After various reports surfaced earlier Sunday, Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder made it official. He will retire from coaching at the age of 79 after 27 total seasons in Manhattan (over two stints). Kansas State was his only head coaching post.
Snyder is a four-time Big 12 Coach of the Year and was named the unanimous national coach of the year in 1998, receiving the Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year, the Walter Camp Coach of the Year and the AP Coach of the Year awards. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015.
