Collin Klein's $21.5M Kansas State Contract: Details & Comparison
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Collin Klein, Kansas States head football coach, has secured a new five-year contract worth at least $21.5 million. The deal includes an average base salary of $4.3 million annually, with potential bonuses for achievements like winning a national championship or reaching the College Football Playoff semifinals. The contract also features two automatic one-year extensions if the Wildcats achieve six wins and play in a bowl game. Kleins starting salary for the 2026 season is $4.1 million, increasing by $100,000 each year until it reaches $4.5 million in 2030. The contract includes perks such as moving expenses, a vehicle fee, and a family membership to the Manhattan Country Club. If Klein leaves early, he could owe Kansas State up to $5 million, while the university would owe him 75% of his remaining base salary if they terminate his contract without cause. Despite being a first-time head coach, Kleins salary is currently on the lower end compared to his Big Twelve peers.
