K State--how does Snyder do it?
- Thread starter marteau
- Start date
Maybe. But a couple conference titles isn't the expectation here. My point is that he is great up to a point. But something was always missing when it came to competing at the national level.
When people say things like his teams don't beat themselves, they are referring to Army, Navy, Iowa, Wisconsin and Kansas St. They are not referring to Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St.
Conservative teams that rely on diamonds in the rough and developing talent don't compete year after year for national titles anymore. It's just a fact.
For the record, I don't care if that's what Nebraska goes back to.
If it is determined that we can't compete on the recruiting trail with the top teams in the country, and we will have to turn into Wisconsin, where we win 8-10 games a year, play in a conference title game pretty consistently, win one every 4 or 5 years, but never really be in the national title hunt that's fine with me. It's the dudes clamoring for top 10 recruiting classes and competing with Michigan and Ohio St that you have to convince.
So you're saying the talent there sucks... who do you think brought in that lack of talent?
No. What he is saying is that it is very hard to recruit to KSU. No matter who the coach is. Nick Saban could be their coach and they still would not be able to recruit easily there
Just like many on here say it's impossible to recruit to Nebraska. That doesn't fly, especially when KSU would accept a complete idiot to school for football
When you look at what Snyder did with guys like Roberson and Bishop at QB, its hard not to think TA would have been something special in that system.
He could have and would have been better in Beck's system. He was just a dude stuck in a bad spot of a coaching transition where he didn't really fit into the new coach's scheme all that well.
We can bring up example after example of guys caught in a coaching change that never reached their full potential. Heck if Rudock transfers to Nebraska and not Michigan Armstrong probably doesn't play last year.
Well he maybe a nice guy, but is a demanding coach. Riley isn't a tough coach or demanding. That is why he is average you keep believing. Get your rose colored glasses off you will see once tomorrows game is over.
LOL, yea that`s why I picked the Vols to win.
Bill Snyder signed 2 footballs for 2 charity auctions that benefited children that I helped co-sponsor a few years ago. I have the utmost respect with how he tries to help/benefit others in need.
Almost all Husker fans that are looking at the game objectively picked Tennessee. I want to be wrong but the signs are pointing in the wrong direction for this game.
However, I might feel a little more confident if Coach Snyder was coaching the Huskers tomorrow. Winking
Snyder is good, of course, but to sing his praises after a bowl win is interesting. Bowl games are known for having teams that don't show up to play. Not saying this was necessarily the case with A&M, but after their hot start, they had to think they were capable of much better than the Advocare V100 Texas Bowl against 8-4 KSU.
There is much love for a (now) 9-4 K-State team than the 9-3 Nebraska team. Where are the "How does Riley do it?" posts?

Imagine Riley at K State and Snyder at NU for the last 5 years who do you think would have a better record?
A hypothetical situation, but I'll try my best crack. I think Snyder would have a better record at Nebraska, primarily because Nebraska's talent was better suited to Snyder's offensive system. I don't think anyone would throw away a chance at a Bill Snyder, specifically when he wasn't at the end of his career as I believe he is one of the better coaches in the country.
That said, I think because Riley has an entirely different system that he will end up quite well in years 4 and 5 of his tenure at Nebraska.
Riley would never make it at K-State he would top out at 6 or 7 wins. Riley isn't going to out coach anyone. He would just stand there with hands in the pockets and have that blank stare on his face. Guy is clueless.
