Bill Snyder to coach Kansas State football again
BY JEFFREY MARTIN
The Wichita Eagle


Bill Snyder, architect of the "Miracle in Manhattan," will be introduced Monday as the football coach at Kansas State again, sources confirmed tonight.

Snyder is already the program's most successful coach, winning 135 games in 17 seasons. The stadium bears Snyder's name.

Snyder, 69, retired in November 2005, telling members of the media, his family and friends, "To me, this is the right time." He said during a news conference he felt he was leaving the program on solid ground.

But K-State hired Ron Prince, who lasted three seasons, finishing with a 17-20 record.

A source indicated Snyder would be given a five-year contract worth $1.8 million per season.

A news conference is scheduled for 10 a.m.


So, will Phil be back in a few years?

I thought Patterson was a lock for this job? Something must have happened.....Maybe the TCU HC has had some more interesting offers.

Why would we not consider him?

TCU's kicker missed FGs from 26 and 35 in the 4th quarter at Utah. The Utes won 13-10 on a late TD. If the kicker would have made those short FGs, Patterson would have TCU in the BCS right now.

According todays Wichita newspaper, Snyder was offered the job the day after Prince was fired three weeks ago. He just decided yesterday to accept it.


From todays Wichita paper:

Snyder said he made the decision to return Sunday night after being offered the job on Nov. 6. Former coach Ron Prince was fired on Nov. 5.

Based on that, Patterson was never in the running.

I don't give a damn what the papers are reporting...I find it really hard to believe that they could have had Patterson and went with Snyder instead.

How stupid it was for K-state to give Ron prince a extension and raise after last year. I laughed when I heard that. Prince never fit in there anyway. Better to get rid of him now. Also, what Snyder did at K-state may never be duplicated. He set his program apart with Juco players and a soft non-conference schedule. Programs had never thought of running a system this way (maybe southern miss) but K-state sure had a great run but their expectations may be a little to high.

Yep I agree even if they wanted Patterson he would be crazy to go there. I would rather stay at TCU and wait for a job to come along at a BCS level where you can have success.
