The other day, wildcat00 asked me what I thought things would be like in Manhattan if K-State hadn't hired Bill Snyder in 1988. I immediately broke down in tears, unable to function for about three hours.
The first step to answering this question is to figure out who else K-State was pursuing at the time, and really all we know comes from a Bob Hentzen column in the Capital-Journal right after Snyder was hired. The list is not overwhelming. It's not even underwhelming. I'm not sure it's whelming at all:
- Ron Dickerson, a former Wildcat cornerback who was, at the time, the DB coach at Penn State.
