"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
— John Wooden
We can say with some certainty that Polasek makes $94,245 or less. I would hope that NDSU can offer an offensive coordinator more scratch than that. The question is whether or not Klieman has interested in Coach P and whether or not Coach P wants to come back to NDSU.
Now this is the law of the prairie
As old and as true as the sky
And the Bison that keep it will prosper
And the Bison that break it will die
As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk
This law is the final word:
For the strength of the Herd is the Bison
And the strength of the Bison is the Herd.
Nystrom makes 95k to coach linebackers and special teams. For you youngsters he was an assistant and linebacker coach here through 08
He's a Michigan guy though so may be tough to nab him. He certainly could be a good DC. So would Stanard but I would assume Bohl will consider him as a DC and probably has more cash to throw at him

Anyone else concerned about finding an OC that has experience running our style of offense?
When it's third and ten, you can take the milk drinkers and I'll take the whiskey drinkers every time. -Max McGee
“I really thought you had to run the football to control the game,” Erhardt once said. “You had to throw the football to score but had to run the football to win.” - Ron Erhardt
I think you can hire someone of a similar philosophy but maybe a different way of getting there. Our style is how Vigen evolved from purely a WCO to this hybrid of Erhardt/Perkins offense that the Patriots run and WCO. That is what it seems to me. Smashmouth football with a dink and dunk passing attack that attacks seams and eats time.
I think there are a lot of coaches who would share the philosophy that they want to eat time and have a balanced attack. Also, it should be important you let you personnel drive the play calling and not the other way around. They will find someone with that belief system but maybe a little different way of going about it.
By the way, Bill Musgrave might be looking for an OC job next year. His style would fit perfectly here.

offense will evolve. start with defense. we don't lose if they don't score
"The bird is in your hand"
Call me crazy, but I could see someone bringing in a spread offense with our returning players.
Wentz is much more of a spread QB than Jensen is
Losing Grothman (yes I know there are other FBs on the team)
Tons of talent at WR coming up
Don't get me wrong - I'd rather have any other offense than the spread, but wouldn't be surprised to see some variation of it in spring ball.
Adding an element of the spread wouldn't be too bad but completely revamping the offense would be an epic mistake. We're a TOP team and the spread would hurt that. Every team sees the spread so it's easy to prepare for. Nobody sees the West Coast so it's a real challenge on a short week, much like the veer used to be back in the day.

Klieman said it himself that the best defense is an offense that spends a ton of time on the field. I highly doubt he's going to change that just because you have talented kids at skill positions. All that does is open up the playbook a little more once the offense gets a feel for itself and a confidence about itself. I'd be willing to bet we don't see much change.

I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.
If we are going to bring Nystrom back, lets bring Breske back also. We'd have the worst defense in the conference. There is a reason we had a lot of coaches leave after the 07 season, and I hope a few of them never come back.
