.

I was thinking earlier how awesome it would have been if Prince was actually a good coach when I realized he would probably make an AMAZING ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. #RONPRINCE4KSUAD

That dude could market.

Yes. #life > Cam. Therefore, Gus will do much great things than win an NC with Hesiman winner #life.

Bill can coach from the grave for all I care. Seriously, he is even better this time around and has earned the right to do whatever the eff he wants.

While still a control freak, he has finally let his assistants do their jobs (call plays). He still gets to oversee every detail before/after games, but I'm glad he is letting go a little bit.

I mean, is he not the most ridiculously calm Snyder we have ever seen on the sidelines this year? Sometimes I almost wonder if he has just lost it and gone JoePa on us. Then, I see him coaching up Klein, Harper, Thompson, and Lockett on the sidelines. You can tell he knows all the real work has been done before the game and now he can sit back and reap the benefits.

Man, I hope we go to the NC game this year. He has certainly earned it.

Question: Do the players give him a gatorade shower if we win the BIG XII? If we in the NC?

This thread really isn't about how much of a boss Bill is.

It's about how Gus Malzahn would be the optimal replacement whenever that time comes.

Hopefully Arkansas is turned off by the crazy wife.

There is no optimal replacement unless his last name is Saban, Spurrier, or Miles.

Side note: Anybody who is glad we gave Prince a 'shot' is flat out Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). Seriously, Apple didn't find their next CEO by scouting burger flippers at the local Wendys. Prince was a piece of crap. Why everyone loved his staff is beyond me. They didn't do crap either.

I see where some think hiring the young black coach is 'edgy' and a potential high risk/reward hire, but you've got to look at the man's record for substance prior to falling in love with his rhetoric.

His color had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Also, Ron says you're welcome for recruiting Klein.

Guys, if you're not rooting for Dimel to get the job, then I pretty much fundamentally disagree with how you perceive the source of K-State football's success.

Zing! I prefer to say thanks to Snyder for grooming him into the QB he is today.
