The Kansas State Wildcats are going to have themselves an interesting off-season after its postseason matchup concludes. Kansas State’s legendary head coach Bill Snyder finally announced his retirement from the program heading into bowl season. A lot of the chatter around the national, and local to the Big 12, media surrounded the overdue retirement of Snyder since his effective grip on the program seemed to be slipping. To replace Snyder, Kansas State hired the former North Dakota State Bison head coach Chris Klieman.
This news is also big for the Texas football program. Kansas State is a program that played a key role in the Big 12 picture in football in the past decade.
