Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder announced on Monday that he has been diagnosed with throat cancer.

Snyder has been in his second stint as head coach at Kansas State since 2009. He previously coached the team from 1989-2005 and retired temporarily. He has led the Wildcats to two Big 12 championships.
Despite an issue he had with Jim Mora not too long ago, Snyder is one of the most respected coaches in college football. Here’s hoping he is able to make a full recovery.
