Energy and toughness are already defining K-State under Collin Klein, with players praising the staff’s consistent intensity, fast-paced practices, and a fresh, high-energy culture taking hold this spring.

K-State legend Collin Klein returned to Manhattan on Friday, officially introduced at Morgan Family Arena as the Wildcats’ new head football coach.

Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman, 58, is expected to announce his retirement after seven seasons in Manhattan, ending a tenure that produced a 54-37 record, six bowl trips, and a Big 12 title.
