Bill Snyder was 69 when he returned to K-State
Who would have thought that a 69 year old coach could come out of retirement and immediately rebuild his former team back to their former glory days? I know I didn't think he could do it.
What Bill Snyder did at K-State was amazing when he was originally hired back in 1989, and it's equally amazing that he could duplicate that success when he came back in 2009. He never won the national championship, but I think the K-State fans are pretty happy he came back to try again. Someone else is 69 right now. Just sayin. |

It was awesome as long as we didnt make the playoffs. Martha was fantastic when it didn't matter. Atrocious when you wanted to be a real contender.

I miss the feeling that I had every week, that no matter who we were playing we had a great chance at winning, and a lot of weeks I knew we were going to win. There's a few whiny ****s on here that like to bitch about Marty's postseason record, and of course, we would all have liked to have had a couple of Super Bowl wins in that era...But to pretend that all the playoff losses can be laid at Marty's doorstep is ridiculous. He was one of the most hard luck playoff coaches I've ever seen. And of course the most accomplished QB he ever had to work with in his time at KC was a 90 year old Montana...

Vermeil is 75...Jimmy Johnson is 69...I'm sure we could dig up some other old dudes that had some success. Or not...
