If not, it's a vote for the status quo, an indication that fans shouldn't expect radical change — or radical improvement — for as long as Snyder remains at the helm.
Who knows if those perceptions are accurate, but public opinion is one factor Currie must consider as he surveys K-State's football future. Fans want a graceful transition, but they also want to know the program is building toward something."
