Despite everyone else jerking off to Snyder and his apparently unmatched coaching career, what I think many used to admire him for is dissolving away as he ages. For probably half of his supports, the admiration was how graceful he has been, I have admired that as well.
Well, the times - and seemingly his personality - have changed. Personally, I think he has shown to be incredibly selfish and blind the past 3-4 years to how much he’s limited KState by not allowing them to move on. Instead, they’re experiencing a slow but consistent decent because even his trademark JUCO players know he’s past his time and there isn’t an enticement to go there.
Yes, he built them into a respectable top half of league school (no longer), but let’s not pretend he made them into Alabama or a national power, even way back.
Now, it’s not a secret he’s been asked to retire for at least 3 years and has refused without a guarantee his son will be his replacement. Well, that’s not gonna happen and his refusal to bow out in grace - and they aren’t firing him for many reasons - has put them in a ****** spot.
Personally, I hope he sticks around another few years based on the trajectory they’re heading. He should always be remembered for doing a good job building that program and for being a classy guy, but he will eventually ruin that memory for many by overstaying his time for what could easily be seen as selfish reasons.
