Bill Snyder is practically a Big 12 Football
legend. After all, Kansas State University's stadium is even named after him
(the Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?).
Snyder played football for only a semester at the
University of Missouri before transferring to William Jewell College and
playing defensive back. He was a coach in a series of high schools before
becoming an assistant under Hayden Fry, first at North Texas State and then at
the University of Iowa. In 1989, he became head coach at Kansas State University
for the first time. What really separates Snyder is that he has been the coach
at KSU twice. Once from 1989-2005 and from 2009-present. He stepped down in
2005 for Ron Prince, but replaced Prince when he stepped down in 2008.
He’s been a very successful coach since, both on the field and off in his treatment
of potential controversy over the years.
Besides just coaching the KSU football team, Snyder
is also involved in the community by raising funds for the school library.
