I love seeing things like this, knowing all the haters say we have no national presence.

He has a nice dig at Shannon Sharpe posted too!
I don't know that the FCS is more relevant, but NDSU clearly is. The Bison have absolutely transcended this division of football, and the pub we are seeing is the result of that.
My long term belief is that the Bison win the next few, then get a bid that nobody dreamed was possible. I hope Kleiman sticks around for that, cuz I think the payoffs could be huge for all involved. Never thought I'd say this, but IMO losing Bohl was a good thing. I don't think we would be that lucky a 2nd time.
I think we will. When CK leaves, and someday he will, there won't be much of a search process. Either a new coach will come from within the program, come back to the program after coordinating somewhere else, or we get a rising star looking to continue building his resume. We are a stepping stone program and that is fine as long as we use it to our advantage. I could see a great defensive coach wanting to gain executive coaching experience coming here. We aren't relegated to taking much of a chance on anyone.

Thing is, Klieman has a huge advantage recruiting compared to when Bohl was building up the program. I'm not sure who the better coach is. Prior to this year I would have said Bohl but now I'm not so sure. But I will say they were both the right man at the right time.
