After decades of receiving near universal love from Kansas State football fans, Bill Snyder is suddenly in need of a popularity boost.
He works at a stadium that bears his name and features a statue of his likeness, but Snyder is currently facing the same stress levels of any other struggling coach. He could really use a win over TCU on Saturday, not just to help K-State turn around a disappointing season, but to show critics he remains the man best suited to lead this team.
Fan unrest has reached levels previously unseen during Snyder’s second tenure following last week’s 51-14 loss to Oklahoma, in which the Wildcats (3-5, 1-4 Big 12) allowed an astounding 702 yards.
