Lost in all the pre game smack is that when we take the field against K-State the Bison will be facing one of the greatest college Coaches of all time. A win in Manhattan would be a huge notch in the belt for Bohl and I am sure he is stoked about the opportunity. What the guy has done there is nothing short of amazing. In the modern era (post wwII) he has led K-State to its first bowl game, first bowl win, first conference championship and two number one rankings in the AP poll. He basically saved an athletics program that was on the verge of being thrown out of the old Big 8. Yes, it was that bad. Their overall record before Snyder was 299-510.

Now I am no K-State apologist and I have a very special hate for the Power Cat. However, it is hard not to respect Coach Snyder as he has won with class, graduated his players, all while not cheating.

In the 4 years prior to Snyder's arrival K-State went 3-40-1. In the 2 years prior K-State went 0-21-1. His first year K-State went 1-10.

One minor correction. K-State's first bowl game was in 1982 under Jim Dickey. They lost the Independence Bowl to Wisconsin 3-14.

If there's one thing I have learned about college sports (and living through the steroid era for that matter), I wouldn't proclaim ANY program to be 100% clean.

I was going to say the same thing. The last line should read

Snyder as he has won with class, graduated his players, all while not getting caught cheating.

Maybe he runs a clean program. Maybe he runs a program that looks clean.

Hey coach, you should probably get on the phone with that nut from Massey Ratings and let them know there's no way that Kansas State goes 11-1 with their only loss being a 3 pt. loss at pre-season Big 12 favorite Oklahoma State (http://www.masseyratings.com/team.php?t=3731&s=199231).

Bison 4 Life has a slight math error. Coach Snyder has 170 wins over 21 seasons as head coach. That would work out to be 8.1 wins per year. And it's really hard to hold that first season against him as he did not have his players in place. They did win their first game in about 2.5 seasons. K-State went 1-10 that first year. So if you take that first season off, you get 169 wins over 20 seasons or 8.45 wins per year.

Bison 4 Life is correct in his statement about K-State being really bad when he was hired. When Snyder was hired at K-State for the first time on November 24, 1988, he took over a program that had a cumulative record of 299–510 (.370) in 93 years of play, which was easily the most losses of any team in Division I-A at the time. The school had been to only one bowl game (the 1982 Independence Bowl), had not won a conference title since 1934 and had enjoyed four winning seasons in the previous 44 years (including two in the previous 34 years). The program had also not won a game since October 1986, going 0-26-1 in that time.

Prior to Snyder's first season in 1989, Sports Illustrated published an article about Kansas State football entitled "Futility U," which labeled the school "America's most hapless team".

Snyder's first tenure at Kansas State is still considered one of the most successful rebuilding projects in collegiate history. In recognition of his rebuilding work, Hall of Fame football coach Barry Switzer once stated, "He's not the coach of the year, he's not the coach of the decade, he's the coach of the century."

You forgot to mention that he wins that many games having to recruit in between two of the most storied football programs in college football (Oklahoma and Nebraska) and he absolutely owns the Longhorns who have WAY better talent on a yearly basis. Any hating on Snyder is purely asinine. Is he the second coming of Christ, no, but he's undoubtedly one of the best college coaches of all time.

I agree that most of Bill Snyder's Legendary status is relative to what the K-State program was before he arrived.

Snyder has held the head coaching position at Kansas State longer than any other coach, and his 170 career wins are more than his 11 predecessors at K-State won from 1935 to 1988 combined. He is far and away the winningest coach in Kansas State history (no other coach has crossed the 40-win mark). During his tenure, K-State has produced 33 AP All-Americans, 42 NFL Draft picks, and 46 first-team academic All-Americans.

Yes, Bob Stoops has done well at Oklahoma since he left K-State where he was Co-Defensive coordinator (spent time at Florida as Defensive Coordinator just before being hired by OU).

Bob Stoops takes Snyder's Blueprint to OU:

In terms of architecting a winning football program, Stoops owes a lot of his tricks of the trade to the seven years he spent working on the sidelines under Snyder at K-State. But the Stoops and Snyder connection goes much further back than their time together in the "Little Apple", Manhattan, Kansas. Stoops played under Hayden Fry at the University of Iowa in the early 80s, where Snyder served as Fry's right-hand man on the offensive side of the ball. After his playing days, Stoops served as a grad assistant at Iowa before a one year stint on Kent State's staff. When Snyder took the job at Kansas State prior to the 1989 season, he brought in Bob as a defensive back coach. Stoops was later promoted to Co-Defensive Coordinator (Jim Leavitt was the other Co-Defensive Coordinator), and played a pivotal role in what many consider the greatest college turnaround ever at Kansas State in the early 90's. He was the defensive mastermind and fiery presence on the sideline complimenting Snyder's masterful game planning on the offensive end.

This is what I had in mind.

Since this thread is titled Bill Snyder, I thought I'd add a list from Athlon, ranking the 125 FBS coaches.

http://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-all-125-college-football-head-coaches-2013

"3. Bill Snyder, Kansas State Overall Record at Kansas State: 170-85-1 (1989-2005, 2009-present, 21 years) Snyder doesn’t get the national credit like Nick Saban or Urban Meyer, but there’s no denying he is one of the best coaches in college football. Prior to his arrival at Kansas State, the Wildcats had just one bowl appearance and recorded only one winning season from 1971-88. After Snyder’s arrival, Kansas State immediately went from a laughingstock to a consistent winner. The Wildcats won six games in Snyder’s first two seasons but recorded 10 years of nine victories or more from 1993-2003. Snyder retired after the 2005 season, but a failed three-year stint under Ron Prince brought him back to the sidelines. And just as Kansas State did in Snyder’s first stint, the program quickly emerged as a conference title contender and was in the mix to play for the national title last season. Snyder isn’t flashy, but his teams are always well-coached and prepared. As long as Snyder roams the sidelines in Manhattan, regardless of how many starters Kansas State loses, never count out the Wildcats from the Big 12 title discussion."

This is what I had in mind.

Since this thread is titled Bill Snyder, I thought I'd add a list from Athlon, ranking the 125 FBS coaches.

http://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-all-125-college-football-head-coaches-2013

"3. Bill Snyder, Kansas State Overall Record at Kansas State: 170-85-1 (1989-2005, 2009-present, 21 years) Snyder doesn’t get the national credit like Nick Saban or Urban Meyer, but there’s no denying he is one of the best coaches in college football. Prior to his arrival at Kansas State, the Wildcats had just one bowl appearance and recorded only one winning season from 1971-88. After Snyder’s arrival, Kansas State immediately went from a laughingstock to a consistent winner. The Wildcats won six games in Snyder’s first two seasons but recorded 10 years of nine victories or more from 1993-2003. Snyder retired after the 2005 season, but a failed three-year stint under Ron Prince brought him back to the sidelines. And just as Kansas State did in Snyder’s first stint, the program quickly emerged as a conference title contender and was in the mix to play for the national title last season. Snyder isn’t flashy, but his teams are always well-coached and prepared. As long as Snyder roams the sidelines in Manhattan, regardless of how many starters Kansas State loses, never count out the Wildcats from the Big 12 title discussion." Blah blah blah........so Snyder has a decent chance of adding another L to his record when the Bison come to town........just sayin.

Nope, and it doesn't make him better than a couple of days ago. Taking chicken shit and turning it into chicken salad is a worthy accomplishment but chicken salad gets old after twenty years, some people want more than that.

Oh I get it, so the Vikings are one of the best run NFL teams of all time because they have almost won a Super Bowl. Good to know!
