Comment: See WP:AUTOBIO, WP:COI.See WP:BLP. Statements, starting with the date of birth, need to be sourced or removed. External links should also be removed or converted to inline citations where appropriate. Greenman (talk) 09:43, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This appears to be WP:TOOSOON at best. Position coaches at the FCS level are rarely notable. Currently does not pass the general notability guideline, as all of the sources, with the exception of the lone Footballscoop piece, are non-independent.

Rob Snyder (born October 12, 1992) is an American football coach and former player who is currently serving as the defensive line coach at the Nicholls State University. Snyder is known for teaching “two gap” style of defensive line play, pioneered by Pete Jenkins.
Early years
[edit]Snyder was born in Alliance, Ohio. As a child, he spent time living in Beaufort, South Carolina before moving back to Ohio. He attended Shaker Heights High School, graduating in 2011.[1]

Following the dismissal of head coach, Les Miles, and a staff rearrangement, Snyder began working closely with legendary defensive line coach, Pete Jenkins.
