I love this move from Kansas State. Klieman might have only coached a grand total of 16 games so far, but the Wildcats are clearly trending in the correct direction.
After all, KSU has become a massive thorn in Oklahoma’s side since his arrival. At the very least, that’s a good enough reason for an extension.

Getting paid nearly $4 million also is a hell of a pile of money, especially when you factor in the living costs of being in Kansas.
I don’t think Klieman will be struggling to play the bills anytime soon.
