LINCOLN, Neb.—Tom Osborne says he admires the job Bill Snyder has done in his return to coaching at Kansas State.
Snyder never beat Osborne’s Nebraska teams in nine meetings, but he did build K-State into a Big 12 power in the 1990s. The 70-year-old Snyder stepped down after the 2005 season. In his first season since coming out of retirement, Snyder has the Wildcats one win away from the Big 12 championship game.
Nebraska and K-State play in Lincoln Saturday.
Osborne has worked with Snyder on a collaborative youth mentoring program in Nebraska and Kansas. Osborne, now Nebraska’s athletic director, said he sensed in talking with Snyder last year that Snyder missed coaching and probably would return to the sideline.
