  • Captain's Corner: Looking Back On Mark Snyder
    By Jerry Rudzinski  
    Date: Apr 23, 2005

    It's been just over a week since the Buckeyes lost defensive coordinator Mark Snyder to Marshall University. The defense shouldn't miss a beat with longtime assistant Jim Heacock moving up to take Snyder's place, but Snyder accomplished some positive things while in Columbus. In today's Captain's Corner, Jerry Rudzinski discusses Snyder's time at OSU and what he will remember about the now-head coach for the Marshall Thundering Herd.  


    With all the focus on the Heacock/Fickell defense of 2005, it is easy to forget who got OSU to this point. Coach Snyder is obviously headed to Huntington to lead the Thundering Herd, but he left a real nice mark on Ohio State football in his four years at the school.

    My view of Coach Snyder is a real positive one. A few thoughts:

    The players really liked and respected him. He had great energy and made playing defense fun. Nobody would ever accuse Coach Snyder of "just going through the motions." As I watched him on the sidelines, it always appeared he was born to coach football. He is a "football guy." Players can sniff out someone that is not a "football guy." The players played hard for someone that coached hard.

  • a GREAT article... amazing how everyone except Morgantown perceives our program as being a class act.
    In the middle of Huntington, West Virginia, there is a river. Next to this river, there is a steel mill. And next to the steel mill, there's a school. In the middle of this school, there's a fountain. Each year, on the exact same day, the exact same hour, the water to this fountain is turned off. And in this moment, once every year, throughout the town, throughout the school, time stands still.

  • Great find Wolf...Very nice read.

    '79, there are more than just fans up north that don't like our program...Go ask fans in Toledo or Oxford how much of a class act we are...And in all honesty with our off the field issues we had become content and slipped a little...But I believe the energy that Coach Snides brings will be just the kick in the pants that we need to regain our rightful position...The best non BCS program in the nation...That will work for now, until bigger things cross our path in the near future.

  • Nice. Guys I am falling in love with Mark Snyder.  Not on a romantic level of course but this guy smells of success and true love for this program.  That is very attractive to hear and see. You can see the passion he has for this school and I hope he is here a very long time.  I hope he becomes the next Pruett and beyond.  I think he will as long as the school give him the tools he needs to succeed.  That is the biggest factor plus the fans coming out to support him. Those two things are key to him staying around.

    Hey, it's a kinder, gentler Herd Sports Page Thunders.  If you want to fall in love with him, who are we to criticize?   :o
