A reporter mentioned to Bill Snyder this week that he looked well, a simple compliment but another reference nonetheless to the coach’s fight with throat cancer since its discovery last December.
“Would you tell my wife that?” Snyder said before quickly turning the conversation back to talk of replacing a sidelined center, depth at running back and the options at backup QB ahead of the Wildcats’ opener Saturday against Central Arkansas.
Snyder, 77, is set to enter his 26th year at Kansas State. His accomplishments are well documented.
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby describes Snyder’s work in Manhattan, Kansas, as the greatest construction job in college football history.
