Was listening to don and Kolpack podcast when the tweet popped up.
It was an interesting listen.
They had entz as hc. Vigen was in the wy fiasco so no way. They think messingham and Riley will go.
They think Tyler will stay and grant is on speed dial.
They also think hedberg will stay. Listen for yourself as they do talk about that game we have coming up. :biggrin:

We had a senior laden team that was a legitimate top 25 team.

K State was coming off a year in which they had graduated a ton of seniors who were apart of a team that at one time was #1 in the BCS.

Just saying that there were some reasons, outside of S&C coaches, which lead to this game being a win for NDSU.

Watch the last drive and their hands on their hips. They were gassed. Sure there were other reasons, but a major one in beating the humidity was conditioning, conditioning, conditioning---and salt.

Guess I will share this now that it was announced....

The wheels were in motion since late last Thursday. Klieman had informed Larsen that he was likely leaving for K State. Media reports were correct in that he WAS going to be named head coach on Friday.

Late last week, Tim Polasek flew to Fargo to interview. Other candidates were Matt Entz and Conor Riley. Polasek had told a former player that he thought he was a third option to those two.

Klieman worked closely with Larsen during this process to ensure an internal candidate remained.

I think it is 50/50 regarding Riley leaving based on the Entz hire. If Mess leaves, I am guessing Riley is here. If Mess goes, I am thinking Riley is here as OC.

No need to elaborate but he will stay.. I don’t want GO as the DC yet. Being a player and coaching a player are two different things. Let him grow 2-4 more years coaching and teaching players first. Defense is defense, it’s been the same since the beginning of football, teaching and influencing others with your own ideas is exactly an example of easier said than done.

I agree with this and hope you are right.

Whatis the pay difference between the two places I now we pay really well and of course he is an ALum and Amy's family etc etc etc.

Exactly. Keep systems in place. That is the top priority. In the playoffs, prepping for NDSU is worse than prepping for the option. You cant even simulate it. That's why we only worry about conference teams

He has been screaming at the microphone everyday saying how Brent Vigen groomed Carson Wentz into a top QB and why BV should be the HC. Now he is very upset his man crush Brent Vigen was not offered the HC job.

I like Vigen a ton and had we not retained Entz or another internal coach he would have been high on my list. It's so much easier to keep systems in place with an internal hire and Brent has gone now for 5 years.

Why are so many asking about Kramer? Taylor had a hard enough time convincing brass and supporters to accept Kleiman, there is no way Kleiman was going into that situation with leverage to clean house and bring in all his guys. This is as good as Kleiman leaving for a P5 coordinator position in terms of minimal losses to other coaches and staff.

"""BS: As we get into the details over the next few days, were there any stipulations put on Coach Klieman or any of the candidates for that matter about the current coaching staff retention?
GT: No there's not. As you go through this process, we have some really great assistants. All we told every candidate is look, we have some great staff. We encourage you to interview as many or all of them, whatever you feel your needs are, because obviously they have coaches they're familiar with and coaches that they've coached with or people they've worked with that are maybe at other institutions. But we never want to say you have to hire somebody, that puts that coach in a bad position and puts the assistants in a bad position if you think about it because they only want to work if they're wanted too. We did tell them here are our staff that we think would be great additions if you wanted to keep them but that's up to you as the head coach. There was never a stipulation on any, whether it was Coach Klieman or any of our candidates, and there were never any real financial issues. They knew exactly what the contract was going to be and those that were interested knew what our parameters were. People take jobs and don't get jobs for a lot of different reasons. """

Fact is they have some quality people. Their S&C coach is world class from what ive read and some of the KSU coaches are also studs who have great recruiting ties in OK and TX. CK could of cleaned house. But why do so when there are quality people already on staff and may be more qualified than what we have here.

We arent going to lose as many coaches as some think.

Honest question on Vigen: Is the story that GT offered him the HC gig first before Klieman not true or do people think he's changed his mind and would rather be HC at NDSU that OC at Wyoming now?

How I understood it was that Gene approached Vigen first to see if he had interest and Vigen said he didn't. Then Gene approached Klieman who didn't turn him down but didn't want to talk about it yet at that time.

So I think saying that Vigen was offered the job was premature. I'd guess that Gene would've given both Vigen and Klieman an interview if both showed interest, it's just that Vigen didn't show any interest.

He told Gene he wasn't interested and was going with Bohl from the start.:bleh:

Helped with the recruiting fiasco as he headed out the door and did no favors for NDSU.:mad:

He now sees he's on shaky ground at Wyo with an inept offense again. Changed his mind? Yeah you could say that.....:rofl:

Kudos to NDSU brass for making this hire when they did. Both coaches come out of the tunnel on Friday eve and if NDSU wins I would allow Klieman to ride off to KSU, ASAP!. Signing day Wednesday isn't doing anybody any good with two coaches looking at some of the same players and many other concerns as well. Get to work guys!!!!
So when are you finally going to accept that Klieman will be the head coach at NDSU through Frisco (as long as NDSU wins tonight)? Do you think saying the same thing 857,624 times on Bisonville about how he needs to gone ASAP is going to change anything?

He's still the head coach here as long as the 2018 season lasts. Deal with it.

The important date is Monday. Dead period after that, if I recall. I’m in the camp Klieman can get just about anyone who is on par with the skill level of the guys we’ve recruited up to this point. He’s in a much better situation than Bohl was when he went to Wyoming. Plus he has staff already recruiting guys. Worst case scenario one or two of our guys flip. We’ll be alright.

Helpful. SDSU’s DC gets $93k per year. I thought he was awful last night with how he did nothing to stop Stick. But I was curious what the difference in pay was between the two programs.

Klieman with incentives and media makes 475,000. Not sure on a DC salary but I'm sure its between 100k and 150k. Chris Kliemans contract says the assistant coaching staff salaries must be in the top 10% of the FCS nationwide.

Historically, we give new head coaches a raise. Klieman made more than Craig Bohl ever made in his 1st year

Historically, we give new head coaches a raise. Klieman made more than Craig Bohl ever made in his 1st yearWasn't bohl around 275k, 300k with bonuses etc, when he left? The article about Klieman's extension in 2016 stated he was at 280k in 2015.

So I'd guess that entz will be starting right around the $300k base salary, would assume the media deals will be where the most changes happen.

Question though does Klieman get his $50,000 longevity bonus by getting to January 5th 2019? Even though technically that is his last day I'm assuming?

Contact reads if continues to be employed as of January 5th 2019 he is to receive $50,000 bonus within 30 days. My guess is yes.

12-16-2018, 08:02 PM

Since Bohl left we have not recruited NE - or if we have we have not been successful (we have 1 player since Bohl left). Would love to see adding a coach with NE Ties. Some really good players there that helped our championship runs (most of those players are now at SDSU or USD and many are making big impacts - IE Cade Johnson).Finally somebody else chiming in on this. i would love to see NE back on the recruiting block. 6 states IMO should always be the main focal point in recruiting: ND, MN, SD, NE, WI, and IA...then hit the other states the Bison are known for. Florida, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas...with all the success the Bison have had in Florida, I'd probably throw that in with the main 6 and make it 7. Done.

Ross said in his tweet that the 3 were in addition to Jacobs. Goeser and Riley seem two logical ones considering they were the two that stuck with Klieman when Bohl moved on especially if Mess and Klanderman are both staying. As for the 3rd one... idk... beyond speculation on this board it doesn't appear there's been a lot of word on Hedberg out there recruiting like there has been for most of the other guys.

10. Matt Entz, North Dakota State: He has won two of the past three national titles at a place that has sent the past two coaches, Chris Klieman and Craig Bohl, to the FBS. With the FBS continuing to pull away from the FCS, would Entz be tempted by a Power 5 defensive-coordinator job if there are no head-coach opportunities?

Edit: for those who aren't subscribed:

One would have to assume that if he wins another one this year, FBS offers of some sort will be rolling in. If that were to happen, I wonder if he would bolt with his youngest son only having a year of HS left (pretty sure he's a junior this fall)? Hard to pass on the opportunity, though, if it's the right one.
