LHC Bill Snyder is a terrible coach

[OregonSmock]

KU's offense has some good players (particularly the freshmen).  They're 11th in the country in rushing offense.

It will pay off.  Just be patient.

Not sure if Gill will be around for his recruiting to pay off.  How many 70 pt days will the KU AD put up with?  Having a quality football program is more important now than ever before.  Maybe KU should move to the Big East, less teams there to hang 50 on them in the first half.

Again, this is rich coming from a fan of a program that hasn't won a bowl game since 2002.

I love BMWjayhawk.  So fun to have some one to offer a different perspective around here.

Please never leave us again.  If people give you a hard time, just ignore them.

Because bowl victories are the only possible measure of success.

Who would you say has a more quality football program, Beams?

We haven't won a bowl game since 2002 and we 59-7ed your sorry excuse for a team.  How exactly does that feel?  Bet it feels kinda like a massive kick to the nuts.  I know you spent a good deal of time in the fetal position afterwards.

Winning bowl games isn't that important. You get paid just for getting there.

[theymightbegiants]

He is just bitter because there is a team out there that hasn't won their own conference championship since 1930, and the last shared conference championship was in 1968. The only measure of success is bowl w/l's though so this doesn't matter.  Stick with Gill.... it'll work out

Right now?  K-State.  Only a few short years ago KU had the better program.  It's college football... things can change in a hurry.

I find comfort in the fact that LHC Bill Snyder is the only coach who has had success at K-State.

KU's run was very short (incredibly short considering how awesome 2007 was)

. in our lifetimes, ksu has been the much better program and it's not close.

by KU standards Prince had success.

[jtksu]

Has KU ever had extended success in football?

KU got tired of going 6-6 every year, which is why they ultimately fired Mangino.

so they could go 3-9 every year.

Or in the case of 2011...1-11. ...but give Gill time.

What was Snyder's record in his first couple years at K-State?  TIA.  Oh, and KU already has two wins this year, genius.

Funny you bring this up.  I've heard (at least 17 times during the last two ABC broadcasts) that K-state was 0-26-1 in their last 27 games before Snyds took over.

Pretty much the same situ as Turner.  Good point.

Snyder's first two years were 1-10 and 5-6.  Your point is well taken, and it is quite clear that Gill is the better coach since he has never had a one-win team.  Or another way of looking at it is that Gill only needs one more win this year to equal Snyder's win total of his first two years.  Snyder did not make it to a bowl game until year five, so you should not hold Gill to a higher standard than that.

I'd also like to mention that Snyder lost to Louisiana-Lafayette and gave up 66 points at home to Texas Tech in his first year out of retirement. 

[jtksu]

He also won 4 conference games.

He didn't have time to scheme cuz he was taking classes at the Apple Store for his new iPhone.

The Tech game was in Lubbock.

Man,  I was on a roll that night. Oddly enough, none of the randos wanting me to eat crow today were rushing to Snyder's defense in this thread a year ago. Weird.
