Kansas State football has an almost entirely new coaching staff with the hiring of head coach Collin Klein. However, due to recruiting the transfer portal on arrival and getting acclimated to the facility, some coaches haven’t had time to move into a new place.

With most of their time spent watching film and working with players, coaches cared less about nice housing and more about simply having somewhere to sleep. This led to five coaches living together, a place which they called the “frat” house. 

“We jokingly call it the frat house because it’s just coaches living there,” defensive coordinator Jordan Peterson said. “There’s no reason to leave the office, like we’re just working here. And then when it’s time to go to sleep, we just go back to the house and go to bed.”

The house was given to the coaches by people that support K-State athletics, which many of the coaches have been extremely grateful for. With coaches being away from their families and not having time to move them here yet, the new fraternity brothers have had to rely on each other in the house. 

“It means a lot to us and means a lot to my family,” linebackers coach Nick Toth said. “It’s keeping me a little more sane with me not being able to see my kids and my wife, but I have a place to lay my head and do laundry.” 

While the frat house has gained a lot of attention, football remains the top priority of all the coaches. However, with most of these coaches working together for the first time, the house has provided the staff time to bond and talk strategy, which could help ease some early obstacles for the staff. 

The coaches have declined to say what goes on at the house but these coaches are becoming family over football, all while returning to their college days, living in a fraternity house.
