Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Avery Johnson is not worried about the loss of offensive coordinator Collin Klein.
Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Avery Johnson is starting his first full season, but doing so with a different offensive coordinator.
Offensive coordinator Collin Klein, who spent more than a dozen years with the team, left to join Texas A&M's offense after the 2023 season. The good news is Johnson started just two games at the helm under Klein, meaning he wasn't fully adjusted to his system."It's still a little bit similar," Johnson said. "At the end of the day, coach Klieman has his hand on the offense and it will always be that way.
Johnson had a respectable Week 1 showing with 153 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, but he's capable of much more. The darkhorse Heisman candidate and the Wildcats take on the Tulane Green Wave Saturday.Klein left Kansas State with: "The last 14 years have been beyond special,” Klein said. “I thank God everyday for bringing me to Kansas State.” The relationships, memories, lessons, challenges and joys are too many to count.
