Looking ahead... Who's after Klieman?

[JMB]

Isn't Brent Venables kind of a slam dunk hire for K-State? Bigtime coordinator, Kansas native who played and coached there.

I believe Ben Leber called him one of his best coaches ever...

Not with Snyder trying to leverage in his son as his successor.

Colorado fired their head coach

For the permanent job, George wants to hire a recognizable name with previous head-coaching experience, sources told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg. Possible candidates include former Oregon coach and Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin, and West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, who may be interested in making a move after the season.

Gene Taylor will be glad when this is over When you let a coach stick around way too many years because way to many people want to live in the past, that is what you get "hard feelings"... And often times others lose their jobs!!! Klieman isnt getting KSU.

[MankatoBison]

I'd GUESS that KSU's #1 Target Is Brent Venables, as he has the flashiest "Sex Appeal" to their entitled fan base. That being said, Brent is knocking down serious cash at a perennial CFP team, getting a chance at legit national championships every single year... do you think he'd want to make slightly more money to have a team that will NEVER make it to the CFP?

I dont ultimately believe that Klieman gets the HC position at KSU.. but I do know that he has a pretty stellar relationship with the Clemson Coaching staff. If Venables does indeed get hired at KSU, it wouldn't shock me in the slightest is Klieman gets hired as a DC there or (and it would be a long shot) Clemson.

My most prestigious opinion is that if Klieman leaves it'll be for a DC position some place and not as a head coach. Until then he is our head coach and I won't respond anymore until it is announced that he is in fact going to leave. Just giving a heads up.

Crap. Now I'm worried about this coaching domino effect taking out Klieman. This scenario isn't so far fetched not be be concerned about.

If that were the case he had better stay away from our recruits! Don't need a bunch of North Dakota kids heading over to play at Clemson or Kansas State.

There is some purple here but would think it would be cool for a ND kid to end up at a "Big Time" school like that.

LOL!!! I dont think that Clemson and KSU are gonna interfere with the Bison recruiting train.

Clemson gets first pick at the best of the best. They would never go to the midwest. The whole idea is laughable. Now K State is similar but geographically speaking, I could see them target a few. But Kstate has always been a majority Kansas kids with some Missouri and Texas sprinkled in
