March 5, 2021
Grab a chair, take a stroll, and settle in for a thoughtful and inspiring 60-minute conversation with Bill Snyder.
Bill Snyder was the head football coach at Kansas State from 1989 to 2005, and again from 2009 to 2018. He has been called “the architect of the greatest turnaround in college football history."
Coach Snyder took over a program in 1989 that was in the midst of a 27-game winless streak, but quickly advanced to 11-straight bowl games and tallied six 11-win seasons over a seven-year stretch. He is the winningest coach in Kansas State University history.
He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. He has been the AP National Coach of the Year, ESPN national Coach of the Year, CNN National Coach of the Year, Big Eight Conference Coach of the Year by the AP three times, and Big Twelve Conference Coach of the Year four times.
He is a recipient of the Bear Bryant Award, Bobby Dood Coach of the Year Award, two-time winner of Woody Hayes Coach of the Year, and Sporting News National Coach of the Year.
