Chris Klieman brings new energy, coaching style to K-State football practice

K-State coach Chris Klieman talks spring football practice By

It was hard to spot Chris Klieman when the Kansas State football team spread out for practice earlier this week.

He wasn’t standing at midfield with a whistle in his mouth, surveying drills like a CEO style head coach taking a step back to view the big picture. Nor was he dressed any differently than any other member of his coaching staff. In order to spot the new man in charge of K-State football, you almost had to know where to look.

But there Klieman was near the south end of Bill Snyder Family Stadium, working exclusively with a handful of players he wanted to try out at safety.
