I was going to wait until the transfer portal had settled down a bit before writing a column about it, but I’m not sure it is ever going to settle down, so today is as good of a day as any to dig into it. Let’s go! Collin Klein has completed his coaching staff with the hiring of Missouri quarterbacks coach Sean Gleeson as offensive coordinator. JM: I am not sure what to think about this hire.
