I thought Golesh might keep him. His defense played well despite no help from Freeze’s offense and poor qb choices.

I have seen Brohm would be next on the list. At his alma mater and his family around and from the area but maybe he has ambition for more. He can beat highly ranked teams from lower status schools but can also have bad losses.
CFB is pretty much the only sport I watch and am a junkie about lol. Other sports over the years have all fallen by the wayside.
That’s true. There is a lot of luck involved with finding the right coach. So many are now looking at what has happened at IU and are going to try to duplicate it. It’s almost guaranteed that almost all will not get there with the next coach. Sometimes things all align and you catch lightening in a bottle. The ultimate coaching copycat tree is the NFL and rarely do those copycat hires work out.
Klieman’s just 58, maybe needs a break before he comes back somewhere else, maybe the FCS. He had an emotional presser after one of the games this season.

I thought Hartline would land a much bigger job than USF
USF is a good job in the G5 and Florida has talent. He can continue his WR recruiting there. They’re looking to support the program fully too.
Not you, but fans in general don’t realize how few of these jobs there are, especially in the P4. Whether a candidate succeeds or fails, who knows but there will always be candidates worthy of the opportunity for P4 jobs and top level G5 jobs.
There’s an underestimation about the opportunities out there and an overestimation of the coaches out there and what most would take.
USF and KSU finished their searches before PSU which has been open for months. I guess they’re sticking to Aesop’s Fables…figured that would be more appropriate for Maryland but whatever haha
Chris Klieman's current contract with Kansas State runs through 2032, with an annual salary of approximately $5.25 million.
Financial Implications of Retirement
- Buyout Clause: If Klieman were to leave voluntarily, he would owe the university around $6 million unless negotiated otherwise.
He had a great record at ND State, but not as good at K- State. Very honorable of him to retire because he is not performing to the standard set. More coaches should do that!!!

20 games over .500 at KSU. 63 games over 500 at North Dakota State. Winning record in a competitive Big 12. This is a different universe. KSU isn't an easy place to win.
Tell that to the Greg fan club, who thinks he is doing great with his minimal "resources."
Tylin Oden is contacting him right now!
He seemed like a sharp guy when here, just too young and inexperienced to be taking on the OC job, especially under Ash.
Finished in 2023 for only $32.5 million. In NJ, you cannot buy a porta John for $32.5 million
Daboll is the only other name I’ve seen tied to it. Nothing with regards to Campbell. After that, who the heck knows unless they end up keeping Smith.
