ESPN ticker says Klieman is going to resign at KState but nothing official yet.
Klieman to resign?
- Thread starter acoustimac
- Start date
Some family health issues going on. Amazing family so I hope everything turns out okay.
For K-state, I think that's a good move. Especially at this point in the coaching change season.
You gotta think if he works out that a guy like that will stick around a long time
This is the guy that runs Texags.com his information would be legit from the A&M side.
I bet we see a lot of these type of guys retire a lot younger in the future. They make enough to last the rest of their lives. Don't have to deal with professional student athletes and rerecruting kids every single year.
Some of these guys are just wired that they feel compelled to coach. Belichick did not need to the UNC job, his resume in the NFL is second to none, but he just can't stay away.
Jerry Kill comes to mind...that guy couldn't stay away even though it seems his doctors told him he had to!
Saw him on the Vandy sideline last week. Couldn't believe he's still in the game.
And now he has been instrumental in the build up at Vandy. He moved over from New Mexico State with Pavia and has been a great advisor for Clark Lea.
I don't care what you think of Kleiman, but he clearly knows there are more important things in life than football and you have to respect that.
I have always enjoyed his success (or lack of it when it came at the expense of ISU)! He seems like a genuine guy...IF he is retiring because he is burned out or wants to do something different...good for him! Hope everyone he cares about is healthy...but if it is just burnout...I would respect that decision completely!
I think they said his wife has cancer and that might be the reason he is stepping away.
