It’s still uncomfortable and dangerous to put anything past Bill Snyder, even at 76.
So while it’s true that Kansas State hasn’t been achieving in football of late the way the Wildcats did when Snyder was 60, it’s also not smart to say Snyder has lost his magic. Who’s to say there’s not another rabbit or two in Snyder’s hat?
Meanwhile, at Kansas, David Beaty is yet to master even a simple card trick. We don’t know whether Beaty can potentially pull the Jayhawks out of a ditch created by two of the worst coaching hires in college football history, or whether the young and still-inexperienced Beaty is destined to join predecessors Turner Gill and Charlie Weis as another short-sighted hire.
