Bohl to finish season with NDSU

[MHDBisonfan]

As per Mike McFeely tweet. I guess we'll find out in an hour

[BadlandsBison]

This would make no sense for anyone involved. Just saying

[CalBison97]

I'm not sure I'd even want him to.

[Kevin]

Another tweet from McFeely:

As per @footballscoop, Bohl has offered jobs at Wyoming to five of his current staff at NDSU. Vigen, Klieman, Burns, Standard, Fuchs.

[NDSU]

As per Mike McFeely tweet. I guess we'll find out in an hour

I hope GT had CB belongings out along the curb waiting for him. I hope an asst. would at least have the integrity to stick around and play it out.

[heckler]

I'm not sure I'd even want him to.

Yup if he runs out of the tunnel I will boo.

[MNLonghorn10]

i hope the team let the Wyoming Cowboy run out of the tunnel by himself, then the rest of the NDSU bison run out together.

[Hammerhead]

I'd be happy if he stays until the playoff run is over. Let's face it, there is no good time for a coach to announce he's leaving. If he waited until January, people would bitch that he left us hanging and should have let us know earlier.

[mnriverbison]

Agreed it makes no sense, but if true a lot of long-time posters here will have some nastygrams to delete from the boards soon.

[CAS4127]

I hope he finishes out too, and also hope the assistants that are gonna leave let GT know ASAP so that a new HC is named before PO's are over.

This needs to be done correctly or this could result in a 2-3 blow for NDSU football.

[NDSUstudent]

If his replacement is on the staff there is no reason for him to coach out the playoff run.

[99Bison]

Should be interesting which assistants end up going as well. For the top assistants WY seems pretty risky since it's bottom barrel. While there's a good probability they could be the HC at NDSU. For Bohl it's about a retirement paycheck and assistants aren't going to get that. IMO Hazelton will end up at WY or NDSU out if this.

[Mesabison]

IF Coach Bohl is able to finish out the season and the championship run, my feelings about all this changes
It surely wasn't planned for the press leak...can't drop that on him.
And really, who can blame the guy. Its a H U G E promotion that me , you, and anybody else would never turn down.

Coach Bohl,
I'm glad you spent the time at NDSU that you did. You have helped make wonderful things happen in this small market way up north. I wish for you nothing but success with your new position and the next step in life.
signed,
a Bison for Life

I can't understand some of the opinions on this. I'm sure no one else would leave to another job for a 5X increase. Purple. I get the timing sucks but if he waited too long the jobs would be gone.

I'm happy for coach Bohl, he's earned it.

Moving on, we'll be just fine. Excited to see who the next coach will be.

[A1pigskin]

Good grief. If this is true, there are basically no coaches. How does this affect going into CC game this Saturday. Right now NDSU AD and President needs to have a game plan for Monday to coach the players.

[NDSUstudent]

Per Dom Izzo Bohl has left the team meeting and has no comment. GT is addressing the team now per Kolpack.

[CAS4127]

Here is something's peeps are not considering re: timing. Apparently WYO was naming its coach today regardless of who it was, so, if Bohl, then the timing of the leak really makes no dif, as it was either last night or this morning, or about a 12 hour dif.

Get Tim Polasek back in here

[jimmyptubas]

I don't think all the coaches will be leaving before the playoffs....Bohl would leave for recruiting bit maybe he will stick around as well...

[Bisonator98]

IMO GT should tell Bohl thanks but no thanks. Promote one of the coordinators now and let the others decide if they are with us or not and move on immediately. There is no way I would want a coach for another team on my staff!

[bisonmike2]

This. I'd rather we both moved on.

[heckler]

Why would you let him stay and coach the remaining games? His heart and head are elsewhere. Time to sackup and win without him.

[NDSUstudent]

Yeah I don't know how he can effectively coach two programs at the same time. I also don't know how it would work with recruiting...are you going to bring recruits in here and have them talk to a guy that is not even really the head coach anymore? It would just be an awkward situation.

[BisonFan02]

Would the players, especially the seniors or captains, have any input on this subject at the 9am meeting?

I have absolutely no issues with Bohl leaving after the season ends. As CAS said---he needs to finish what he started this year. You just dont walkout.

[GFBison]

So he can collect his bonuses!

Eff that. He is coaching another team already. He should be gone immediately!

[loudsilverado]

A lot of professional companies will immediately let a person go if they put in their 2-4 week notice, especially if they are going to a "competitor". Not unheard of, regardless of staying to finish the job mentality.

[Yellow]

Recruit tweets sure don't look promising...

The problem I have is not that he's leaving. It's that he knew what was coming and seemed to hide in a closet and let twitter break the news to his players. He doesn't owe me or anybody on this board an explanation but he sure as hell should have had enough respect towards the players, that gave him this "payday", to tell them man to MEN.

[Grizzled]

Good for him but keeping him around only hurts our recruiting for next year. If a majority of the staff goes with him are they recruiting these kids for here or WY? Same caliber recruits.

Also, this answers my question about Leevon. I noticed he got in trouble again a few weeks ago. Was worried he'd maybe miss a game.

Hall of shame worthy. Time to move this.

While true, it also happens that occasionally a CEO will announce that he is leaving one company for another in a couple of months and they let him finish out the fiscal year/quarter. Saw it happen a few times with companies I've worked for. Heck, they were even leaving for direct competitors and we let them stay on.

Maybe he doesn't start active coaching duties for UW until after the 2013 championship?

I knew Bohl wouldn't be here forever, and I'm 100 percent positive that he didn't intend for the leak to happen. It sucks that it did, but what can be said about it that hasn't already been said?

Either way I will be cheering my ass off for this team regardless of who is at the helm.

[1998braves64]

I am "happy" that he is planning to stay and finish NDSU's season (if you consider knowing a coach is leaving). I'm happy for the 2 national championships he's gotten us. Hopefully in 4 weeks it will be 3. Bohl is creating a big challenge for himself taking on 2 jobs at once. Obviously NDSU wanted him to stick around to the end of the season and seemingly he wants to finish this season from his show. I hope that recruits realize that they aren't coming here because of Bohl they're coming here because of NDSU as a program. I'm sure assistants have been offered job, but think if you take an NDSU HC job you will have the opportunity to be a HC at a FBS/BCS school if you put in a good 6-8+ years as Bohl has. So that would have to appeal to some of the assistants, even if WY job is more money how soon do you get a shot at HC job at FBS/BCS while as an assistant at a school like WY?

I know this isn't ideal and didn't seem that Bohl wanted it to go down like it did last night my guess was he was going to address the team this morning (as he did) someone did their reporter job at WY and got the news out of someone prior to when it should have been announced there, can't blame him for not having control over that.

Yes he's going for money but who wouldn't take a job for 3 times what you're making now? Not one person here.. So those saying he's greedy get off your high horse for a second and really think about that.

Congrats on moving up Bohl, good luck in WY you're going to need it.

NDSU will survive and we will continue. We support the program as a whole whoever is involved and not any one singular person.

GO BISON!

Well, this is all starting to make sense:

1. Clearly Bohl had no intention of this breaking last night; he was going to meet with the players this morning, but it broke. Social media sucks. People questioning not telling his players first were clearly out of line.
2. No doubt, he will take a lot of coaches, but why is everyone assuming Vigen and Klieman will go with him? Whoever would have an inside track at the job should stay. I would be almost prohibitive NOT to hire him. Think about it; they have a stellar recruiting class coming it and Gene/boosters will want to keep this. This is not time for an outside hire even though I am sure there will be a national search.
3. I am very glad he is staying. I have little doubt the team will rally around and finish this. It will be EPIC.

Only issue I still wonder about is timing, but as CAS stated, suspect Wyoming insisted.

[SamsRams]

Any coach that wants to coach at Wyoming next year needs to be packed and on the road in under an hour. This staying through the season helps no one and turns this into an even bigger circus act. You want Laramie.............then get gone

I'm guessing this happens fairly often. Coach takes a "better" job, assistants coach the bowl game, assistants move with head coach.

[Bison Fin]

If bohl says that its still all about 2013 bison football, I have to believe it. I think it would be worse for the team if he just packed up and left. Its just too bad that somebody slipped up and reported it before he could talk to the team.

[A1pigskin]

Do we know for a fact Coach is staying for the rest of the playoffs? I heard he is coming back on Monday but does that mean to coach the Bison or to pack up his household things? I hope it's to Coach the Bison through the rest of the playoffs.

We owe it to the guys on the team to give them the best opportunity to succeed. If you are saying that all the coaches who are going to Wyoming should go now out of spite, you have forgotten who that would hurt. Suppose the whole staff left, who would coach the team?

Roehl feeney hansen and olson. Its not spite its common semse to me. How do you motivate someone when they know you don't wanna be there. How can you let someone use your resources to recruit players to a different school.

Since he is likely offering at least some (5) assistant coaches. We probably need someone around to coach the team, unless we are going to go "Varsity Blues" on it.

[A1pigskin]

I am wondering if Bohls meeting with the WY AD today will be the deciding factor of him finishing the playoffs out or not. I am assuming here but this could be one of the questions Bohl asks. Whatever the answer that's when GT makes the announcement. This is speculation only.

I hope you decide not to go to the game and boo him, your a terrible person if you did. What kind of fan would do that.
My opinion has changed quite a bit now that he is staying until the season is over. FYI though, it is not because Bohl will be here till the playoffs are over, but because our coaching staff will remain intact until that time. My first thought was that Bohl was gone and he was going to take people with him within the first 24-48 hours and gut the coaching staff during the playoff games. So now Bohl is basically doing what any other person in life would do, and that is he is giving his 2 week notice.

[MAKBison]

Finish what you started!

Yes. If Wyoming allows him to stay with NDSU all the way to the end of the season, that tells me that Bohl made it known to Wyo that he wants to be here until the end of the season.

Agree with this 100%.

GT needs to name either Vigen or Klieman the interim head coach with opportunity to become the head coach.

Bohl staying here benefits one person and that is Craig Bohl. In my view it does nothing for NDSU but create a very awkward situation.

No doubt your recruiting work is top notch, but you need lots of help on this subject. Yeah, lets boot a staff that is basically giving 2 week notice just like 90% of the decent people do when they leave a job. You would have all the big pieces of the staff if not all of them leave five days before the next game basically guaranteeing a loss. You have some serious screws loose on this matter. The biggest fear people should have had was that Bohl and the assistants were going to do what you suggested, I know that was mine and it looked like that was going to happen. Be happy the staff is staying to the end, it gives the players a way better chance to go all the way.

Bohl needs to go. His interests are not aligned with NDSU any longer.

Time for GT to give either Klieman or Vigen a shot to step up.

Give me a defense any day. It will keep you in every ball game. Really hoping they give Klieman the opportunity if he wants it.

On a side note, we went out for dinner last night and were going to be at Lucky 13. Turns out all the assistants were there (I didn't see Bohl but didn't really notice them until we were leaving). The wait was too long for the rest in our party so we moved on. Boy, would I have loved to have been there last night when the news broke... That's the last time I let the women decide what we're doing.

Agreed. I found it weird listening to him even talk about next week's opponent when I know he is no longer part of the future of the Bison.

[EC8CH]

Bohl is done at NDSU. An interim coach should be appointed. I guess college football is business, and business is business.

Decide which assistant coach you want to try and hold onto and make a move.

[StL Bison Fan]

Bohl said at half time the players make adjustments with their respective coaches. Bohl probably should go to Wy as he is their coach now. But whatever it takes to keep the guys calling the plays and working with the players needs to be done.
Weren't there two coaches from SHSU that were going somewhere else that coached the championship game?

[Wally]

I wonder how much say the players will have in deciding whether or not Bohl stays on the sidelines for the remainder of the year. Especially the seniors.

[NDSUstudent]

Well based on Kolpack's and Dom's tweets it seemed like he talked to the players for a long time, especially the captains.

[Bison"FANatic"]

The team will figure out a way for this year but the thing that concerns me is recruiting. Its not like this is a small class. A major miss this year could set us back hugely. Hopefully Gene gets our next leadership in position to continue to reload and keep the recruits we have that have verbaled to us. It's about the program, the program the program.

[OCBison]

You'll boo?

Really?

Because the man is successful?

Wow!

[EC8CH]

Taylor should decide what's best for NDSU and make the call. Bohls decision to leave now was made based on his best interests in minds. NDSUs should be made similarly.

[Bisonwinagn]

I would leave it up to the players to decide if the coaches stay or go since they are the ones impacted. Either way is fine with me. I will be curious though how many people boo next week. Although emotions will likely change by then.

[ZHerd]

This time of year is often when FBS schools make coaching change overs, and of course Wyoming is going to announce it and try to get the new staff in and working. It just so happens that he is a good enough coach that his team routinely wins playoff games thus making there no really perfect time to do this for all parties. I really do wish him the best. He has brought many great years and memories to this program and given us not just one (which is excellent) but 2 championships, and a very fun team to watch. I appreciate the work he has put in and I really find it sad that some of you would turn on him like this and actually boo this man after the integral peice has been to this program this past decade. That is pretty shameful.

Get Polasek back here, hopefully keep Kliemann or would hazelton come back?

[HerdBot]

If keeping him on staff improves our chances of winning, keep him. If it hurts, let him leave.

[VanClubPres]

I said it on twitter and I'll say it here,

People are going to boo. After tailgating 5 hours and the emotions of the day, it is going to happen. That is why that if indeed Bohl stays, he doesn't lead the team out. I don't think the players need to hear that shit.

[bruinbison]

Found the tone of the Jeremy Jorgenson questions to Coach Bohl very interesting, as well as Coach Bohl's aswers to his status. My interpretation of his carefully chosen words were clearly putting his status right back to the person who is in charge -
Athletic Director Gene Taylor.
And, yes, GT is in charge of this decision.
So, to me it was very diplomatic on CB's part, and I was glad to hear him as willing to finish the season.
Now Gene Taylor has that tough decision to make, should CB finish the season, or have one new interim head coach, or perhaps
co-head-coaches - both coordinators handling their units.

Would there be an advantage to the new HC also then having coached the Bison to playoff success?
Someone from within the current staff, of course.
If the team wins it all, the National Championship would then be on their resume.
I remember this happening at Michigan years ago in basketball, with Steve Fischer taking over going into the NCAA's. Michigan did win it all, but Fischer's career at Michigan was still rocky after that, so I haven't a strong opinion on my own question.

Anyways, enough rambling, thanks Coach Bohl for the 11 years, and good luck in Wyoming!
And most importantly, go Bison! Ron Erhardt also left for new challenges and better paying jobs.....
And NDSU has much beloved history in the times since his storied career in Fargo.

[OCBison]

I hope the fans boo the shit out of Bohl...What a terrible person.

Come on! That's a bit extreme.

He's not a terrible person. He just had an opportunity presented to him that he though was better than the one he currently had.

Folks on this board have had no problem calling for the head of various coaches. A decision that would obviously have serious negative consequences on the coach and their family.

Now Coach Bohl makes a decision that he hopes will have a very a positive impact on his future and, yes, his bank account, and everyone gets all twitterpated and says that he's a terrible person.

College sports is a BUSINESS and these are the sorts of things that happen in business. Ya better get used to it because it's going to keep happening again and again and again.

[CAS4127]

Kolpack said it is undetermined right now...GT will make an announcement later this afternoon.

I think GT has to tell him to move on.

GT needs to get out in front of this and make some decisions. He also needs to let the players know what the hell is actually going on/gonna happen. Doing so would also benefit us fans.

Booing is not the answer. The team does not need to hear it. Coach Bohl will not deserve it. He deserves a thank you for the 11 years he did give us. It's not easy to go through change but change is inevitable it is how one handles such a change which is most important. This is a program that was built long before many of us even knew Bohl existed, it is a program that will continue long after this has passed into Bison lore. Stand and cheer for your team they deserve that much from the fans.

[HerdBot]

i wont boo, i also wouldn't cheer on Wyomings head coach either. he did well here and moved on with his life...and we do too.

I won't boo if he wants to finish the job. Last night we thought he was gone already and gutted our staff. He didn't. Hopefully lessons are learned about the power of social media. I feel better about the situation today

[td577]

Come on! That's a bit extreme.

He's not a terrible person. He just had an opportunity presented to him that he though was better than the one he currently had.

Folks on this board have had no problem calling for the head of various coaches. A decision that would obviously have serious negative consequences on the coach and their family.

Now Coach Bohl makes a decision that he hopes will have a very a positive impact on his future and, yes, his bank account, and everyone gets all twitterpated and says that he's a terrible person.

College sports is a BUSINESS and these are the sorts of things that happen in business. Ya better get used to it because it's going to keep happening again and again and again.

It only keeps happening again and again if this program is successful. That is a good thing. Until we are FBS and playing in a BCS conference, NDSU will be and should be a stepping stone for larger opportunities. While I could see Bohl doing another 10 years and retiring from here, I mostly don't want to see coaches who are satisfied with anything but trying to reach the pinnacle of their profession. This might be the pinnacle of FCS, but not the pinnacle of college coaching. Being a stepping stone can be a very good thing if handled properly. We hire coaches who are hungry and good, on the verge of great looking to leave a positive lasting mark. If CB said that was his entire gameplan here at NDSU, he followed it perfectly to land an opportunity with even greater rewards. All the while, leaving this program in better shape then how he found it 11 years ago.

[The_Sicatoka]

I'm not sure which would be a bigger distraction to your team:

- Bohl on the sideline vs. CC
- Bohl not on the sideline vs. CC

Taylor has a tough call to make.

[td577]

GT needs to get out in front of this and make some decisions. He also needs to let the players know what the hell is actually going on/gonna happen. Doing so would also benefit us fans.

I would venture to guess GT is as far in front of this as he can be with like 16 hours of notice. I would also guess he is all about getting the players on board with the plan before he goes public with his decisions. If this was 20 years ago, we would be prisoners to the waiting game because the only outlet we would have is the coffee shop and the local news. Now we get the instantaneous ability to comment 24/7 about anything while wanting everyone else to be on the same schedule. Today was a scheduled off day for the players and I am sure when they are scheduled to go back to practice, their direction will be set.

[ACECON]

Was this interview live TV or a radio broadcast? Is there a link to it?

[EC8CH]

At this stage in the season how important is Bohls presence to the success of the team?

Yes there is no good timing for coaching changes, but there is timing that would be better for NDSU and timing that would be better for Wyoming. Make no doubt in this case it is the latter and that is why it is being announced during the Bisons playoff run and not after. As of today Bohls biggest asset is as a recruiting tool for Wyoming. NDSU should cut him loose now and put their future HC on the sidelines for the rest of the season, not Wyoming's

Why let the guy who is leaving dictate the terms when his future employer dictated the announcement to be made at such a bad time for NDSU. Its a bad deal, but it has been forced by the timing that best suits Bohl and his future employer, so it is left to NDSU to make the best of it for themselves as best they can.

Sorry to see him go, but NDSU needs to look forward.

Ok, whatever routine they are on doesn't really matter. At this point, whatever their Sunday routine is can be lead by seniors.

The main point is there has to be a little more patience than expecting GT to have a plan for the fans within moments of piecing everything together on his end. Just because the internet has conditioned us for immediate response, it is perfectly reasonable to let the man develop a plan, share it with the team, and then share it with the fans and boosters. An expectation for an immediate response is very unreasonable.

I pretty much always agree with you, but I am pretty sure when you present everything to a judge you don't seriously expect an immediate response when they tell you it will come in due time. In GT we should trust. He didn't create the mess.

Roehl feeney hansen and olson. Its not spite its common semse to me. How do you motivate someone when they know you don't wanna be there. How can you let someone use your resources to recruit players to a different school.

You always give your players the resources to be successful. Your list doesnt accomplish that. The people that are in place are the reasons we are where we are. This is whats best for the team. Gutting the coaching staff does nothing but throw the team to the wolves.

You are dead on Road. This is about OUR University, Not Bohl. NDSU deserves to be cheered on as they take to the field on Saturday. No one is more irritated about how this came down than me, but while Bohl handled this poorly, that is not the fault of NDSU or our team. I am a proud alumnus of NDSU and will always cheer the Herd on!

[BisBison]

If Bohl is booed after all he's done for us I will be embarrassed beyond belief. If he wants to stay the year and the players want him to stay and GT is agreeable that means our best chance for a championship is for him to stay. (That is what we're shooting for isn't it?) Who could blame him for leaving for that kind if $$$? $1.2M more every year for the next 4 years is about $5 million by my math. He can set his family up for several generations with this. Who wouldn't take that deal? Did we really think he was going to stay forever? Grow effing up!

I will likely have strong words for anyone that boos on Saturday. Support your team, dammit.

[walknroehl]

Everyone calling for boos is NOT a Bison fan. That's plain and simple. I think you people would be butt hurt if this didn't come out until after the season too. People really aren't being fair. I get that some are upset the players found out at the same time as the rest of us but if there was a leak I can't jump on Bohl for that.

Another thing about wanting him gone now. What is technically official or "legal"? He is not WY coach officially yet. If GT says to move on now are we technically firing him or breaking our side of the contract and now have to pay him a buyout? I mean we don't have any performance reasons to fire him. Did Wyoming leak this to try stirring up drama so we would fire him and get them out of covering the $400k buyout?

These may be stupid questions of course but don't fault me I am but a lowly internet poster not a contract lawyer.

My take:

If the players want him to finish, let him, they are the ones that put in all the time working with him. Respect their decision
Bohl has done a lot for NDSU, just look at the national attention this year, this is the best time, for him, to move up. The timing just wasn't opportune.
This could be a motivating factor, to finish, undefeated, and three-peat national champions. Win it all one last time for old baldy.
Don't boo him, be classy, give him a classy sendoff. Show the country and football fans that Once a Bison, always a Bison is more than just a saying.
Recruiting, I don't know what the NCAA recruiting rules are, but if Bohl can't recruit for NDSU anymore, why can't Gene bring in a recruiting task force to retain recruits obtained under Bohl.
If the rumor pans out that Wyoming will join Big 12, Bohl is shrewd.
Bison fans all knew this day was coming. It's here.

It seems to me that WYO has basically given up a lot of recruiting opportunity so Bohl can finish out at NDSU. But, what timing and what a shit show.

[Tatanka]

Questions I have:

Who is recruiting for us then? Who would be recruiting for wyo? When do we hire a coach and his staff?

1) Damn good question
2) Good question
3) Per GT presser, he's checking into university policy and procedure, and whether or not the position needs to be opened up (which has procedure attached to it just like up at un_) or whether an "emergency hire" is an option. GT is no dummy. He's got a short list already, and the rest of the conversation is a matter of procedure.

[Bison 4 Life]

I don't think we can....it is bs......what would be the penalty?

It could be in the contract. GT doesn't seem worried.

Will we hire right away and have two teams of coaches and staff? Seems really weird.

[56BISON73]

Questions I have:

Between now and his departure. GT I am sure will talk with Bohl and find out who he will offer to go with him. GT will then talk with those coaches and find out who will be going. That will give him the information on who needs to be replaced and possibly who might be our new head coach if it comes from within.

[GradBison]

While I agree with having to recruit a different type of player, I don't think it would be any more difficult to get a kid to go to Laramie vs. Fargo. Nice area, close to a few different population centers.

Agree. We need to support the team. Period! Stay classy Bison Nation!

i wont boo, i also wouldn't cheer on Wyomings head coach either. he did well here and moved on with his life...and we do too.
Well Bohl runs out with the team, how do you plan on separating the two when you cheer them coming out of the helmet. Unless for some reason Bohl comes out before the team and is waiting for them on the sideline when they come out.

Urban Meyer left Utah around this time for Florida. He continued to coach in their bowl game vs Pitt which was a BCS game btw and they still won big. I think the reason Bohl is staying is because hes taking assistants with him. Otherwise he would be gone and Vigen or Klieman would have been named interim coach. Somebody has to coach the team. Wyoming wanted to announce their new coach for obvious reasons

There was a time when coaches never left there teams when they were playing post season.
I have always hated seeing teams have great seasons and go to a bowl with out there head coaches because they left.

Stop the booing talk, it's bush league. He's one of the most important and successful figures in NDSU history. And he's leaving. We have the unique opportunity to enjoy the next three games while being aware of the gravity of the situation. Let's check the butt-hurt at the door and cheer our lungs out for the NORTH DAKOTA STATE BISON!

FBS teams hire in December. If the coach doesn't accept, they move onto their next choice. Since NDSU is usually playing in playoffs, there would never be good timing for a coach to leave. If the team is ok with him continuing to coaching them, then so am I. The only way for a coach to leave NDSU with good timing is if we are not playing in December, I don't think I like that option.

You nailed it.

Great news - Marcus Collins just tweeted he is 100% committed to NDSU.... And wants the fans to know that.

Awesome, Bison Nation fired up.

Swaney wrote a nice article about his thoughts on Bohl.

In case anyone wants to track the plane...

why would you want to do that unless you were planning to try to shoot it down with a missle.

(Puts arm around shoulder) My friend, let me tell you little bit about bisonville.....


That flight tracker will be getting used pretty heavily by us rubes, lol.

Bohl gets 5 years @ 750k annually plus incentives....

Agree with everything but the bold.

Props to him for recognizing it's important to fans and posting that. For one thing it shows he understands it's the program and that's some good leadership for others to see.

Awesome.

Thanks for posting that.

[CivilBison96]

I am happy that he and the assistants are staying on for the duration of the playoffs, however I am in the camp that Bohl should not be the one to lead the team out of the locker room and the tunnel walk. I want to see 16 and 34 be the first ones through that door. Every game all the other coaches make it to the sidelines (and pressbox) without the crowd ever seeing them on the video boards, Bohl needs to take the same path as those assistants from this point on.

I hope if there is any evidence of boos that the crowd cheering raises their effort level to drown those idiots out.

Mr. Collins.
If you're following Bisonville, thanks for honoring your commitment and talking a bunch good Bison fans off of the ledge.

[NDSUstudent]

So is Bohl still going to be doing Bison feedback? If so we might be in for an interesting show tomorrow.

[Hammerhead]

Keep in mind that even if NDSU was in the MWC, we'd still be a stepping stone -- see Chris Peterson going from Boise State to Washington. Then again, U Dub, is a stepping stone to USC!

Only until we are in the SEC!

I take it you are enjoying watching NDSU's latest run in the playoffs. How's UNI doing? Have you guys started off season workouts yet?
