Snyder retired once...the new guy (Ron Prince) coached for 3 years and got fired...and Snyder came back.
Why did he come back? Its difficult to get a ‘big name’ coach to come to Kansas, and frankly they couldn’t find anyone to take the job - other than having Snyder come out of retirement.
And they have to have a ‘big name’, because the bitchy players formed an anti-Prince, cause he isn’t as good as Snyder cabal the last time around.
Sarkisian has a big enough name that the players won’t be butt hurt to have to play for him, even though their idol Snyder recruited them.
And Kansas State has a history of this...in basketball. When Bob Huggins got a DUI and resigned, many said he would never coach again. Most doors were shut. So Kansas State opened there door. He only stayed a short time and went on to his Alma Mater - his dream job as if the DUI never happened.
Just a Prediction.
It’s interesting idea....yes, I know about Bill retiring and then returning, and still coaching his fanny off.
And yeah, K State is a tough sell. Even S Carolina stole their bball coach.
