The Kansas State Wildcats have decided they do not want Ron Prince to return as their head football coach in 2009.

“Our goal remains the same and we felt that change was necessary,” Kansas State athletic Bob Krause said.

“We want to think Coach Prince and his staff for effort. It’s one of those decisions that are difficult to make, but in the final analysis we felt this was the best course for Kansas State University.”

Prince’s career record with the Wildcats is only 16-18 but despite that he has the 2nd most wins over his first two season of any other coach in school history.

“All coaches and competitors are the same — they just want a chance to compete,” Prince said. “That’s what we attempted to do. We just ran out of time.”

Unless Bill Snyder decides to return as their head coach, I don’t see the Wildcats football team becoming relevant again anytime soon.
