Kansas State probably was the all time worst football program in any Major conference. K-St's history was a sick joke back then, even compared to Vanderbilt. Even crappy KU football had much more football history than did K-St. But that one right coach turned a total nothing, the weakest of the very weak over a 70 year span, into a strange power. How could that even be possible? There is no talent in KS. Per capita, there is no more in neighbouring MO. NE plays a bit better HS football than KS, but that state is very sparsely populated and everybody wants to be Cornhusker. No halfway decent talent in bordering OK wants to be a Wildcat, or a Jayhawk. Why would anybody want to be in KS for any reason? Well, except well paid basketball players at KU.
What Snyder did was one of the best coaching jobs in history. So good that it is nearly unbelievable.
Here is an article to remind us all that even though the Big 12 has OU and Texas, and that last year TCU reached the National Championship Game, the Big 12 Champ was Kansas State. A funny thing about the legacy of a truly great coach: he leaves the situation in such shape that success will return to that program sooner rather than later.
