Listen "Let’s Talk – Coach Mark Snyder on NIL Chaos, College Football’s Future, and the Legacy of We Are Marshall"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of Let’s Talk, Carl Lee, Lisa Otey, and Hollis Lewis sit down with Coach Mark Snyder — former Marshall head coach, longtime Jim Tressel assistant, defensive coordinator at Ohio State, and UFL veteran — for one of the most insightful football conversations the show has hosted. Snyder breaks down how NIL and the transfer portal have transformed coaching into an NFL-style grind, why athlete development is slipping, and why multi-sport kids still make the best players. He shares rare behind-the-scenes stories about We Are Marshall, including working with Matthew McConaughey, his personal ties to Red Dawson, and memories of the program’s rebuild. The group dives into playoff controversies, SEC bias, high-school NIL, locker-room chemistry, recruiting red flags, and the future of bowl games — a wide-ranging, thoughtful conversation about where college football is headed and what still makes it special.
