Kansas State hires former star quarterback Collin Klein as assistant coach

Collin Klein used to be a star quarterback at Kansas State. He will soon be in charge of developing the next one.

The Wildcats announced Tuesday they had hired Klein as their new quarterbacks coach, a move that has been met with widespread approval since it was reported over the weekend. Klein will replace longtime assistant Del Miller on Bill Snyder’s staff. Miller retired Monday after spending 20 years at K-State.

“I am eager to get to work with and develop the great young talent at K-State,” Klein said in a statement. “I am thankful to Coach Snyder for the opportunity to return to a place that I love while learning and growing under his leadership.
