Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops has coached alongside and against Kansas State’s Bill Snyder for close to 20 years.
Stoops knows Snyder, so it never came as a shock to him when Snyder retired and then, like so many athletes and coaches do, decided to return to coaching college football.
“He doesn’t do anything without a lot of thought but then again I know how much he enjoys the game and the preparations …,” Stoops said. “Coach is a great competitor, he’s a great coach. So in the end, that’s probably there and he’s thinking, ‘Hey this is what I do.’And he’s going to do it longer.”
The Swimmer
Knowing Snyder as well as he does, it didn’t take Stoops long to think of something that not many people know about Bill Snyder.
