"Obviously this is a very humbling honor, and I am certainly grateful to those who nominated me, those who voted for me and for Steve Hatchell and the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame for all they have done for our remarkable game of college football," said Snyder. "It is, however, not a one-person honor but one for a large collection of wonderful people who have had a major impact on our program and any successes that I may have had. Recognition such as this would not have been possible for me if it wasn't for my mother's and grandfather's guidance as a young boy, nor for my immediate family (wife Sharon, daughters Shannon, Meredith and Whitney and sons Sean and Ross) who have sacrificed so very much over the years. Sean has been instrumental in our successes as a player and a coach and as well the all-encompassing job of handling our operations. My daughter, Meredith, overcoming a tragedy in her life has given me constant inspiration, and of course the players, coaches and support staff I have been associated with over the years have been amazing, including my high school coaches and Norris Patterson and Hayden Fry.

"You just think of all the people who have invested so much," said Snyder in his opening statement. "My family, my wife, Sharon, and my children Sean, Shannon, Meredith, Ross and Whitney, they have been a tremendous inspiration to me, every one of them, and they sacrifice so much. When you think about those things, this isn't an individual honor, I don't think any of us receive it that way. So many people invested so much in giving me the opportunity just to progress over a period of time.

What am I missing here? They are completely different quotes.

Greatest Turnarounds in College Football History
1. LHC Bill Snyder, KSU
We got to get this guy!!!  :billdance:

Well besides the obvious reason, I'd like Bill to finish his career with less then 100 losses. It just looks and seems more prestigious IMO.

Which would be more impressive:  making it to 200 wins or finishing with under 100 losses?  Obviously I want both to happen, but reaching 200 would be a bigger deal IMO.

So he won't coach the bowl game?

I dunno what trim said but at the hall of fame thing LHCBS forgot how many kids he had. Pretty classic Bill.
