[Bison 4 Life]

NO NO NO NO.

Dear FBS Schools - Craig Bohl would be a terrible addition to your team. As a matter of fact, he doesn't even exist.

Purely out of selfishness, I hope ZERO ADs see this article! CB has absolutely earned an opportunity at the next level.

Ultimately, that's our only hope.

I highly doubt any AD is going to be oblivious to the fact that the top 4 FCS teams in the nation have solid coaches. And to think some Joe Schmucks blog with 9 views would have any impact on the landscape of the coaching world is laughable. Especially when all he did was stack rank the coaches based on team ranking.

[WYOBISONMAN]

I really think that if NDSU makes a solid playoff run it will get almost impossible to hang on to Bohl. And, it surely is not because Bohl is not loyal to the Bison....he surely is. But, there will be so damn much money out there for him to make that it would be clearly in his best interest to jump for the big cash. How can a person turn down the chance of a lifetime. I would not be surprised to see Bohl offered in the $1,000,000 per year range. And......he would be damn well worth it.

[KTF]

I think Bohl only goes if he can find another NDSU "style of program". By that I mean football is "the King Sport". Not too many middle of the road jobs that would pay in that range that are true football first schools. I believe that is why he and the Gophers didn't connect. Would the likes of a nebraska, michigan, ohio state, florida, texas, etc... come calling.. I think he needs to win at least 2 more titles for that to happen...

I agree with this, but Coach Bohl will only take a job as the head coach of a major FBS football school. Big Ten, Big 12, Pac 12, SEC, some ACC schools (not Duke for instance), and a couple of Big East schools. I mean Bohl only makes circa $ 200,000 /year so if the million dollar job at a big time school with football tradition shows up sure CB will take it.

His BASE is $200k, he makes closer to $400k after his percentage of gate, playoff games, etc.

I think this is Bohl's lifetime job, frankly. His kid just started school/football at MSUM, his wife is well established here....I'm telling you guys, he's here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. He's already been near the pinnacle of college football, I think he realizes how quickly you can fall out of favor at a major program. Here, as long as he keeps us in competitive, with a playoff, he's the king of the town. He won't leave for anything other than a program that builds itself. I can guarantee his mindset has changed since he was last in contention for the Minnesota job. I think he likes developing coaches and players here, and his paycheck is far from small. You know he made good money at NU, so I don't think he's hurting financially so he needs the big pay day for retirement. But hey, what do I know.

[344Johnson]

Honestly, if he left, it would suck. But if NDSU became a school known for getting guys head coaching jobs at major FBS schools, I would imagine it would be a good thing.

Hope he stays and continues to succeed.

I thought that CB's total comp package was in the $400,000+ range now. Pretty good living in Fargo. Does KSU have a replacement for Bill Snyder?? That would be a good fit. Football first school, small town/big college environment, and a strong program under Snyder. Maybe Snyder is going to coach for another few year, but that was my first thought.

Remember that Coach Bohl has nearly been there done that before. Perhaps people might consider the
fact that he may NOT want to do it again.

Also, Bohl took a bunch of crap from Nebraska when they at least partially made him a scapegoat at the time of firing. Just don't know if he wants that kind of stress / headache for any kind of money. Now if Bohl would just get his offense in any sort of way close to as good as his defense NDSU could beat all but the top 20 teams in FBS football.

LOL-->As they say, never pass up an opportunity, as you never know when you may not get another one.

My favorite SDBison comment (he made it several times on third down) from SDSU game: "Vigen is setting up a punt"!! LOL several times on that one.

Extend Bohl save program!!!!!!

Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, and all the big dog coaches are going to make over a million. Nick Saban is at 2.5 million. No brainer if he's offered a job like that, he's gone with no hard feelings. I would actually be happy for him.

When you get to the lower to middle tier FBS Conferences like Mountain West, Conference USA, Sunbelt, WAC, and MAC, the payouts range from $250K to 1 million for Colorado State, BYU, and Wyoming (record payout at Wyoming BTW)

If Bohl continues to win, he will continue to get paid. He's already near the top of the FCS. I don't think he would leave unless the payout is approaching a million. Actually the teams that concern me would be the likes of Wyoming, Colorado, or Colorado State. The problem with those jobs (ask Joe Glenn) is the likelihood of doing well and getting canned is high.

Bohl is a rock star here. He's a perfect fit and a midwest type of guy. I think he genuinely likes NDSU and he has midwest roots. He can stay here forever. That's not a bad deal for either.

The good news is we are no longer in the D2 era. I remember being upset when we would lose coaches to Montana State and now we pay more than they do. We are now a premier FCS job.

If he were to leave, we would be alright as long as he wouldn't clean house and take all the coaches with him. Just like in our glory days, you keep the same system in place and promote from within. I would imagine a guy like (in no particular order) Polasek, Cooper, Fuchs, or Klieman would be great. Or find a guy with Bison history and pride like Hazleton or Phil Hanson. (or a guy like Todd Wash) I'm not worried either way. Bohl said it best, the Bison were great before I got here and will be long after I'm gone.

[NDSUstudent]

Maybe Bohl has found his niche right here at NDSU. Jerry Moore did at App State, so it isn't like coaches that have success at this level always move on.

[MN_BISON]

Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, and all the big dog coaches are going to make over a million. Nick Saban is at 2.5 million.

Not that it really matters, but Sabin makes in the range of 5.62 million a year.

I meant to say 5.2 million but it must have been an old link. Have a case of lesdixia

[NDSU1980]

You really have to ask, did Bohl make the program successful, or did the program make Bohl successful?

We've had a 50 year history of a quality program here. The Babich years can probably be blamed on no support from higher up, and that changed back with the help of Gene Taylor and Joe Chapman.

I firmly believe the program made Bohl what he is and not every program out there can do that for him and he knows it. Besides, how many programs will tolerate a 3-8 when your making $1 million plus?

would Bohl go to Colorado? Theyre in a good major conference and it wasnt to long ago that they were a very good program

or is he waiting to take us to FBS? could happen

[On_the_road]

That is an interesting question. Bohl would have similar proximity to his family. It would be a program that he could develop, but I just think that he and his wife like Fargo and NDSU. Additionally his son is now attending MSU.

[EndZoneQB]

This could be true as well. Take us FBS, then retire? I mean, a few more years here and I'd guess he's got a nice little nest egg to enjoy his life with his new hot wife.

[moundbz]

Bohl is waiting for the Nebraska job and nothing else. He's got a great thing going here in the meantime. That's his dream job.

Colorado, where dreams go to die.

Well you gotta admit, its probably his dream job or at least was before he was fired. But yeah, no way he ends up back at Nebraska

[SDSUAlum08]

Stig should be up there because he does more with less.

[Larz]

The only guy that could possibly get him the job is retiring in January.

[moundbz]

You forgot the purple font.

What are you talking about

[devin45k]

Maybe he is waiting on the Edmonton Eskimos job to open :p

[TAILG8R]

Maybe he is waiting on the Edmonton Eskimos job to open :p

I heard it was actually the Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos job he wants.

[X-Factor]

The reality of the situation is that our OC coach V deserves a fat promo at another school. Maybe UNI will hire as head coach when they replace dickhead?

[PaBizon]

Why would any program hire a coach that retains an OC like Vigen? :D
