One of the best coaches ever in my book.
Very impressive what he did for Kstate.

Was in Kansas this last summer traveling a very lonely highway on a week night and Snyder was doing a radio segment with a couple of local meatheads and that was the first time I really ever heard him speak at length. To be brutally honest, his age showed in that interview and I wondered how much longer he'd be coaching, like many others I know, but he was so cool to those guys who were really struggling to keep it interesting. Very cool dude who is one of the top 5 CFB coaches of all time in my book. Get well soon my man, I look forward to seeing you on the sideline again. Love that guy.

Get well Coach Snyder and get out of that hospital. Met him a few years ago at the airport in Denver, said hello. He saw I was wearing my Nebraska hat and asked where I was from, told him I lived in Denver but was heading elsewhere for a week. Very courteous and sincere person.
He was key to Iowa's turnound in the 1980's under Fry along with a ridiculous coaching staff. His turnaround at KSU might be the greatest coaching job of all time.
He is what we need more of in this country...humble, hard-working, unassuming, dedicated people who don't give a rip what others think about them and just go about being great at what they do every day.
I like the Luke Skywalker hairdo Bob Stoops has there.He was key to Iowa's turnound in the 1980's under Fry along with a ridiculous coaching staff. His turnaround at KSU might be the greatest coaching job of all time.
I remember Tom Osborne and Bill Snyder did a commercial several years back for Snyder's charity. Two great men, but definitely not cut from the mold of smooth Hollywood pitchmen. But then, that's who they are - genuine.
Man, that was one hell of a staff! Even Dan McCarney. I bet ISU wishes they hadn't fired him. Or not. LolHe was key to Iowa's turnound in the 1980's under Fry along with a ridiculous coaching staff. His turnaround at KSU might be the greatest coaching job of all time.
We probably won't get any updates if his injury reports are any indication.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Carl Jackson looks like he probably was a huge hit with the co-eds.. dude looks like he invented swag
According to this report, he is expected to make a full recovery.

I was going to save my 2000th post for something selfish I realize now. Instead, I think I will use it to wish him the best.
Don't know about that... as soon as Bear Bryant retired, didn't he die within a year? Same thing with Paterno... Granted, different circumstances for sure. But football is Snyder's life-blood, it may have added years to his life...
Just offering a different perspective.
If it's esophageal (which I'm assuming it is), i wouldn't say "he will be ok". Best case scenario 40% survivorship at 5 years and the overall at 5 years is 18%. I hope that's not what he was diagnosed with, but prayers to coach Snyder either way.
