Did KSU fire OLD Bill Snyder after he had bad years? He went 4-7 , 5-6 and 6-6 worse than Fulmer

And now he is just beat the #6 team in the Nation

No. He "retired" and un-retired.

Thank u for playing

so a coach can leave come back yo the same school and have success again

Snyder also has had a resemblance of a potential for winning

 

[WesternKyVol]

We are better than K-State. We are better than one big win.

I really hope I see 500 more of these threads. It would make my year

Gene Chizik won a national title two years ago. Does Auburn look fantastic right now?

So we need to hire Bill Snyder next? He's getting up there in age and has a stadium in the middle of no-where named after him. He'll never leave Tampa, I mean Manhattan, KS.

Bill Snyder's predecessor, Stan Parrish was 2-30-1

Parrish's predecessor had ONE mediocre winning year in eight seasons, earning KSU with their FIRST bowl bid EVER ('82). The other 7 seasons were 4-7 or worse.

Snyder inherited what Sports Illustrated called the worst program in Division I at the time. He concluded his first tenure as HC by winning 11 games in 6 of his final 9 seasons, an amazing fact you neglected to mention.

When you have an 11-13 career record against the Sooners and Horns at a perennial loser like KSU was, you can leave when you want. Yet, he appropriately retired when he realized he wasn't meeting his expectations.

Comparing Fulmer's situation to Snyder's is silly. The standards aren't remotely similar.

This is just dumb. Bill Snyder is K-State football. Aside from the Snyder years, K-State is the most embarrassing program in college football. Excluding Snyder's record, aside from his seasons quoted above, and going back to 1935, those seasons would have been the 21st, 13th, and 10th best seasons (by winning percentage) over that time period.

K-State fans are perfectly fine with equating K-State football with Bill Snyder. I think UT's history presents a much different history. No Tennessee coach is going to be above the program in the way that Snyder was really above the program at K-State.

Snyder is a fantastic coach

 

[volberry]

Snyder obviously knows what he's doing. He took some years off, got himself updated, and now is better than before. Fulmer was stuck in 1995.

 

[give_him 6]

Snyder has always been a big fan of Urban Meyer's. He has said so on several occasions.

Bill Snyder's tale is a crazy success story.

Crazy success stories are typically an anomaly.

I didn't realize the expectations at K-State and Tennessee were the same.

Give Snyder credit for respecting the program enough to leave when he wasn't getting it done. The break obviously did him good, he recharged, whatever.
