Even in retirement, Bill Snyder prefers to divert attention away from himself in a public setting.
Snyder spoke for nearly 30 minutes at Kansas State’s football banquet on Sunday and he spent the vast majority of that time thanking his former players, support staff and family for all they did for him during his legendary 27-year coaching career with the Wildcats.
K-State honored Snyder with videos and the crowd gave him several standing ovations, but he seemed more focused on everyone else in the building.
Snyder praised K-State’s senior class, raved about equipment room employees who work behind the scenes and closed with a special thank you to his family.
