Does Bill Deserve 200 Wins?

[steve dave]

Well, it would make me feel good too

[steve dave]

Why would you not care? It's an impactful sounding number that almost nobody has gotten to and we will certainly not get anyone to again. What's the downside?

[steve dave]

Whether you like it or not people use rounded off numbers as measurements of success. 3000 hits and any other example of baseball numbers are revered.

Why does he deserve 200 wins? He's already in the hall, a legend among experts/peers and football hum dumbs, and his name is on the God damn stadium for eternity. I say he's got what he deserves. 200 wins adds absolutely nothing.

then why are you starting threads about it?

I'm honestly asking what the reasons are other than people think he wants it and would make him feel good.

That's stupid

[kso_FAN]

Bill absolutely cares and has an ego like any other human, but I also believe his humility in the matter is sincere.

Again, none of us would be posting on this freaking board if it wasn't for LHC Bill Snyder, I really want and hope that he gets to 200 wins. I still think he will do it this season.

[steve dave]

He wants 200 and has no humility about it. I wouldn't either. He shouldn't.

When Bill's accomplishments are listed, 200+ wins will be last, if mentioned at all.

I am having a hard time with the fact that people want him out so badly that they would wish we didn't get another couple of wins this year.  I am old, and I watched games before Snyder got here.  That doesn't mean I think he shouldn't be held accountable for the way the team performs. But to think he doesn't deserve two more wins seems petty and pretty ridiculous to me.

Exactly. I'm frustrated with the losses and the team, but people need to be careful. We are far from a terrible football team; we see those in Lawrence and Ames. I mean, by being "not bad" we aren't good enough, and people should want more, but this is far from a team (or coaching staff) that is hate-able to me.

[slackcat]

Bill deserves it if he earns it.  Ain't earning it IMO

[Bloodfart]

I kinda hate these coaches.

[EMAWican]

What makes any of us think that he's going to get to 200 this year? I hope he does, but is it worth another mediocre year next year?

Yeah people rarely mention coaches' records when talking about them

Today was probably the most difficult opponent left on our schedule. I won't be surprised with 2 more regular season wins, but if our only other win is KU, we probably win our bowl game.

Also, I don't think 200 necessarily dictates whether he will be back next year.

[Trim]

He deserves whatever he ends up with.

[MadCat]

He's already in the HOF.

[nicname]

He doesn't deserve it. I hope he gets it tho. I think he will. It will be this season.

[MakeItRain]

He doesn't deserve it. I hope he gets it tho. I think he will. It will be this season.

He stayed here when he could have left for much greener pastures two decades ago. Of course he deserves 200 wins, he deserves more. You are a bunch of ungrateful heathens.

[Trim]

It's not really up to us.  Someone could @ this to Baylor.

this will be an Aflac trivia question when another coach is approaching his 200th win.. duh

This.

Even I agree with this 100%. He's earned the right to stay as long as he wants.

Why do you think we will win our bowl game?

I could agree with this, if he was actually being the HC while staying.  The letting his already shitty staff continue to get shitter, have more control, and lazier in recruiting isn't him being the HC.  He's a figure head screwing over his successor.

[kso_FAN]

I have actually been encouraged by recruiting the last few years.
