Kansas State's New Football Coach Wins Another National Championship: Kansas State is getting a football coach who has won four national championships. On Saturday, January 5, North Dakota State (NDSU) beat Eastern Washington 38-24, for the team's seventh NCAA championship in eight years and then bid farewell to its coach, Chris Klieman, who is taking over at Kansas State after guiding NDSU to a 69-6 record and four of its national titles and being hired at Kansas State prior to NDSU's final games of the season. Klieman is succeeding Hall of Fame coach Bill Snyder, who retired. When Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor was athletic director at North Dakota State, he promoted Klieman to head coach at the school in 2013. Klieman reportedly received a six-year deal with Kansas State, paying him $2.3 million per year with a $200,000 annual raise. Kansas State chose Klieman over Troy coach Neal Brown.
