Is this the end of the road for Coach Bohl at NDSU?
Could not sleep once this thought hit me; will the run at NDSU finally be over after this year?
Let's be honest, the only record he has left to claim at NDSU will fall this year when he becomes the all time win leading coach. He also has an excellent shot at a third national title. He is at the point that NDSU is going to start naming things after him... There are no more realistic lofty goals, other than seeing how long you can sustain a dynasty.
We also know he has a tremendous loyalty to Gene Taylor. I really think that is a big part of the reason he has refused to leave for second rung FBS jobs.
But, will this be it? That game on Friday rattled those BCS conference cages and gained the national spotlight. He, along with Brock Jensen, were the talk of the town. Are we naive to think a BCS conference AD/President did not take notice?
So, what say you, is this the year Coach Bohl gets a BCS offer? If so, will he take it? (I am specifically asking about BCS offers, not crap second tier FBS offers.) My goodness, what about when Coach Snyder retires again? I'd think that would be a dream job for him.

I'm sure the number of calls will go up. I have no idea if he would seriously consider them. Some people are very happy where they are. He's worked at that level and may or may not want it.
After Brad Stevens turned down several college offers he finally took one with the NBA. Bohl wouldn't jump to an NFL head coaching job but I wonder if he would consider a key assistant position. As far as I'm concerned he can do whatever he wants.

I really think that it could be, and it's hard to think of this program as a "stepping stone" to bigger and better things, but that's a possibility when you've done what Bohl's done. Now, if there were promises of a bigger stadium and him possibly leading a charge into FBS you might see him stay. If he gets offered an AQ job I have a hard time seeing him stay as they will offer between 3-5x his salary.

Considering he makes 1/10 of what some decent FBS coaches make....... Now I have anxiety!!!

There are some intangibles that Coach Bohl cannot get if he moves to other schools. Besides money
a) His wife is working here
b) His son goes to college here
c) Part2 or Part3 of Bison Football is all his brain child
d) Fans absolutely love him
He cannot get all these if he moves to a bigger school. Heck they even want him to replace Synder in K-State they dont mind he comes from a Huskie background but I dont think Coach Bohl will throw away all these just for money and some exposure on ESPN. And there is a huge risk of failure. I would take $200/300k per year for next 10 years over $2 millions for may be 2 or 3 years.

Yea IDK. He's obviously the king of the city, literally all of his family members are here, he's got it made comfortably financially and would be a contributor of possibly moving up if ever the time comes.
He's 55 too. Id be more nervous if he was 45 or 50. We'd have to be talking about a once in a lifetime job at Nebraska or another power for him to leave Fargo IMO. Even if it was Iowa St, Illinois, NC State or whatever.. I don't think he'll be persuaded that easily. Id doubt hed want to put time into an FBS stepping stone school and probably losing his shot at coaching a power if he doesn't turn that team around.
He's secured for life at NDSU.
Re: Is this the end of the road for Coach Bohl at NDSU?
I was asked about this today as well. IMO it's a Big 10 or Big 12 job or nothing. Hope he's around for a long while. Maybe he will be like Jerry Moore at App St and stick around for 20+years. Another 10-12 years would be pretty cool.

Ah I think I will wait until the end of the season to see how everything plays out. Regardless I wont worry about it.
Re: Is this the end of the road for Coach Bohl at NDSU?
Why do we have this topic come up very time we win a big game. When are people going to realize that Bohl isn't going anywhere. You don't sign an 8 year contract when you want to leave. He has had a taste of big time college football in his Nebraska days. Some coaches aspire to get there, he has been there. I think he likes the FCS and wants to build NDSU football at a constant powerhouse.
Re: Is this the end of the road for Coach Bohl at NDSU?
the question is which jobs would even open up for bohl to take? in the big10 basically everything except Illinois is safe, though that could change in nebraska. Would Illinois be enticing enough to get Bohl, or be willing to pay enough to make it happen?
the big12 doesn't offer much either. Snyder isn't getting canned, the oklahoma schools are solid, as are the texas schools. So ISU. Maybe Kansas? An SEC team sure as shit isn't going to hire an FCS coach.
