Weird how Snyder can't attract and retain talented young assistant coaches.

Bielema said that because he does not have a family, he hired coaches at Wisconsin who could fill that void; many of his assistants have three or four children. Bielema says he tries not to keep his coaches chained to their offices. He recalled staring at the walls while working for LHC Bill Snyder at Kansas State because he felt as if he had to be in his office, even with nothing to do. Bielema said he opened up many practices and meals to his coaches’ families.

“I was looking to surround myself with good family guys because I didn’t have one, and I wanted to breed that culture,” he said. “That’s what makes my situation work. I can live vicariously through them.”

Powertards Reply:  The only way to win at K-State is to work from 6am to Midnight every day and have a head coach micro manage every aspect of the program.

Snyder is such a pos.

Glad those 18 hour work days are paying off for a 6-7 win season. What if our coaches worked 9-4?

We are doomed.

"LHC Bill Snyder" is a metaphor for the Maginot Line.

Here's the thing, all those guys he had who were decent coaches never realized that they really would NOT be fired if they just said "eff it" and knocked off at 7 or so.

It's the crap ones who seem to have figured out that Old Balls is too much of a coward to pull the trigger.


Helluva deal, ya know?

[steve dave]

Let's put him in a home. It's time. We've already waited too long.

[wetwillie]

Heard rumor once that Bill pursued very heavily the idea that a trained psychologist could hypnotize him into thinking he had slept or something.  Like tricking your body into thinking you were sleeping when you were actually working.

This is an excellent point.

Christ, he's a Savant on offense, but this current AC situation has me thinking that we dont have much longer left before he forgets Tate's name and starts calling Currie "Max."

I want Leavitt as HC and Bill as OC....but make Bill work from the home.   We could dedicate one of the GA jobs to simply printing Bill's emails and delivering game film to his home.

[ELL3]

I wish we had a hip, young black head coach that talked the big talk and would schedule us some big time non con games
Preferably a guy with a shaved head who ran a west coast offense
Instead of working the assistants to death he could shazbot! the wives of the assistants
BBR
 Bring Back Ron!!!!

[Pete]

The miitary has a mandatory retirement age.  Maybe we could get Gerald Meyers to explain the virtues of this to Bill, and sorta coax him into the car on the way to the home?

You know exactly what Bill's response will be....he'll trot out Joe Pa examples.   Jesus, Bill prolly thinks that cause that one guy he knew who smoked lived to 90, that cigs are harmless.

Actually would not mind Rich Rod as next head coach
He won at WVU and that is not paradise

[sys]

makes 1.9 per year.  and if he were to be fired from that gig, the only other thing he's qualified to do would be greet people at walmart.

ummm what has he "won" at WVU?  He beat a Mark Richt coached team  in a shootout so that adds an auto * to that win.  wouldn't you rather have a coach that wouldn't eventually eff us over?

[ednksu]

I would love to see the author's notes for that paraphrase to see if it is as damning as it seems.  If it is that bad it is the worst example of why the system isn't designed to perpetuate itself by bringing in good coaches and keeping them to sustain success.

Please see Limestone's work in the "Why not Jim" thread.  We aren't exactly a dream job.

So we are a dream job?  Damn I'm glad you saved me from shuffling off the cliff with the rest of the herd.

gmafb.  there's only like 100 d1 fball coaching jobs in the world.  and like 6 billion people.

Well, there is the PRESUMPTION of qualification for the job....


BUT, to Sys's point, there wouldn't be a shortage of aspiring young binder toting slicksters willing to take the job.

Bill would prolly spend all his money on balloons and helium to float BSFS to South America rather than be sent to a home.

I think Bill is rough ridin' us over way worse than Rich "3 top 10 finishes in 3 years" Rodriguez mumped over WVU.  JMO

There are some quotes from Bobby Stoops floating around that are very similar to what Brett said
