The Rise of Kansas State (Ft. @lukeontheplains )

Показать описание

Historically, without Bill Snyder running the Kansas State football program, the school has struggled with an overall record of 355-553-40 with a man named Snyder not serving as head coach. The Snyder era has been the lone bright spot for a struggling program that may be one of the toughest jobs in all of college football. That was the viewpoint until the arrival of Chris Klieman. Klieman has rebuilt Kansas State into a Big 12 conference power who is always in contention to win the conference title and with the expanded playoff, may even have them in the position to compete for a national title. This is the rise of Kansas State.

Bill Snyder is easily one of the greatest coaches of all time and it’s great to see him get credit for accomplishments

Bill Snyder was so far ahead of his time, when it came to offensive football. He was one of the few offensive minds who could mesh multiple concepts, seamlessly, into one philosophy. Those offenses in the late 90s and early 2000s were fun to watch and study.

When the AD that hired Bill Snyder was doing his due diligence by calling other coaches to ask about Bill, he called Bo Schembechler at Michigan and Bo's response was "Get him the fuck out of the Big 10". That speaks volumes.

I lived in Manhattan, KS from early 1988 to the summer of 1990, so I got to see the impact of Snyder's arrival firsthand (though sadly not to stay long enough to see the big on-field breakthrough that started with Snyder's second season). I was very young at the time and had no interest in sports until later, but I was still impacted by it. My mom had a friend from work who was married to one of K-State's starting defensive linemen at the time, and that player actually ended up quitting the team after Snyder arrived because he thought Snyder was out of his mind expecting the players to actually put in the effort and try to win. I also remember how wild the town got one September weekend in Snyder's first season with the team, as the Wildcats had WON a football game for the first time in three years (which was almost half my lifetime at that point)! It rivaled the celebrations of winning national titles I later observed while living in Lincoln, NE in the mid 1990s...

Snyder won 11 games 6 out of 7 years at one point

Collin Klein was that guy back in the day. K State was one of my go to teams on NCAA 11 because of him lol

Ou fan and K state was by far the team I hated playing because you know it's going to be a grind but as a kid especially in the 90s when we sucked because of the probation K state was who I rooted for watching Snyder build that team up against them Nebraska juggernaut teams of the mid 90s K state was the only team that could give the Huskers issues

Thanks for this good show. I think the KSU Wildcats are contenders for the playoff.

Kansas St. will forever be good in my books after the Colin Klein era. I miss that so much

Hey mate, loved the video, but the audio seems to briefly cut out mid-sentence at times. Just wanted to make you aware.

Dalukes calling himself a pessimistic KSU fan is just perfect.

Before Snyder, it was the toughest job in college football but after he left it, it’s not even close to the toughest job. He turned an undesirable job into a desirable one.
