***Rumor K-State & Snyder

[Dandy]

I thought Snyder would pull a Wisconsin-Ryan-Gard.

Bo Ryan wanted Greg Gard as his replacement. Wisconsin didn't. Ryan quit at a time they couldn't replace him so they were forced to promote Gard to interim head coach. Ryan was right and Wisconsin officially promoted Gard after the season.

Snyder wants his son Sean as the coach. K-State doesn't. I figured Bill would quit just before the season when he couldn't be replaced. K-State would have to promote someone and maybe they'd choose Sean (associate head coach right now) and then he'd have a chance to prove himself and get K-State to hire him.

Right on. Didn't Bob Stoops do something similar? Quit right before the season started.

Yep it is pretty much the same thing too. Forgot about that one.

Google says Bob stepped down around June 7th. Pretty much impossible to replace a college coach that time of year.

Sometime in the next 10 years we will have to deal with that issue here in WBB.

Yup...should make for fun times...

Stoops was turning it over to one of, if not the most sought after offensive minds in the game, who was young, in demand and ready to go. Snyder is trying to strong arm his kid, who hasn't been very special in any aspect other than wearing pleated pants. I don't think this is a like situation.

Take it FWIW but I’m hearing Snyder is gone. He is making one last plea to AD for his son to take over as coach.

Been hearing more and more talking heads saying he should do the right thing by KSU and retire. But it better not be our last game when he makes the announcement! Take your Cyclone beating like a man - a really old, fragile and historically significant man who has my undying respect for his accomplishments as a football coach.

If he does, they'll announce it this week to maximize attendance for their last two home games.

 

[SpokaneCY]

What will be cool (if all this pans out) is other than their very recent record, he will retire at the top of HIS game and not under a cloud of pedo or rape suspicion like some other recent icons. Looking at you paterno.

Pollard was up to the challenge

 

[cyhiphopp]

If that’s the case I plan to be drunk and belligerent that day.

As opposed to any other game day?

I still think a big part of Bob stepping down was so he wouldn't have to can his brother, which was inevitable.

 

[Dandy]

Pollard was up to the challenge

Yes, but that was basketball. A little different.

 

[ca4cy]

The boos would start before opening kickoff and last all game if that joker was officiating the KSU vs ISU game. Of all the bs the Clones have put up with over the years, that was the worst.

It's just degrees of shittyness at some point but Mike Defee, his extra smedium ref shirt, and the non fumble on the goal line against Texas a few years ago would like a word.

 

[cyhiphopp]

Hearing Brian Ferents is on the short list

No, you heard wrong. He's on the short bus. He already took advantage of subsidized housing, now he's going to steal from the handicapped.

You are correct and we'd better not give in and hire young Billy

 

[JM4CY]

Boy, if they hired Little Kirk, that would really accomplish what the Big 12 seems to want to do with rivalry games at the end of the year. I would love beating that belligerent asshat to end the regular season every year.

At least it wont cost us as much as a MBB or Football head coach.

 

[cycloneML]

What's Ron Prince up to?

In all seriousness that can't be a sexy gig for anyone. Trying to replace Snyder's old school ways, in a place like Manhattan. I'll be thrilled to see K-State tumble back to the bottom.

Dude, Manhattan is a carbon copy of Ames

 

[werdnamanhill]

I haven't seen any rumors on twitter yet. When do you think they will announce it?

 

[SCyclone]

Whar @surly? Can't believe he hasn't weighed in yet on this.
