Kansas State is hiring Missouri quarterbacks coach Sean Gleeson as the school’s next offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
Gleeson is a veteran offensive coordinator with experience in the Big 12, as he served as Oklahoma State‘s offensive coordinator in 2019.
He also was an offensive coordinator at Princeton (2017-18) and Rutgers (2020-22). Gleeson worked at Missouri as an analyst in 2023 before being promoted to quarterbacks coach.
He’ll now return to the coordinator role under new Kansas State coach Collin Klein on his first staff.
