The Tony Pruitt Show

We look back at May 5, 2022, when legendary Kansas State (K-State) football coach Bill Snyder appeared on the show. Coach Snyder is known as the architect and leader of the greatest turnaround in college football history. He served as the head football coach at Kansas State University from 1989 to 2005 and again from 2009 to 2018.

Coach Bill Snyder was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame (HOF) in 2015 and won several conference and national coach of the year awards. In honor of his contributions to the program, Kansas State has named its home football field the Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium. 

Coach Snyder is on The Tony Pruitt Show to talk about his time coaching, the story behind the Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium, what he is doing now, and he even talks about his favorite breakfast cereal.
