Stoops, Osborne reflect on Snyder’s career
Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder watches during the second half against Iowa State on Nov. 21 in Manhattan. K-State won 38-35, the first of three straight wins to earn bowl eligibility and finish the regular season 6-6. Snyder is in New York tonigBob Stoops knows he was in the minority, but he believed Kansas State would become a winner under head coach Bill Snyder.
Though the Oklahoma coach admits today that he may have been a bit naïve when he first arrived in Manhattan in the spring of 1989 as an assistant on Snyder’s first coaching staff at K-State.
After all, Stoops was only accustomed to winning at Iowa, where he and Snyder worked under Hayden Fry.
