William David "Bill" Snyder (born October 7, 1939) is an American football coach and former player. He currently serves as the head football coach at Kansas State University. He served as head football coach at the school from 1989 to 2005, and then was rehired to the position on November 24, 2008, making him one of the few college football head coaches to have non-consecutive tenure at the same school.
Snyder is in the College Football Hall of Fame and has won several conference and national coach of the year awards. He has been the head coach at Kansas State for the program's 300th, 400th, and 500th all-time wins. In recognition of his contributions to the program, the football stadium at Kansas State, Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium, is named in honor of him and his family. As of the end of the 2016 season, Snyder's 202 wins are the third-most of any active NCAA Division I head coach.
William David Snyder was born October 7, 1939, in St. Joseph, Missouri, the son of Tom, a traveling salesman, and Marionetta Snyder. His parents divorced when he was 6; Bill and his mother moved from Salina, Kansas to St. Joseph, Missouri, where they lived in a one-room, second-floor apartment, and Marionetta worked as a sales clerk in a department store while Bill's father lived in Omaha, Nebraska. Bill attended Lafayette High School in St. Joseph, graduating in 1957.
Snyder attended the University of Missouri for one year before enrolling at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri, where he earned three letters in football for the Cardinals as a defensive back and halfback. He earned a B.A. degree from William Jewell in 1963. He earned his M.A. degree from Eastern New Mexico University in 1965.
