Coach Snyder is a developmental coach. K-State has pretty much had 2 types of seasons under him, developmental years and years where he's had pretty much established teams. With the turnover on defense and at QB I'm not surprised this year is more of a developmental year. And really, this year isn't any better/worse than 01, 04, 05, 09, and 10. Its ugly and not fun, but it is what it is.
This staff doesn't forget how to coach, this is just how they coach (with Snyder in charge). We'll have to see if this developmental year (or years) leads to future success next year or the year after.
