Kansas State offensive coordinator Andre Coleman can sum up his coaching style with one word — demanding.
“It is the little things that count,” Coleman said Monday at K-State football media day. “If you are supposed to run a route 16 yards then I want it 16, not 14. If it’s supposed to be at the bottom of the numbers I want you at the bottom of the numbers, not inside the numbers. All those little things, when you watch film, make the difference. I am a stickler for the little things.”
Perhaps that explains why Coleman can effortlessly break down the fine details of formations and the play-making capabilities of his players while also struggling to describe big-picture issues like what his offense will look like compared to what fans grew accustomed to under former coordinator Dana Dimel, who is now the head coach at UTEP
Coleman is a rookie coordinator who will call his first play next month when K-State takes on South Dakota.
