For the second straight season, Kansas State's offensive coordinator is getting stolen away by the Lone Star State.

K-State Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach Conor Riley will leave the Wildcats to coach in the NFL. On Friday, news broke that Riley accepted a job with the Dallas Cowboys to be their new Offensive Line coach.
