If you were looking for someone to validate your opinion, just say that on the front end. I'm excited to see what Polasek can do. Also, how many kids has NDSU lost to the portal? Losing more kids? Have any NDSU players entered the transfer portal as a direct result of Polasek being hired?

I guess it’s your thing to always be negative about basically everything, but seriously give it a rest. A lot don’t like Lakes, but at least he has takes that aren’t f’n negative all the time.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Entz, but it was after a few years. People can disagree, and that’s fine. I could have been completely wrong.
Can you at least give him a chance and see what he does? He said it yesterday, he’s not bring in anyone that would not fit the culture or in the locker room. Or have a take that isn’t just arguing with someone for the sake of argument.
I'm sorry I triggered you. I just don't see how this answers any questions that anyone has because NO ONE can justify the above about the portal but you are 100%, I am not excited about the hire just because he was here before and knows NDSU.

Just trying to figure out what Polasek is going to do different than Entz in the portal because whatever it is didn't happen at Wyoming. Blame it on Bohl?

Just wondering. That seems to be the thing on here and on the FB groups. He loves the program. He's intense. WHAT HAS HE DONE that says he will bring anything here besides a love of the program? He ran a shit offense here. He was a line coach in Iowa and an OC in WY who had a shitty offense. I dunno.

Not sure it's going to be that drastic of a change but having a collective at his back and a good network of coaches, players, and recruits around the Midwest should help him.
Might be a good strategy. Perhaps a lot better than joining everyone else in chasing portal guys who will jump again.
Some articles out there saying P5 will take less high school kids, and focus on proven guys in the portal.
So, might be more HS talent available. We'd have to develop them and reload constantly, but it could work.

That isn't his point. His point is that people are only justifying the hire based on him loving the program.

Were the portal issues you speak of exclusively on Polasek? Do you have some intimate knowledge of the Wyoming football program that we don't?

Having passion for the product is a huge part. He's here to sell the program to the kids. Passion helps. Is he going to be the OC too?

Dude stop with the intimate knowledge. The point was how much more experience does he have than Entz? That is one of the things people are all happy about is that he is from FBS and know the portal and NIL stuff. It was WY. How much more of that did they deal with compared to us? Not saying it was on ANYONE there's fault that guys left.
