New Kansas State football head coach Collin Klein made his first public appearance since his introductory press conference last week, meeting with local business owners at the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours event held at Briggs Auto Wednesday evening.
Klein just got back to Manhattan earlier that day after spending the first part of the week in College Station helping Texas A&M prepare for its opening round College Football Playoff game a week from Saturday versus Miami.
“Manhattan, Kansas, is special,” Klein said. “It’s different than anywhere else in the country. I felt that as a student athlete when I was getting recruited and in my comings and goings, recruiting all over the country. That hasn’t changed, and I just truly can’t thank you guys enough for all that you do to make this place truly the best place to live in the country.”
