From my limited memory...

Pruett wanted Larry Kueck (our OC at the time) to be the head coach...not Snyder.
The Gibson's promised a large donation to Marshall, including money in purchase new turf for the football field, if Marshall hired Snyder.

Marshall needing money and pissed that Pruett would just suddenly retire, hired Snyder.

Snyder was not ready to be a head coach...maybe in a few years he would have been ready.

However, I think Snyder would have done a better job in the new-Conference USA than Doc.
Snyder had some good players and coaches...he also had some bad ones...and let a few get out of hand.

Mike...Go Herd!!!

Larry Kueck wasn't exactly a "hot property" after coaching with Pruett at MU.  Believe he ended up in a Texas high school not long after his tenure in H-town.
