First-year Kansas State football coordinators Sean Gleeson and Jordan Peterson said the Wildcats looked toward the NFL for inspiration when it came to how to structure new head coach Collin Klein’s inaugural coaching staff.
In the past, K-State’s coordinators have also been position coaches. Former defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman was the safeties coach for Chris Klieman, and offensive coordinators Matt Wells and Klein were in charge of the quarterbacks, while Conor Riley remained the offensive line coach after getting promoted to OC heading into the 2024-25 season.
Bill Snyder’s various coaching staffs worked under a similar model.
But Klein, along with Gleeson and Peterson, is shaking things up.
