Doesn't Bill Snyder have to be considered one of the greatest coaches of our time?  I mean, he's doing what he's doing at KANSAS STATE.  They sucked for a century before he got there, they were routinely in NC contention in his first tenure, they sucked after he left, and now they're good again (and getting better every season) in his second go-around, at an age when most coaches have been retired for a decade or more.  And it's not like he's recruiting the lights out, either.  You really can't at a place like that (without getting in trouble with the NCAA).  Just imagine what he could do with some 5* talent at his disposal.

Model program with pretty much average talent..............COACHING and players who believe in his system.

OU....Texas.....Georgia. Three programs that do less with more than any teams in the country.

I have always thought so.  He was very briefly mentioned as a candidate at UT...I think when Lame left, but everyone was like "he's too old".  What the hell, he would do well anywhere I think.

And WVU is 5 minutes away from beating Baylor.  The Big 12 race is about to get turned on its head.

At his age, I doubt that he would've taken a job anywhere other than KSU.  You don't just uproot and move halfway across the country at age 70, no matter how much money is at stake.

True, but he would have been a great get.

People do move at that age though. I knew a couple in West Lafayette that moved in their 70s to be near their son.  They did mention it was tough, but it can be done.

Yeah, but going from retired to working 18 hours (or more) a day is a whole different kettle of fish.
