"I have a strong belief and my preference is Sean," LHC Bill Snyder told ESPN last year. "He knows more about our football program than anyone. He runs our program."
That was last year, but I doubt LHCBS has changed his mind. As many have alluded to about this on varied forums, he has never steered us wrong. If that remains coach’s belief is there any reason we feel compelled to doubt he knows what is best for the program? Do we all of a sudden believe he has a reason to undermine his legacy, just for ego satisfaction?
Others have advised against it, apparently at their peril. There is a battle inside the walls of the K-State administrative and football offices that has raged for years, according to several sources.
I know that Currie was dead set against it, and that makes me think hiring Sean is the right choice for just that reason. But I do wonder what does the “others” know that we standing on the outside may not be privy to?
Along with the likes of Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden, a couple of years ago Snyder became one of the four active coaches ever inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Why these 2 comparisons were made gives me reason for hesitation. We know how both ended which was not well, albeit Jimbo Fisher as Head Coach in Waiting did eventually get FSU back on the right track. As also indicated, this program is so well run now, it could go 2 years without LHCBS at the helm assuming the person taking over continues to run the program in the right direction.
One final note on the article that should have everyone worried is the perils that this conference once the GOR agreement gets closer to the end. The history of K-State football puts us in a precarious situations. We CANNOT afford to take a step backward. In fact if anything this program needs to be prepared to go to the next level or find itself in mid-major conference should the Big XII dissolve. JMHO
