There's a reason these other guys are turning this thing down. Not sure I would want this gig either with Snyder staring over your shoulder.
If this goes down it's almost a certainty the bulk of the staff is going with. Mess and Entz are childhood friends and almost everyone has been together since the beginning, pretty tight knit group. Even Kramer would be at risk with his relationship with Klieman. The fact he stayed when Bohl left probably had a lot to do with Klieman being named the HC.
Hope Larson has a plan in place. He should have been preparing for this the last three years.
If we had to lose Klieman, Him going to Kstate would be about a best case scenario. Gene has been through the transition at our level and maybe I am naive but I don't think he would do anything to hurt us. There would be a very large pool of assistants that Klieman could pull from hopefully leaving some here for a smoother transition.
The biggest one is if Klieman succeeds at K state it just makes the NDSU job that much more desirable down the road as it shows you can jump from NDSU to P5.
Since my biggest concern is keeping our recruiting class intact through signing day. Question I have as I don't follow twitter, is this class pretty tight and have a few leaders that can lean on each other and keep it together through a new coach signing the way we had with this senior class during the last coaching transition?
