Sean Snyder - CBS Sports

[kso_FAN]

Do you guys not remember how terrible the last two years of Prince were despite the fact that he had an NFL caliber quarterback? Putting any rationale out there that he was fired for any other reason than completely sucking is ridiculous.

[LickNeckey]

his staff abandoning him played a role as well

[OK_Cat]

It would highly depend on what assistants he would hire/retain.  If he got some young studs as assistants, then ok.

Spoiler alert: he won't.

I think he was fired for sucking, what i'm saying as long as the "Tucks" like and consider the next person part of "The Family" and the team preforms better than Prince they'll be fine with it. The line will be as long as we have someone who's going to bowl games 2 out of 3 years "well there isn't another LHC Bill Snyder out there, and do we really want to end up like we did with Prince"

That's fair.

I would be curious how long our fans would take Paul Rhoads levels of success at K-State. I could see a similar career arc for Sean; inheriting a solid program with a few years of okay results that gradually becomes less than mediocre.

it would be the exact same sides you see in the oscar Weber debate, the Weber haters would be burning it down, the people who like oscar would be fine with Sean no matter what.

FWIW a pretty solid source told me that the leader in the AD clubhouse might not be Sean. PM for deets if you want

There isn't anyone on this staff that i would be happy to have as the HC

[DKmode500]

I'm sure may hate the idea but if Craig Bohl has another solid year at Wyoming i think he a legit choice.

Tucks don't need bowl games nearly as much as they need to beat ku. They would take actual Paul Rhodes if he wins their state for them every year.

[manpow5]

I could behind Sean if he just had some experience somewhere other than KState. I understand he's been trained by a hall of famer, but I just want to see the product he can produce somewhere other than under his dad

I dunno, tucks live bowl games. It's their one opportunity to get out of the state of KS

[slackcat]

I'm glad to see many here coming to terms with Sean taking over when Bill retires. At that point he will become Coach Snyder and the legend will become our beloved Bill. The roles will reverse and where Sean was Bill's right hand man Bill will become Sean's trusted advisor and confidant. What could be better? Sean has been very successful in all of his roles and has been extremely loyal to both his father and K-State. To not give him this opportunity would be a slap and to not take Bill's recommendation would be disrespectful and contrary to the family approach which has become so very real here. No matter who we hire the task of replacing a legend will be daunting and expecting anyone to replicate our hall of fame coach is unrealistic. But I give Sean the best chance of continuing the culture which has been built here. To not take this course would be wasting a golden opportunity to prolong the Snyder reign.

Tuck if there ever is one.

Jesus rough riding christ... what a rough riding loser. This sentence says it all right here,

expecting anyone to replicate our hall of fame coach is unrealistic.

Translation 1: I'm okay with our program declining and the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been invested into the infrastructure of our athletics going to waste because I don't actually believe our program is any better than the KU's, BC's, or Vanderbilt's across the country.

Translation 2: I'm okay with losing.


God damn these people need knocked upside the head.

[SdK]

I am totes going to preemptively lose my mind over that quote.

[star seed 7]

Yeah, what a weird thing to freak out about

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think it is very likely our next coach is worse than LHC Bill Snyder. We should easily be able to win 7-8 games every year, though, and we should at some point fire our coach for that performance and try to do better.

[sonofdaxjones]

The past 4 seasons we've averaged 4 losses a year.  Why is  8-4 going to be hard to duplicate?

[wetwillie]

Name one coach in the history of kstate football that isn't named Snyder that has averaged 8 a year

[yoga-like_abana]

hes  been here like 100 years

Agreed, if Sean wanted the HC job (and I don't think he does), he needed to go somewhere and be a defensive or offensive coordinator for a while.

[Rage Against the McKee]

It won't. Getting the occasional team that wins 10-11 will be harder to duplicate, and Bill had a run where he did that 6 out of 7 years.

It is ridiculous to compare pre-Snyder K-state fanbase, facilities, and support to post-Snyder.  Not saying it will be super easy to average 8 a year, but that the past results are hardly relevant.
