So Bill Snyder has retired. Again, and this time probably for good.
It is no small wrench to write about Coach Snyder’s time at Kansas State in the past tense, and I am barely keeping my composure as I type this.
In the days and weeks to come, there will be many paeans and tributes written to his career as a football coach. There will be speculation too, about the future of football at Kansas State, about his successor, about whether he left on his own terms, and perhaps about whether the sour note struck by the 2018 season will tarnish the rest of his extraordinary tenure in Manhattan.
