Is Texas A&M's next offensive coordinator already on staff?

On Wednesday, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff were entirely focused on the 2026 recruiting class, as all of the program's 26 commits officially signed with the Aggies, representing Texas A&M's future on the football field just weeks after Elko signed his six-year extension to stay put in College Station.

However, one piece of news on Early Signing Day was that second-year offensive coordinator Collin Klein is expected to take over as Kansas State's head coach after the 2025 season, when current coach Chris Klieman is expected to retire, reportedly placing Klein at the top of the list as the next replacement.

For those younger than I am, Collin Klein cemented himself as one of Kansas State's best players in program history. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist during former Texas A&M star quarterback Johnny Manziel's 2012 Heisman-winning campaign. During his early coaching years, Klein returned to K-State to serve as the team's quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator from 2017 to 2023, gaining valuable experience before moving to Texas A&M.

Over the last two years, Klein's run-heavy, multiple-scheme finished as the 20th-ranked unit, averaging over 454 yards, while redshirt sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed finished the regular season with a career high 2,932 yards, 25 touchdowns, and over 400 rushing yards and six scores.

Klein has done all he can do with the Aggies and is more than prepared to take on his next challenge as a head coach. Aside from Wednesday's news that Kansas State AD Gene Taylor has reportedly not reached out to Klein about the job, this will likely work itself out. While Klein will continue coaching during Texas A&M's CFP run, or at least one game, Elko will need to find his replacement sooner rather than later.

One name that has emerged is second-year wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins, who has not only been on the tail end of transfer wideouts KC Concepcion and Mario Craver's incredible season, but has been one of Elko's most reliable recruiters, and also served as Alabama's assistant head coach as well as the WR coach under Nick Saban for three seasons.

Wiggins currently serves as Co-OC, learning and growing to potentially become Texas A&M's next play-caller, allowing for little drop-off if and when Collin Klein departs. This is all speculation, but it is definitely something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
