Chris Klieman to KSU for 2.3M/yr
- Thread starter xxUNRIVALEDxx

K-State has been pretty underwhelming for awhile, sliding back into a state familiar to what they were before Snyder got there. Maybe this guy can give them a spark, or at least take ksu for some big bucks!
Yeah, I sort of agree but at the same time I feel like it is a similar hire to Buffalo when they hired Leopold and that has worked out.
I had heard that Litrell didn't work out because he wanted to bring his staff with him while K State insisted that he keep some of the old assistants (and young Snyder) on staff. And he was like Eff that. So I'm interested in seeing how his staff shapes up. If that story is true, I don't think it will be successful to have an ex-coach micromanaging behind the scenes.
Proven winner who plays a style that is something they will need to play to be relevant in the B12. Not sexy hire but they will be better and he will get the best out of the talent he gets. Think he’ll be able to recruit there and get guys that will be good in the conference.

Ok, ok, so I exaggerated some
, but ksu still isn't gaining much traction anymore, and since this isn't considered a big hire, it shows k-state has little clout to bring in a bigger name. But, Klieman might just be the person to turn them on an upswing, you never know.
Who is that? (says 90% of the college football watching fans)
Love your boxer dog. Mine is laying in my lap despite his 80 lbs.
I think he's a good coach but if he has to take on the rest of kst staff he's screwed
Knowing kst fans since I live on Nebraskas southern boarder, yes!!
That's a good hire for K-State. The guy was 67-6 at North Dakota State and some people think it's an underwhelming hire? LOL

Ha ha, I'm glad you walked that back a bit! I was going to ask you how you old you are because you must not remember just how ridiculously terrible they were pre-Snyder.
Craig Bohl built NDSU, and he's gone 28-35 at Wyoming.
Klieman has zero FBS coaching experience. Good luck on the recruiting trail.
Good hire for them-if only because they really can't expect much better. Really, though other than Jim Tressel, the list of successful coaches at the FCS(or I-AA previously) level who have made successful transitions to the FBS level is pretty short. Craig Bohl has done OK by Wyoming standards-but his record may not have been able to cut it at a major conference school.
Really surprised they didnt go with Neal Brown from Troy. Seems like he would have been a better fit in the Big 12.
Seems like a solid hire (for K-State) to me. Real solid.
If they were a couple he is a 6.5 and K-State is a 4. He could do better IMO.

You could make the same comparison between Dan Hawkins and Chris Peterson. You never know.
We're talking about jumping up a whole level-not just going from minor conference school to major conference school. There are a few who have successfully made the jump-Jim Tressel, Jim Harbaugh and Brian Kelly(who had a couple of stops at minor conference FBS schools before being hired at Notre Dame), but many more that have not worked out.
This man's best friend until Dec 27th last year. Saddest day of my recent memory. Boy was 117 lbs at one point. Strong as a bull, but an absolute heart of gold. Lived every moment of every day wanting to make us happy. Got our next boxer boy in late March. Just turned 9 months and he's 70 lbs and crazy.
Boxers are great dogs, there only downfall is they have a short life span, which sucks
Did he play teams consistently as good Big 12 talent? Are kids going to be excited to move to Manhattan, KS for him?
Manhattan Kansas is not any different than Fargo, North Dakota.
The schools they went to eventually are a lot easier to recruit to than Manhattan.
One thing to keep in mind here-there's a difference in saying this is a great hire for KSU, and a great hire, period. I can understand saying this is a great hire for them-mainly because they really can't expect to do a whole lot better. But is this a hire that is turning heads in the Big 12 and around the country? I think you'd be hard-pressed to argue that. I hardly think the rest of the Big 12 is suddenly any more scared of them than they were before.
There was talk that Litrell didn’t like the fact that he couldn’t bring his whole staff and that he would have to keep some K State staff. I assume Jr was one.
Think back to when Devaney was brought in to UNL......K-State has been pretty underwhelming for awhile, sliding back into a state familiar to what they were before Snyder got there. Maybe this guy can give them a spark, or at least take ksu for some big bucks!

On the afternoon of September 17, 2016, in Iowa City, the legendary North Dakota State met #11 Iowa. The NDSU Defense was under the field direction of the brilliant All-American captain and middle-linebacker Nick DeLuca, formerly All-Nebraska First Team and Super-State Team middle-linebacker of the State Champion Millard North High School of Omaha. The NDSU Offense was under the field direction of the equally brilliant captain and quarterback Eston Stick, formerly All-Nebraska First Team and Super-State Team quarterback of Creighton Prep High School of Omaha.
Iowa, of course, suffered a disastrous and humiliating defeat to NDSU, but later that Fall preceded to beat Nebraska, as expected. Did the football geniuses in Lincoln ask at the time what the hell these two brilliant Omaha high school football players were doing at a university in Fargo, North Dakota? Yes, Coach Klieman knows how to recruit real talent! I have seen the great Norh Dakota State not only beat Iowa in the last decade, but also Kansas State. Thank God that the Big 10 conference has now decreed that their teams will no longer accept games with FCS teams! Nebraska will not be the next ghastly victim. v
