Klein, 34, has been Kansas State’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the previous two seasons. He’s been on the staff since 2018 after starting as a graduate assistant there.
Under Klein’s direction, Kansas State’s offense ranked No. 23 nationally in offensive yards per game at 446.1 this past season and is ranked No. 10 in scoring offense at 37.8 points per game.
He helped guide K-State to its third Big 12 title in 2022, defeating an undefeated TCU team 31-28 in the Big 12 Championship game. His offenses have shown to be dynamic and multiple, utilizing tight ends with both the run and the pass, while implementing a heavy dose of the quarterback run game.
A former K-State player and quarterback, Klein finished third in the voting for the Heisman Trophy after leading the Wildcats to an 11-1 regular season and a share of the Big 12 title back in 2012. Texas A&M fan favorite Johnny Manziel won the award that same season.
The official contract numbers have yet to be announced.
