Kansas State makes a bold statement with Chris Klieman’s new contract | Podcast
Did Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman sign a coach-for-life contract? Eight years and $44 million is about as long-term as it can get. And with the Wildcats coming off a Big 12 championship season, it seems like a bargain for K-State.
On today’s SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast, beat writer Kellis Robinett breaks down the deal and discusses not only the contract terms but where it ranks among Big 12 coaches — plus the statement Kansas State and Klieman made with the agreement.
Also, Robinett provides the latest on the men’s basketball transfer portal.
K-State is being considered by former Kansas center Ernest Udeh. Who else do the Wildcats and Coach Jerome Tang have on the radar?
