...Yeah I know. My point is that I don't see him leaving NDSU for a MAC/WAC/MWC job personally. Tressel stuck it out at D-IAA for years until he got his dream job. Bohl makes good money here, people like him, and if he keeps winning, the school will keep giving him money because we have it. Bohl has already been a coordinator at a "helmet school"...or did you forget? It's not going to take much for him to get a shot again. I'm not saying it's happening tomorrow or in the near future, but to say it's not possible is simple minded. If things went better at Nebraska, he would probably already have been one.

Agree. You can go to a bar anytime. Tailgating with friends is where its at.

I can only see Bohl getting an invite to a BCS conference school. And I even think if a school like Mississippi State or Vanderbilt gave him an offer, he'd turn it down. I think he would only go to a place where he could legitimately win a national championship.

he'd be incredibly stupid to turn down an offer to any sec school

It all depends on his goals and objectives. Ya take the road that will accomplish your end objective.

when the low end is at 1.2 million, he'd have to have his brainchecked if he said, thanks...but no thanks

If I remember correctly (and I probably don't), Bohl declined an interview to Mississippi State in 2008, I believe. He was on the list of possible candidates in Starkville. I don't remember if it was '08 though. It could've been the following year.
I've personally known Bohl since he became coach. I talk to him on the phone once or twice a year still. I have a sense of the kind of guy he is. The guy wants to WIN, but he wants to win in a place that already has the recources for it to happen.

Again, IF his objective is coin . . . do it.
IF his objectives happen to be other than coin . . . Just sayin'
BTW - I chose family and staying in the midwest when I faced my version of this question. It ain't all about taking in coin.
Re: 2011 Gopher Game... Let the Planning Begin
The points here re: Bohl make sense and I think it is why he is here for the long haul. For me the long haul is any scenario where the Bison are always making good playoff runs and take it all once or twice. I doubt that he'd ever leave here to go to a depressing perpetual doormat like an Indiana or Iowa State where there is zero compelling reason that this school should be the one to rise up. And schools beyond that would likely overlook an FCS coach until he has a perennial champion contender with a championship or two sprinkled in. And in that case he'd rightfully get looks at those mid-tier or better FBS schools and I think we'd all wish him well if he chose to go for it at that point (especially if he left us a coordinator or two).

No way he goes from NDSU to any national championship contender. If you think that's possible you need to watch some football.
