I get what you're saying but MAC > FCS in the minds of most people.

Minnesota is bound to make a good hire with the candidates available. Any of these hires could hurt NDSU

But Fleck is the "Darling" of college coaches right now and at the FBS level.

He actually has made a pretty quick rise up the coaching ranks and coached under Jerry Kill at Northern Illinois.

He is that dense... or trolling.
If you were going to say "What hurts NDSU the most", it would be:
1. Losing Klieman - I really like him as a coach and changing coaches always sucks (or, at least, is a dicey proposition.)
2. The others are seem neutral for NDSU. For example, Bohl at MN means that WY would have an even harder time competing for recruits in NDSU's recruiting area. NDSU's success depends 100x more on competence of our guys than on the incompetence of the MN staff.
Re: Klieman a possible candidate for Gophers job
I am actually surprised at the reaction on the Gopher board to the possibility of hiring coach K. Some are opposed, but there is surprising support and a resignation that he may be the best that they can do given the circumstances.

Re: Klieman a possible candidate for Gophers job
I'm not even sure losing Klieman to UM would be a terrible thing. Sure the staff upheaval and retaining our kids and style of play would be a worry. But on the other hand I could see Klieman helping us on some kids that wouldn't be a good fit at Minny for whatever reason. We rarely compete with the Gophers head to head on most recruits and I don't see that changing unless we go FBS.

How old is Bohl though? I know he can coach, but how does he do with boosters and fundraising?
58. At least a decade left of coaching.
Aparently pretty good. They ponied up a lot of money for him.
Re: Klieman a possible candidate for Gophers job
I have a hard time believing the Ad at Minn doesnt already have someone in mind and probably did before they axed claeys yesterday. Which leads me to believe a deal is already done, or the AD knows the candidate.
