I had hoped not, but given the last two seasons ...
Bubba did a lot of work to fix Mussman's mess.
That said, there's a still lot of work to be done to fix UND Football football and an OC and OL coach wasn't enough in my opinion.
Bubba took UMD to a point, as far as he could; Nielsen had to take them over the hump. I think UND is at Bubba's limits.
At this point NDSU has more than a handful of options already on staff that are better than Bubba should Klieman go. That's just objective reality.
I really hope Chris doesn't get this job, and not even because I want him to stay. Their fans are completely ripping him already. They don't want him, like at all. I get he could win them over, but jeez. Screw them.
Perhaps you haven’t been paying attention. The cupboard is already bare in Manhattan. You would know that if you had watched random quarters of football over the past two years. This staff cannot recruit and any K State fan that thinks do is either on meth or has had a severe head injury.

Interesting rumblings today on Kansas State. I've heard various candidate combinations, all with North Dakota State's Chris Klieman, most with Memphis' Mike Norvell, some with Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt. Troy's Neal Brown, I'm told, also in consideration. Brown is unique because he followed a veteran coach (Larry Blakeney) and took over a Troy program that had been struggling a bit, like Kansas State is now. He's 30-8 since 2016.
The KS money would surely be nice if money is everything, but not following a legend forced into retirement and whose staff you have to inherit and a program in need of fresh blood. This sounds like a set up to ensure the next coach fails. I would be interested to be the coach after the coach who replaced Snyder and that shouldn't take too long.
You wanta play football, any school will do; ... You wanta learn football, NDSU is for you!
