Remember the shock and awe when Bob Stoops resigned in June and Riley (his OC) was immediately appointed as head coach? Put that in context. Let's assume Bobby had some kind of control over naming his successor. Also recall that Bobby and Coach Snyder are presumed to have a good relationship and likely have talked about succession. Suppose Bobby and Coach discussed this issue. What will happen, after Spring football and game, middle of May or so, Coach calls a press conference to announce his retirement. The ONLY viable option at that point is? Guess who? Sean. Sean inherits a lot of players returning under a similar scenario as in 2017 pre-season. Sean has some success. Who is the next FB coach at KSU, other than Sean? Connect the dots.
