One thing Sean Snyder enjoys about the start of a new football season is the way it shifts attention away from nebulous topics like fan debates and his father’s coaching longevity to tangible things like tackles and touchdowns.
That is always a welcome change, especially now.
Snyder’s name was in the news more than ever this offseason with K-State football coach Bill Snyder, his father, recovering from throat cancer treatment. No one knows how much longer he will continue coaching, but, at the age of 77, his long and successful career is nearing its end. Who will succeed him?
