Coach Bill Snyder to return for the 2018 Season.

Bill Snyder's tenure as head football coach at Kansas State will reportedly continue for at least one more season.

Per K-StateOnline.com, Snyder intends to coach the Wildcats in 2018.

Speculation about Kansas State's head-coaching situation has gone on through the course of the 2017 season.

College football reporter Brett McMurphy reported on Nov. 16 Jim Leavitt had a verbal agreement with the school to be the coach in waiting and take over for Snyder in 2018, but Snyder vetoed the deal because he wants his son to take over the program.

The 78-year-old Snyder, who is the oldest FBS head coach, announced in February that he was being treated for throat cancer but coached all season.

Snyder has been the head coach at Kansas State for 26 years over two stints from 1989-2005 and 2009-17. He has a 209-110-1 career record with two Big 12 championships in 2003 and 2012.

The Wildcats went 7-5 in 2017 and will play UCLA in the Cactus Bowl on Dec. 26.

Got a ways to go to catch JoPa. He's still the best thing to ever hit that football program.

As long as CBS is is producing, feels good and wants to coach, he should stay at KSU as long as he wants. He took a team that won 3 or less games for what seemed like forever and made them respectable. If we all remember our history class, things did not go so well when he retired the first time from KSU.

Good for him . Hell no one else can win there .. what he’s been able to do there is nothing short of amazing..

When he leaves KSU will fade into oblivion.

Seems when the oldies retire they pass not love after , so coach on .
