Breakdown: Poor John Currie. He should commiserate with Whit Babcock at Virginia Tech. The magic of Bill Synder, 76, is clearly slipping, perhaps encapsulated by the painful image of Snyder accidentally getting wiped out by his own player in a rainstorm on the sideline at Texas this weekend.
Currie may be faced with the unenviable task of replacing a legend, as the Wildcats (3-4) are 0-4 in the Big 12 and destined for 0-5 with a game against Baylor this weekend. Currie can't simply fire Snyder, as he's meant too much to the program. Without Snyder's resuscitation of the Wildcats, there may not even be football anymore in Manhattan.
But the tricky issue here is that Snyder has made it clear that he would like for his son, special teams coordinator Sean Snyder, to replace him. Unfortunately, Bill Snyder is the only person who considers his son a viable candidate for that job. How do you plan an endgame with Bill Snyder, not give the job to his son and yet keep his long-term support? Good luck. The team, after all, plays in Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The recent $165 million facility upgrades make this job better than past decades, but geography and its meek history before Snyder still make it among the most difficult in college football. The buzz about this job opening increases by the day, but no one really knows as so much hinges on Snyder.
Their list of candidates: Troy Calhoun, Brent Venables, Sonny Dykes, Willie Fritz, Rod Carey, Doug Meacham, Mike Norvell, Chris Ash and Ed Warinner.
