Bill Snyder finally retiring
- Thread starter Ry4Cy
- Start date
He isn’t doing bad though. By year 3 he made improvements to that program. 6-6 this year so a little bit of a down year but the two 8 win seasons before this year isn’t bad. Also, Kleiman isn’t the same person as Bohl. Doesn’t mean he can’t win at KSU. His system definitely fits KSUs style and there are more resources to recruit KSU than Wyoming.
Well no one has done squat there except the vampire. Whats Ron Prince up to these days?
It’s really more important who his assistants he hires are and where their recruiting ties are.
If you can build a Missouri Valley juggernaut in North Dakota, dominating the Mountain West isn’t an unreasonable goal. Maybe he needs more time. He had a few setbacks @ NDSU.
Recruiting Texas is overrated. Example: Our last two head coaches. Rhoads was all about Texas while Campbell has a different approach. Look how their tenures have/are turning out.
Isn't K State graduating most of there Oline? Could be a rough start for the new coach....I actually thought they would be better this year because of all that experience up front.
He was the Offensive Analyst at Michigan last season, bounced around the offenses in the NFL before that. Now he just got the gig as the head coach at Howard University.
No. Looks like K-State is hiring the NDSU coach! From the KC Star:
Kansas State is expected to announce Chris Klieman as its new football coach

Lol and he doesn’t have much in Ohio, Florida, California either. Funny you ignored the JUCO part.
If he’s going to retain some of Bill’s staff that’s also just going to add to the mess.
I think this is a strong hire for them. He's going to build in the NDSU model, so I don't know if Texas connections are quite as important. There is a reason that all those Dakota schools have gone FCS and been successful - no FCS option in Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Nebraska. Many of the top programs in every level below FBS are all in the midwest/upper midwest. (NDSU, SDSU, UNI, NWMSU, Minn St., Wisc-Whitewater, Mount Union) Upper midwest is a generally under-recruited area and he will need to develop talent, but as a clone fan I would much rather have seen them go with Littrell or some southern spread guy.
$2.3 Million per year...whew, lowest in the Big 12 by $1.2 Million...KSU definitely in the save money mode. Klieman is going to find out quick that the academic restrictions placed on recruiting in the Big 12 is far different from NDSU.
Maybe it works...better get on the recruiting quick.
A birdie in Fargo is saying that CPR will get an interview for that job. Interesting, but I doubt if he gets it.
Pff- like getting into K State has ever been difficult.
Along with Baylor, we may see a trend beginning where the Big 12 returns to smash mouth football.
Still has a house in Clear Lake.
Someone like Tracy Claeys would be a good fit.
Yeah, isn't KSU the lowest rated B12 school as far as academics?
