[bajadanny]

Sounds like he is waiting for someone to tell him who to hire

[Bisonator98]

Didn't learn a whole lot from that presser.

[IBleedYellow]

Cool - we called a press conference a la UND when it could have been a press release.

Cliff Note Version so please don't take this word for word.

AD: Congratulates Klieman and his family. Says NDSU is the toughest and best job in the FCS. Early signing period is making the process go faster. Reached out to recruits to say NDSU stood behind our offers to them. Next 3-4 days will interview candidates for the best option.

Question: Internal candidate the best option?
AD: It is an option and we have a very talented staff but we want the best possible person for the job. Really talented staff here.

Question: Going to use a committee?
AD: He is leaning on a small group of people to help with the process.

Question: Who does Chris think should be hired or who will go with him?
AD: Had a lot of conversations with Chris (one this morning) but won't go into detail. Chris thinks very highly of his staff.

Question: Mental list of possible candidates?
AD: From the day the AD got to NDSU he has created a mental list of possible candidates.

AD: College athletics is about relationships and boils down to trust and respect to be completely honest.

Question: Important for the next coach to have NDSU ties?
AD: Very important but not needed

Question: Salary structure?
AD: Depends where we end up. It will be similar to Klieman but it all depends.

Question: What to look for in a candidate and their coaching philosophy?
AD: Run the ball and great defense

Question: Are people reaching out to you about wanting the job?
AD: Best job in the FCS lots of people and their representation have reached out.

Question: Will Chris have any input for the head coach?
AD: 100% respect his opinion

Question: Timeline?
AD: We want the right person no matter what. We want him for the long term. If it happens before signing day great if not then that is fine.

Question: Interviews starting this week?
AD: That would be the hope.

If it is Entz (or someone else on the staff), it would be pretty bad ass if they announce by having him join Kleiman leading the team through the tunnel on Friday.

If no successful candidate, seniors only no cr lea d.c. ong...

It is pretty common to have someone stay behind that wants to be the HC.

I know. 2011 picked "everybody's gone" as the hill to die on. Of course, he's been breathlessly throwing out every theory he can over the last 48 hrs. A live look:

Give 2011 credit. He's currently batting a thousand.

I did not say everyone is gone. I said certain members are likely gone. I really think that includes Entz and Mess but time will tell.
