I've always admired Bill Snyder as a coach. He's probably had plenty of chances to leave for bigger and better things but he's decided to stay there. As a result, he consistently fields a team that probably has no business playing with the big boys but does.
Here's a great article from several years back detailing his approach. He may not have the horses, but I'm sure coaches from around the SEC will be tuning in to see if he provides the blueprint for beating the power spread attack.
I've read both of his books.
Let's remember - he built K St up, then retired, they fell to the bottom, he came back and rebuilt them again.
He is a very very very special coach and special man. He's one of the top five college football coaches of all time IMHO. Forget about win totals. He's the high because he is such a good coach AND a good man.

Let's not get carried away Scrooster.
I agree that Snyder is a formidable coach, but he also pioneered the formula of running up obscene scores against cupcakes. It almost worked for them in '98; thank god A&M pulled the rug out from under them in the conference championship game. Art Briles does it and people think he's a world beater.
Mizzou schedules cupcakes, but Pinkel uses them as tuneups. He never, ever runs up the score.
At any rate, I think Auburn takes care of business Thursday but it wouldn't surprise me if Snyder pulls off the upset. He's wily and strange things often happen in Mancrappin.
It should be interesting...

Beat me to it. Kansas State was just awful for their entire previous history before he took the job the first time. Then he retired and K State returned to not quite their previous level of awfulness, but in the same neighborhood. Then he came back, and so did K State. He obviously knows something about coaching.
That said, I expect Auburn to romp.
