Chris Klieman to KSU for 2.3M/yr

I bet it's less than 90% but then again it says more about the ones that don't know than the hire. Did ya think Riley was a good hire because lots of people knew who he was and thought he was a good guy? LOL.
I think it is a decent hire. Wouldn't be thrilled about not having the freedom to hire my own staff
The only coach who has ever had success at KSUcks is Bill Snyder. Bill Snyder is one of the best coaches of all-time. Are you saying this guy is on par with Bill Snyder?
True, but most coaches don't work out. What % of coaches have been canned? 99%?
Coaching football is coaching football...it doesn't matter the level. The only thing that will matter is if he can recruit talent that is either comparable to what KSU has had or recruit even better talent. Then...make that talent even better once on campus.
He's a coach that will recruit the midwest hard. Gives us more competition for the 500 mile radius kids. And his style is suited to kids in the area.
How many does he have to retain?
Talked to my cousin in Moorhead and their hoping their Defensive coordinator gets the Bison Head Coaching job..
Would you say Kleiman is a better head coach than Bohl?
As of now till he is there for a couple of years I’d say NO.
The Bohl who gave up 900 yards to Colorado???Yeah, he is...
Didn’t know he suited up that day.
At least Bohl actually was a coordinator at 2 Div 1 schools.
I'm still trying to get my brain to accept the fact that some guys have 25-28-29,000 posts . . .
Good question, I think no one really knows, Bohl had some great games against Power 5 schools too, and Bohl actually built that ND program. Brian Kelly had success at Western Mich and then Cincy, which got him the Notre Dame job. Others fail miserably like Brady Hoke and Dan Hawkins, Bohl struggling... so no one really knows right now, I'd say it's a risky hire IMHO, I'd take Troy's coach or someone proven to win more games against power 5 teams.
This is a reasonable hire for KSU. I think they are going to struggle in the future, regardless of who they hired. But this is a nice gig for Kleiman, landing a P5 job without having to go through a smaller FBS school first. KU landing Miles definitely over-shadows this hire, and I’m sure KSU fans are a little nervous that they are about to be passed.
No clue. Just going off what's been said here that ksu making new coach retain some assisstants
That's a bad idea to hamstring a coach before he starts coaching your team. Snyder still has some power evidently.
Talked to a friend of mine who bleeds purple. Said AD was asked about this at press conference. Said we have some very good assistant coaches that they would like to see get an interview, but in no way would they not permit him to choose his own staff.
So I guess that's that.
didn't kst make its living on jucos? People say it's difficult to recruit to lincoln Nebraska, well lincoln is a crown Jewel compared to Manhattan Kansas. I think the days of raiding the jucos for kst is over, simply because all schools do now including bama Georgia, Ohio state just to name a few. I don't think that was the case in the late 80's early 90's, kst had there pick of the best
Klieman was there with Bohl...some think Klieman was the reason Bohl had so much success. Klieman has beat FBS teams. He'll be fine.
Kleiman has known Snyder for decades and has immense respect for him. I read somewhere today that he actually went to camps when he was a kid that Snyder put on. I don't think keeping a few assistants is a problem for him.
Multiple articles by the Manhattan Mercury sports staff and other reliable media as well as statements by the KSU AD's office have torpedoed the social media rumors that many here seem to believe that keeping any of Snyder's staff was ever included as a requirement for Klieman or any of the other candidates who were talked to about the job. If any are retained it will have been the new head coach's decision to do so.
Our current AD was actually the AD at NDSU who hired Bohl and then promoted Klieman in house when Bohl moved on. Lots of agents for coaches like to put out false info about "offers" in order to keep their clients' names "out there" as hot items on the market while also providing excuses for the reasons they either wouldn't or couldn't take a particular job offer.

I don’t necessarily agree with this but some would say being the Defensive Coordinator at Clemson playing for national championships and making over 2 million a year is a better job than being the Head Coach at Kansas State even for more money.
Venables also has a little shady history with some people in little apple.
I'm not a premium board member but it looked like, from many of the threads on there, that a lot of fans were hoping BV would get the offer and take the job. Me, I still think that the whole Stoops crew-- including Mangino and Venebles-- who Oklahoma hired away from Snyder the week before our 11-0 CCG with A&M in '98 didn't really give their all for their team knowing what it would be like to recruit against Snyder with a MNC game under his belt.
So far as I've seen though the AD is going to remain tight-lipped about who he talked with-- apparently he holed up in New York and flew the candidates in there for meetings to avoid media scrutiny. I myself think because of his previous job as AD at NDSU he was pretty set on this hire.
We're obviously not going to be able to replace Snyder, he's one of a kind. I'm an old fan from way back and remember the bad old days-- seems like most younger K-State fans, many of whom have been calling for Snyder's head for several years now-- are in for quite a shock in the next few years. I hope Klieman can keep things from going completely down the drain the way they did with Prince but I've been preparing myself for this day since the first time Snyder retired and honestly, while I'm keeping an open mind, I'm sure not expecting another Miracle in Manhattan. If we can be a 7-5 or 8-4 team year-in and year-out we should consider ourselves very lucky going into the next round of conference re-alignments.
The Kansas State AD holed up in New York and flew in candidates there for meetings to avoid media scrutiny? That sounds like something the AD of Norte Dame or Alabama might need to do. But Kansas State?
Why even tweet this if you are committed to another school, a week before signing day? Doesn't make sense to me.

The NFF awards dinner was there, so several prospective coaches were already going to be there. Good chance to talk to several without a lot of BS.
