🏈 How Klein’s offensive scheme could flip the script for Avery Johnson next season
🏈 Whether we’ll see a return to Avery’s freshman-year playbook
🏈 Ideal staff hires and the tension between “K-State guys” vs. outside voices
🏈 What success looks like in Year 1… and over Klein’s entire tenure
🏈 Portal departures: How many, and how painful?
🏈 K-State opting out of a bowl game and taking a $500K hit — overreaction or smart move?
