Coach Bill Snyder doesn't really need much of an introduction. After all, he was the engineer of the greatest turnaround in college football history and is now part of the College Football Hall of Fame. Coach Sndyer arrived in Manhattan in 1988 after serving as the offensive coordinator under another legend, Hayden Fry, at Iowa. His long career, separated by a failed three-year retirement in the middle, started in 1989 and by the 1998 season, Snyder had his Wildcats in contention for a national title. That was also the year that Powercat Illustrated, the predecessor to GoPowercat.com, was launched. Coach Snyder retired after the 2018 season and remains a remarkable man at 83 years of age.
