K-State defensive ends coach Blake Seiler leaving Wildcats for West Virginia

The Kansas State football team once again has an opening on its coaching staff.

Blake Seiler, a former K-State player who has worked for the Wildcats as an assistant in various capacities since 2009, is leaving to become the linebackers coach at West Virginia.

Pete Thamel, of Yahoo! Sports, first reported the news.

Seiler’s departure is a surprising and significant loss for the Wildcats. Seiler spent last season as defensive coordinator under Bill Snyder, and Seiler was set to coach defensive ends next season under new coach Chris Klieman.
