New candidates emerge in K-State football coaching search as Seth Littrell drops out

The search for Bill Snyder’s replacement is at a crossroads.

One of the biggest names thought to be involved with Kansas State’s search for a new football coach has dropped out of the race, and a fresh crop of candidates has emerged to take his place.

Seth Littrell decided to remain at North Texas on Friday, which opens the door for North Dakota State coach Chris Klieman as the new potential front runner. It also gives other candidates like Memphis coach Mike Norvell and Troy’s Neal Brown a shot at the job.

It’s unclear what prompted Littrell to stay put after showing serious interest in the K-State opening.
