“Stack good days on top of good days, and I promise you will be pleased with the process.” That has been the message throughout the Chris Klieman era at Kansas State. And let’s just say there have been many good days stacked on top of one another.
 
Klieman, a proven winner with a championship history, was named the 35th head football coach in Kansas State history on December 10, 2018, and in three seasons he has compiled 20 wins, which are the most in school history by a head coach in their first three years. In addition to the 20 overall wins, Klieman has led the Wildcats to back-to-back victories over Oklahoma – ranked No. 5 2019 and No. 3 in 2020 – kept the Governor’s Cup trophy in Manhattan with three wins over in-state rival KU and has collected 13 Big 12 Conference wins.
 
Thanks to his 20 wins in Manhattan, Klieman holds a career head coaching record of 92-29 as his 76.0% winning percentage ranks third among current FBS coaches that have led programs for at least nine seasons, trailing only Clemson’s Dabo Swinney (80.6%) and Alabama’s Nick Saban (80.0%).
 
The latest in the line of victories was a 42-20 win over LSU in the TaxAct Texas Bowl at the end of the 2021 season, as he is the only coach in school history to send two teams to a bowl game in his first three seasons.
