K-State Football Officially Names Collin Klein Program's Next Head Coach
Klein returns to lead Wildcats after serving as Texas A&M offensive coordinator; his five-year contract averages $4.3 million, marking a new era for Kansas State football.
- Kansas State University named Collin Klein head coach on Thursday, bringing back the 2012 Heisman Trophy finalist and longtime Wildcats assistant to Manhattan.
- Following Chris Klieman's Wednesday retirement after seven seasons, Kansas State hired Collin Klein, who previously served as offensive coordinator and helped win a Big 12 title.
- Klein's deal is a five-year contract averaging $4.3 million annually, but Kansas State disclosed only limited details and the Capital-Journal will seek the full contract.
- Klein will be introduced Friday at Morgan Family Arena with doors opening at 3 p.m. and the ceremony at 4 p.m., and he will continue with Texas A&M through its postseason.
- After two strong offensive seasons at Texas A&M, Klein's offenses rank in the top 30 nationally and Wildcat fans were rejuvenated after a disappointing 2025 season.
