Bill being Bill

That wacky Bill Snyder… He’s at it again.

Secretive as ever, the Kansas State coach bristled yesterday when asked what defense K-State is going to run – several recruits have noted it’s a 4-2-5 – and all he has spilled about the offense is that it will be “broad-based.”

Yep, this is going to be fun.

He took it a step further, though, when asked about the running back situation. Snyder suggested if the season started today – it doesn’t – Keithen Valentine would be the starter.

But then he said Logan Dold would probably be No. 2.

Which sounds fine, given all Dold did last year for the Wildcats. But a source told me that Dold has been shifted to safety, where the depth at the so-called “Wildcat” spot, the fifth defensive back that is almost another linebacker, is somewhat thin at the moment.

To paraphrase Ron Prince, that’s what I was told.

    4-2-5? That makes sense in th Big 12, but maybe not for KSU’s personnel. As Snyder said, if the Cats are deep anyplace, it’s at linebacker. Oh well, Snyder, Koening, and Cosh know what they’re doing.

    Have two people as different as Ron Prince and Bill Snyder ever held the same job?
