For the second time this offseason, Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder has decided to promote a member of his coaching staff into a coordinator position.
Blake Seiler is expected to replace Tom Hayes as the Wildcats’ defensive coordinator, according to two sources.
A former K-State defensive end, Seiler has spent his entire coaching career working under Snyder. He joined the Wildcats’ staff in 2009 as a graduate assistant and became a full-time assistant in 2013, tutoring defensive ends. He moved to linebackers last season and is now poised to lead the entire defense.
Seiler, 33, is young for a coordinator, especially under Snyder.
