UND92,96

Nothing has been in the media indicating that he has.

Elson had some early success as head coach at Western Kentucky, but the wheels really fell off in his last two years: http://en.wikipedia....iki/David_Elson Of course, given the timing (FBS transition), I guess that's not entirely surprising.

Admittedly I didn't spend much time on it, but I tried to find the source for the alleged requirement to keep a job posting open for X number of day, and was not successful. Has anybody else found it?

No matter who Faison picks, there are going to be big question marks. This is an incredibly inexact science. When even Florida and USC can badly miss on a coaching hire, you can imagine how tough it is at this level.

I believe this group of seniors has only one non-conference road win period, and that was at Longwood two years ago. I am referring to true road games, and not neutral site ones.

Taylor just announced Bohl will finish season at NDSU.

Honest question, because I really don't know--when is the last time Taylor conducted a national search in a major sport and made an unquestionably good hire? Has it happened since Bohl (who was his second choice after Terry Allen as I recall)?

I think Bohl would finish the season, if asked, out of loyalty to his players. We'll know after this afternoon's press conference whether Taylor agrees. It still sounds very up-in-the-air at this point.

He hasn't even been through a full recruiting season there, so it's impossible to judge him in that regard. Weber was a terrible team, but again it's tough to put much of the blame on him for that given the short period of time he was there. One thing I will say is that if he doesn't get either the Weber St. or UND head coaching jobs, he might have to be content being an assistant somewhere for the next several years.

It's kind of a nightmare situation if you're Taylor. I suspect he would like to just push Bohl out the door now, but that could possibly mean trying to finish out the playoffs seriously under-staffed. But the recruiting conflict of interest issue isn't going away. Bohl isn't going to take the next month off from recruiting for his new school.

My apologies if this has been previously linked in this thread, but here is an Oregonian column from one year ago speculating as to whether Pflugrad was even employable anymore: http://www.oregonliv...ssistant_r.html Obviously he did find a job shortly after this was written, albeit one that would have been considered well below him a year or so before. If he were to get the UND job, that would be quite a reversal of fortune in a short period of time.

From twitter this morning, there are reports that Bohl has offered assistant jobs to five current NDSU assistants, including Klieman and Vigen, and that "at this time", he plans to continue coaching NDSU through the playoffs. Seems like a huge conflict of interest in terms of recruiting, though.

Replace "Bohl" with "Lennon", and you're describing UND circa 2007...

Agreed. I think some were focusing too much on his stats from last year. That team was loaded, and this year he will really show what he can do.

Casper newspaper is now confirming Bohl to Wyoming.

Apple Valley won, but Crandall had 23.

Per Izzo, Wyoming has called a 6 PM press conference for tomorrow.

The fact that WDAY can't get ahold of Bohl says a lot.

I can think of worse timing for a coach to leave.

I just figured we'd see something like "Report: Bohl to Wyoming" which cited the story already on multiple outlets. EDIT: It's now on the Forum site: http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/420539/

Still no mention of it on the fargo forum site. Probably in denial.

Not if they hire from within.

I would be shocked if NDSU doesn't promote from within. Hopefully that works out as well for them as it did for us.

I suppose it makes perfect sense for him to leave now given the fact that this senior class is going to be impossible to replace. If not now, it may never happen. I just figured it would be for a place like Kansas St.

Just saw that on twitter. If true, that would be a shock. I figured it would take a Big 12 or Big 10 job to get him out of Fargo.
