How Soon They Forget

Bees can speak for himself. But I think he is saying that yes, we had a few horrible years but it's not like we were Kansas State before Bill Snyder took over. They had decades of being awful. Granted, Snyder had them at 5-6 in his second year but that's because he's one of the best coaches ever.

My recollection is that he rebuilt the program largely on the backs of JC transfers with shaky academic records. Maybe that isn't a bad way to resurrect a moribund program, but in my eyes it isn't as impressive as what Cutliff has done at Duke.

I can't argue with that. There are a ton of JUCOs out here in Kansas and Snyder take advantage of that. I still think he is a great coach but that is a fair point. (And I don't particularly care for Snyder as a person. He's not a bad guy, but his "live at the office and think football 24-7 mentality" is a little extreme to me.)
