The 77-year-old Snyder has coached the Wildcats for 25 years across two different stints, amassing 202 career wins. K-State capped a 9-4 season in 2016 by beating Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl.
Snyder signed a five-year extension after the 2012 season that calls for him to become a special assistant to the athletic director when his coaching career is finished.
