While that may be an exaggeration, its only a slight one. K-State was the worst college football program in the country and hadnt won a game in two years. Oh, how things have changed. Snyders Wildcats now are regarded as one of the top programs in the country. The Wildcats are regulars in the national rankings, share the best overall record in Big XII Conference history and own the conferences best record on the road. Through the rise to prominence since Snyders arrival in 1989, the constant has been change. There have been four athletics directors, five sports information directors, three "Voices of the Wildcats," and well over 30 assistant coaches.
