Who do you think will do Special teams coordination?

Plus even if this combo of a GA and Snyder does manage to work this season it's just a bandaid.  The GA will be gone and Snyder probably will be too, We need a good on-the-field coach to be in charge of ST's that will have us doing well from year-to-year.

Yep, seems odd to me that we have a TE coach, and ILB coach and an OLB coach - one of those guys should be pulling double duty. Seems like a guy like Jackson  at SDSU would be chomping at the bit to pull double duty in a position like that. Not to mention our DC coaches OLBs for a while. We had a golden opportunity to let Chin coach OLBs and be DC and bring Snyder to be a true full time ST coach.

As bad as our special teams have been (on bad teams to boot), it would be refreshing to see a dedication to trying to win that phase of the game and if Sean is the guy, I am all for it.  Im guessing he and Bill talked football on more than one occasion.....just spit balling that idea.

yeah yeah yea.....OK...

There has been discussion about this being a one year deal and him becoming a full time assistant after this year.  If he's ONLY going to be ST coordinator, that's fine.  Then we would need to consolidate two current jobs into one and eliminate a position.  If he's going to coach something else also, then I'm interested in what else he has experience in.

I'm not a believer that you just plug someone into a position because you want them on your staff even though they haven't done anything to show they can do that job.

He would only coach ST and that's all he's ever coached before which is fine with me. Full dedication to that aspect 

 
They have actually led the FBS the last 20 years:K-State has scored a nation leading 96 non-offensive touchdowns since 1999. It’s not just that K-State has turned specials teams into an identity, they’ve turned it into points which translates, as we all know, to wins.

 
image.gifHave we offered Snyder yet?  Sad to read about Sean's 22 year old Son's suicide last Feb..

While watching Iowa in their bowl game, I was surprised when the commentators put up a chart listing Hayden Fry's assistants on their 1983 team..

Five of the staff would go on to become the winningest head coaches at five different programs: Snyder (Kansas State), Alvarez (Wisconsin), Stoops (Oklahoma), McCarney (Iowa State) and Ferentz (Iowa).

This was very enlightening.  Thank you.

After reading this and the subsequent posts...To summarize it sound like Snyder would be a coach in waiting similar to what could be proposed for Lubick.   In the short term Snyder run the position group in the film room and do the planning and direct the G.A.   Frost or the G.A would then coordinate in game and in practice.   Eventually Snyder is on the field if Becton leaves in the future.  ST/TE coach is a good combination.
