Snyder Retirement Coaching Search Master Thread

[millertime]

 

Bill isn't retiring this year so none of this even matters.

But what if he does?

That's what I thought.

I like cf3's story

I do too, but it doesn't factor into my thoughts on why he should or shouldn't be the next coach at K-State. I think a lot of football coaches would behave like he did around kids' baseball.

That said, I don't know why any decent coordinator or high level assistant would want to work for Sean. I mean, he's been a football ops guy most of his "coaching" life and handled punters and kickers. His dad finally let him "take over" special teams the last few years, but I simply don't think he's qualified at all to be a head coach at a Power 5 school. If at some point during his career he had left and become a real assistant or coordinator with some success maybe he'd be a consideration, but he never has done anything like that.

This is the point i'd have trouble getting over... no matter how gifted a coach Sean is, the resume only says "ST Coordinator"  No OC/DC whose worked their ass up crawling through the ranks is going to work for a guy who got to cut in line because of his dad.

College football community is pretty tightly knitted, his title isn't going to demand disrespect.

so, just changed my mind and i'm on the fence here. i want either a super sexy hot piece of ass like venzy/frost who will recruit so many studs, or a huge nerd ball that creates crazy offensive schemes and doesn't give a eff about stealing teams signals, like malzahn (obs not gonna be malzahn, but you get it). there's no in between, and sean is so far in between it's not even funny.

If you want an assistant coach to be hired as our head coach then you better hope Currie leaves before he hires a football coach. He is 5 for 5 in hiring coaches that were head coaches before they came here.

The mens basketball coach came from Illinois, the womens basketball coach came from TCU, the cross country coach came from North Dakota State, the mens golf coach came from Memphis, and the tennis coach came from McNeese State. Despite this, next season when we do all of this again people will continue to speculate on assistant coaches.

Let's not pretend that women's hoops, men's golf and tennis are barometers for who a head football coach would be. All those hires do is show me that we're no longer doing hobby sports on the cheap.

Already shared this in the Ron Prince Stories thread but....

When RP was the coach Sean Snyder was some associate athletic director AND the "Its late at night and I mumped up who do I call to sweep it under the rug guy". His number was given to players and they were told to call him anytime if they were in a "situation".


Pretty good experience to have as a head coach IMO.

No...he is a good guy to have in the athletic department. Sean by all means has earned a spot in the administrative staff, athletic department or even as a ST coach for as long as he wants it and doesn't eff up, but he is nowhere close to being deserving of the HC spot.

Question: Is hiring Sean k-stateo?

I always considered case K-Stateo to be more of an aesthetics thing

[stunted]

I want Sean more after that story.

I know you struggle with logic and you love to argue, but you can't possibly be stupid enough to think he's going to hire an assistant coach with his most important hire when he refuses to do so even for golf and tennis.

[MakeItRain]

Oh.   So who are some guys with such experience?

Have you not seen the carousel this year? Pretty much the entire FBS is in play with about 15 or so exceptions in addition to a couple of assistants like Muschamp, who absolutely be a head coach again and it will be soon. Navy coach won't be there for the rest of his career.

Why don't you guys think Sean would be a good hire?  He has been here for awhile and always has our specials teams at the top of the conference.

[CNS]

Robert has been around a while.   Maybe he could coach D?

[CNS]

Recruiting pitch, "my dad is retired LHC Bill Snyder".

mods are really slacking with their yard dog label makers tonight

I don't know why you think this deserves a facepalm.  He knows the system and has shown he can coach his kids to a high level.  I'm sure Bill has shown him how to recruit the juco ranks and develop players that come in. I just think it wouldn't be a bad hire.

This young up and comer just took his team to the brink of an African Championship. And he has Texas ties!
