This is an outstanding hire for KSU. Klieman absolutely dominated at FCS North Dakota State. He compiled a 67-6 record, and won three national titles. Those numbers aren’t a joke at all. Replacing Bill Snyder was never going to be easy, but somehow it looks like KSU managed to get the perfect replacement. (RELATED: The College Fo

In case anybody is wondering what kind of talent Klieman is capable of developing, he’s the coach that made Carson Wentz a star before people even knew who the young quarterback was.
The man took a school out in the Dakotas and turned it into a national football powerhouse. Anybody who knows anything about football knows how incredibly difficult of a task that is to get done. North Dakota isn’t exactly stacked with elite recruits.

I would be very nervous right now if I was a coach in the Big 12. Klieman is going to absolutely dominate if he manages to even have a fraction of the same success he had at NDSU.
Major props to KSU for pulling the trigger on this hire.
