I do think both will be upgrades. Especially Orlando and if Snyder can count to 11 and field them unlike Baxter he will be an instant improvement.

Agree. Maybe coach has finally figured it out..........still holding my breath as I think the beatdown from Alabama will only be 30 points.

I've seen several reports that say Snyder was demoted. Chris Klieman is going in a new direction. Also its common knowledge Bill Snyder lobbied for him to be the next head coach and it was rebuffed. Then he had an off year in 2019 and Coach Chris Klieman reassigned him to a non coaching position.

So. Did he come here because he was a disgruntled employee without a job or did he really want to work with Clay Helton?

Same thing with Orlando. Dude was fired and humbled to an assistant position not the wonder boy DC status he had before . A guy who was demoted is an easy hire.

I do think both will be upgrades. Especially Orlando and if Snyder can count to 11 and field them unlike Baxter he will be an instant improvement.

I'm very optimistic about Todd Orlando. I see a little old school football swag in him.

Rumor in Manhattan KS from booster parents my Son knows, Snyder was demoted to off field to ST Senior Analyst and informed early in the 19’ season to find a landing spot, Chris Klieman a 4 time FCS National champion held him over in respect to his Dad.
He had all year to find a gig...basically, not much action for him...Yeah, he interviewed as stated by some here, but the proof of the pudding is he wasn’t hired by anyone...except us.

From one of the story links:

During his time tutoring the Wildcats’ special teams, the units enjoyed immense success.

The Wildcats set or tied eight school records, while 20 specialists and returners put their names at the top of the program’s record book in individual categories.

So...if by your comments, he then should have been an extremely desired candidate, yet bypassed by all other Big12 Schools where his efforts garnered such praise. We now, will have the opportunity to witness his talent....Right ?
