Who is the front runner to be the Coach of the Year after 2 months?

Snyder

How easy was that?

If the season ended today he might have a chance. But he won't be in the discussion when he finishes the year 7-5 or even 6-6.

I believe he will be in the discussion if he finishes with a record like that.

The last Bowl game Duke went to was in 1995! Thats what? 18 years!

Dukes bowl record is 3-5 ALL TIME

1938, 1941, 1944, 1954, 1957, 1960, 1989, 1995 Thats it 8 bowls total.

Put it this way, Duke has been to maybe 1 maybe 2 bowls in the time most of the posters on this board has been alive.

So ya

Its a huge deal and the reason I think he should be considered

I credit KSU's season to Optimus Klein.

My Top 3

1. Bill O'Brien - There's not a coach out there who has gone through what O'Brien has, and it is O'Brien's 1st year. Other programs could recruit his players and commits without interfering, and he lost some key players. He lost to a strong Ohio team and on the road vs Virginia. But since then, PSU has done better than expected.

2. Mike Riley - Last year, they went 3-9. 2 years ago they went 5-7. 3 years ago they went 8-5 (8-4 with a bowl loss). I imagine the last time they made the bowl game, this year's players were not key players. They are undefeated against a schedule that isn't easy.

3. Bill Snyder - It's probably not a huge surprise that KSU is undefeated. They have been good and had some big wins in previous years. Their QB is in Heisman talk. But K-State doesn't have a buffet of 5-stars like Notre Dame or Alabama. They don't have that tradition. Snyder has taken sub-elite talent out of high school and is having them playing at the elite level.
