Bohl/Klieman Relationship

[fbmind]

As an NDSU fan, I will always be grateful for what Craig Bohl did for the program. That said, my personal opinion of him was always that he was a great coach, but a questionable human being. Those feelings were brought to the surface again today when I read Kevin Schnepf's article in the Forum. As we all know, Bohl and Klieman did not part on amicable terms, which Schepf mentioned in this sentence in the article...

"So when Klieman declined to join Bohl in Wyoming, it was visibly noticeable the two weren’t best of buds in Frisco."

I got to thinking of that and it made me wonder just how horrible of a person Bohl must be to be mad at Klieman for not going to Wyoming. Or to put it another way, Bohl was upset that Klieman wanted to stick around and have the opportunity to be the head coach of the premiere FCS program in the country? How selfish must a person be to think that way? A decent person would be happy for someone who had spent 20 years as an assistant working his tail off to finally have this opportunity. For example, could you imagine Saul Phillips being upset that Dave Richman did not want to follow him to Ohio? No...Saul was nothing but ecstatic for Dave...which is the way that it should be.

I have read all the books that Tony Dungy has written and he talks a lot about being a mentor leader. When he coached, he did all he could to prepare his assistant's and give them the tools needed to be a head coach. Dungy wanted to do all he could to help everyone reach their goals. In fact, he talks about working with Jim Caldwell preparing him to be ready to take over his job when he retired (which Caldwell did). Dungy saw it as an honor to help others and was always happy to see them succeed and move up and on in the world of coaching.

Again, many thanks to Coach Bohl for all that he did. But I can't help but think that when coaching ends for him, it will be because of Bohl the person and not Bohl the coach and I have a feeling it won't be pretty.

Best of luck to Coach Klieman and congrats on this opportunity!

[Bisonator98]

Not this shit again. Let it go man. :facepalm:

[Herd]

When you go back View Bohl's postgamer in Frisco, and watch him respond to the TSN Guy's question, "What does coach Klieman have to do to continue the success at NDSU" . . . it was rather obvious that Bohl had a hard time with that question.

Who do I attribute the tension in the Bohl/Klieman relationship to? Well, that's too obvious to require elaboration. But to tell you the truth, I've turned the page to 2014, and I'll choose to remember the positive with the the 2011-2013 years. The players trump the coaches IMO, and I can't say anything negative about the players.

[mnriverbison]

I'd rather have a winner than a saint as HC. I don't think it makes him a horrible person at all. Bill Belichick was pissed at Eric Mangini for leaving for the Jets job. They have a personality type. It's different than the Dungy's. Fine. Win and it's all ok.



That said, did anyone else ever hear or read about Bohl being held back career wise by having a reputation of running around with the wrong guy's wife? I caught that somewhere on a Rivals site for some team who was hiring last winter and although I assumed it was typical board trash always wondered.

[Bison03]

Wow, I could not disagree with you more. I think you are showing a lot of disrespect to Bohl with your comments. Now, I am not a Bohl sympothizer, or his pr director, but I must defend him. Was I disappointed that he left? Yes. Was I mad about the timing of the announcement of taking the new job? Yes. Was I angry and confused why he did not address the team about it first? Absoulutely. But to say things like you did like "made me wonder just how horrible of a person Bohl must be" and "How selfish must a person be to think that way?" and "when coaching ends for him, it will be because of Bohl the person and not Bohl the coach and I have a feeling it won't be pretty."; I am a little surprised and wonder if you really understand. I don't know Bohl personally, pretty sure most on this board don't. I think you are taking what Schepf said as absolute fact. I think Schepf, and I'm assuming you, are somehow equating that because Bohl was upset that his defensive coordinator that oversaw the best defense in the FCS the past 2 years didn't want to join him. that they weren't good friends. That's a little bit of a stretch. Maybe he wanted a great coach like Klieman at Wyoming with him and was disappointed he didn't join him like other coaches. I don't think you can read into it that Bohl was not happy for Klieman that he will get his opportunity to be a head coach. And lets say they weren't best buddies who hung out a alot, just for a hypothetical. SO WHAT if they weren't the "best of buds"?? Are you "best buds" with every person that you work with at your job? Probably not. Do you respect them and work with them to accomplish success? I hope so. You are basing your opinions on a lot of assumptions and perceptions that you have no way of knowing, which is never a good thing to do.

The fact that Bohl made the decision to remove the lightning bolt from our helmet sticker is what pisses me off the most. We were never very good after that.

[MarkyMark]

My guess is that Bohl and Klieman had an agreement that he would follow Bohl if he took the WY job so Bohl felt betrayed when Klieman took the HC at NDSU.

At this point who cares? I really like what I see out of Klieman as far as how he carries himself with the media, his relationship with the players and early recruiting success. I liked Bohl a lot, but I feel we have another great coach.

I also heard that while out recruiting; Bohl stole 50 men....50, if it was 1.

[Ndsu84]

Bohl deserves credit because he was the leader of an awesome team, just like he would have gotten the blame otherwise.

Many times the coach has to be the SOB just to keep the group from hating on each other. In girls high school BB, if they are focused on you it keeps them from picking each other apart. Some people need help staying focused on the goal.

Hopefully Bohl is an all around great guy. That would be nice to believe.

On the other hand I sure hope coach K is not too nice to accomplish everything he wants to.

Slow news day????:facepalm:

[HerdBot]

Who cares. Do we even know the relationship was strained? When you have a current coach and a former coach on a roster, what do you expect. You have Bohl trying to get his entire staff to leave in the middle of the playoffs. Luckily he and the rest of the coaches stuck it out. We won a three peat and kept all of our verbals too. Can't possibly ask for a better scenio.

Going forward we have the same systems, same offense and defense, 5 coaches with ndsu history and experience, and we haven't lost a single player.

Outside of a few recruits thar were poached or ignored, I really don't have much to complain about. Were in the process of putting together a kiCK ass class and have stabilize d the program

Klieman turns to Bohl and says: "The Lord tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're fucked."Aye, and then Bohl and Klieman met while crossing a log over a creek, with an ensuing quarter-staff battle. Winner got the choice of taking the coaches or the next year's recruits, but not both.

Bohl or Klieman as the next 007?

[1998braves64]

Who knows what happened those couple of weeks where we had 2 head coaches. Maybe Bohl was putoff by Klieman rejecting him in a sense (a gentleman's agreement broken??) Then Klieman maybe was put off by supposed missing recruiting paperwork. I'm guessing it was an awkward 2 weeks for everyone involved. Thankfully it was players 3rd rodeo and knew what to expect.

Bohl definitely isn't a saint and everyone makes mistakes but I am sure to get to some of these HC positions you need to have a bit of selfishness in you, otherwise how would he ever escape one school to another? He wanted to move on for personal reasons (money is obvious but also career wise he wants something more). He could be an egotistical bigshot that will never publicly apologize for whatever did happen but perhaps he has had personal conversation with klieman since... Regardless it is 2014 moving on.

Who knows what happened those couple of weeks where we had 2 head coaches.Not sure if this is true, but I heard Bison Bob helped them out. He said "I will give you a hand to help you do your job, so those jerk-offs over on Bisonville quit offering their services.

The other rumor I heard was Coach Bradley had a conference call with all involved, and told them to "DO YOUR JOB!"

[KSBisonFan]

Well, ROT, I swear I saw Bohl and Klieman at taco bell the other night having beers and tacos........wait, nevermind. That was Faux coach Bohl and it was just some ice water at Burger King. Sorry. Back to the thread topic of giving people a hand with their staffs.

Yeah, raises our salaries and we will stick around....Both did what was in their best interest. So take it for what it is.

I don't know what happened in the Bohl and Klieman relationship, if anything. I don't know Bohl personally, never trusted the plastic grin, but appreciated the success of the Bison which seem appropriately credit to him.

On the other hand, Klieman's election to stay and be the HC for the Bison is very laudatory and loyal!

One thing not mentioned in this thread is the fact that is every "great" coach has a linage "tree".

The question thus is Klieman the first branch of the Bohl tree or a sprig off the Osbourne-Bohl tree?

It's obvious the "lock it now crowd" are pro-life neo-fascists supporting the gay agenda, war mongerors that support Jesse Ventura and Chris Kyle, love capitalism and communism (except on Sundays, because that's the Lord's day), don't pay taxes but want their gov't handout for their crop subsidy and extended unemployment.

I think it needs to go in the hall of shame but don't lock it.

Schenff is a pathetic person. Bohl gave us 10 years and 3 titles. He's gone. We loved it. Who cares shut up and WIN!!

Come on El Chapo, we tell the players what it matters what's inside (heart, work ethic, team, etc.) but we tell the coaches just win? I think we are better than that. I also think that you know it is true.

Bohl got paid to win and he did, and he got paid to coach young athletes into men on the football field, and he did. He also got rewarded with his efforts with a 3/4X raise at the place he wants to retire in.

Win - win for everybody.

Just win, baby. Sorry, not what my U. is about.


P. S.- Love your enthusiasm, but you are wrong on this one. It has to be more than just wins.

Is it a win when all the fans believe that the U. exists only to provide them with Sat. entertainment? Time for all of us to get a grip on what is important.

[BisonCardinal]

Here is a new game folks...it's called "Figure out who Hail bison is and what Bohl did to make him so angry." Winner gets all the knoephla soup they can handle at our tailgate spot.

I will go first: Bohl shot Hail bison's dog, threw a whiskey bottle and snowballs at the carcass, then banned the NDSU cheer team from appearing in Hail bison's living room.

Ok, I'll play. Hail bison = Mark Farley

[scottietohottie]

Just wait until the Wyoming football team runs onto the field to thunderstruck then bohl gives the speech after the game how the fans act like they are at Sunday mass. I heard their season DVD will be called those who came with will shave their brows.

Green1. Ndsu football players are upstanding, classy down to earth men that would get thier teammates back no matter what. That's the type of student athlete we should all want at NDSU

I am not sure what you're argument is. COllege football is about entertainment 2nd, and providing oppourtunities for student athletes first. Everybody won in this situaiton.

Are you saying this wasn't more about winning? Have you not seen what kind of great people Brock Jensen, Grant Olson, Marcus WIlliams, and 90% of any other Bison football player who played their careers under Bohl? They are all outstanding representatives of NDSU as well. Saying Bohl did things "the wrong way" is a definitive slam on the character of the players that have gone through the system playing for him.

[THEsocalledfan]

Come on, mods, lock this baby. it is the same old crap that was thoroughly discussed last year. Some see Bohl as the anti-Christ. Others are thankful for what he did here. Some feel both. Nothing new to learn.

[runtheoption]

thats goodSpoken like a true gun-owning, freedom hating, right-wing liberal.

You don't think Bohl put a lot of heart, work ethic and the team first for 12 years? He's a FB coach. He's paid to win games that's the bottom line. If he hadn't won games he would have been fired. It's the nature of the business and it is a business!

[Bison_Pride]

The last head coach to leave NDSU without people irrationally mad at him was Don Morton.

As long as they are from the cities and not Wisconsin, right

and you can say the same for most every thread on BB...whats your point! People are posting so obviously some find it worth while, entertaining etc. Who the hell died and made you boss!

Not the first one to suggest it......look back a ways.

[Hail bison]

OMG Hail. Say it ain't so! You would immediately be put on the top of my shit list if this were true.

Hail? Hail? JK.

Not so. I loved Rocky

[Hail bison]

Ok, I'll play. Hail bison = Mark Farley

Also wrong but I would choose to have a beer or two with Farley over Ed Schultz

[1998braves64]

but there was a good deal of controversy over that also no? Guessing some took what was stated about rocky and his players as gospel and thought good riddance.

[MAKBison]

Yeah, I know. I have been bitching the entire time....just trying to fit in :-)

[Ndsu84]

Rocky is a great guy, but he did place some blame on the athletes at the end. I never heard Bohl do that. Inniger started to look for any player to blame if he didn't get his 20 wins. His teams were pretty good at the start of the season but they'd tense up trying to play his game. Bohl's teams played like they believed in themselves and each other, and got better all season. Really something awesome to watch.

Are we only allowed to be positive? It can get pretty boring just reading rah, rah. I don't care if Bohl was a little tight with some young women. It was long ago and who wouldn't want to be? He was young too.

I'm glad Coach K has the desire to fight for the Bison. Would have been another ESPN highlight if we had some fisticuffs!

[Bison_Pride]

At some point Bohl probably asked Klieman if he was on board with moving up, if the right situation came along. Klieman probably was thinking Big 10, Big 12, even ACC, not Wyoming, so he said he was.

The Wyoming job came along and his name came up for head coach. NDSU HC > WYO DC. Bohl probably felt he was a backstabber.

Less drama than an episode of Real Housewives if you ask me.

It was a joke about me being Ed Schultz. That's why I said I loved Rocky, which I do. You are right that there was controversy.

Ah missed that! Carry on. :)

During the Post Game Press Conference after defeating BISON, Steve Fisher (San Diego State Head Coach) said he called Tim Miles and asked him for inside information about us
Watch from 7:04 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1wUgYAzKXA) , we were lucky because Tim refused to provide any inside information

However if Paul Rhoads called Craig Bohl, I can easily imagine Craig Bohl giving Paul Rhoads a photocopy of our playbook and all your little secrets to get his revenge on Coach Klieman.
