No disrespect intended but I don't think there's a coach in the country as overrated as Snyder from year to year. I keep hearing how great he is and then K State does something great once every ten years. I realize the man gets a lot of credit for doing more with less, but less is still less. Auburn has the high end of a large talent gap and I'd venture that Malzahn is a better X's and O's coach (which isn't an insult, I think he's better than 90% of the coaches out there).
55-17 Auburn.
You're overlooking K-State's history. They've been playing football since 1896. Prior to his arrival, they'd won 9 or more games exactly once. With him at the helm, they've done it 12 times. They'd been to one bowl in their history and had only 4 winning seasons in the last 50 years. With him there, they've gone to 15 bowls and had winning seasons in 17 out of 22 years.
Comparing Auburn to K-State isn't fair. Auburn's got a much richer history of success and talent. What he's done at K-State would be like someone turning Kentucky into a perennial SEC contender.

Snyder is a great coach. One of the best coaches in modern history, considering where he coached, and a true ambassador of the game.
Those K-State teams of the late 1990s were

Which is great. But again, nothing close to the level of success Auburn has achieved over the same period, not that anyone was making that comparison. I'm just saying he seems to get rewarded for the mediocre even though their 'bad years' were 25 years ago. I know KSU people love him but it's still - objectively - a middle-of-the-road program.

Of course not for purposes of bragging, but when people start posting dumb threads about how K State can hang with Auburn it's worth mentioning IMO.
