WYOBISONMAN Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Has NDSU mentioned a timetable for the hire WYO? No, I think they are scrambling trying to hold Klieman......which will be tough I think. I would think Hazelton has to be tied with Klieman for the #1 shot at it. At least that is what this rube thinks....

Oxbow6 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Hazelton makes a ton of sense based on the price point and his history in Fargo. My SU buddies want him...bad.
jdub27 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Hazelton makes a ton of sense based on the price point and his history in Fargo. Is he close to having a shot at an FBS job anytime soon or would his best bet be to get one at the FCS level?
cberkas Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Scottie Hazelton isn't happening, he's the new linebackers coach at USC. edit. I miss read the article.
FargoBison Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Scottie Hazelton isn't happening, he's the new linebackers coach at USC. He is the DC at Nevada now. He got off the Lane Kiffen ship before it sunk. I listened to GT tonight and it sounded like some of the names being throw around the media aren't too far off base.
jodcon Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Scottie Hazelton isn't happening, he's the new linebackers coach at USC. I have doubts about Klieman too, very likely he'll be going with Bohl, and CAS seems to have doubts about VIgen leading the team...they're in a tough spot.
The Sicatoka Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I can't believe no one has realized this ... Those of you in the "Last Man Standing: Chapman, Taylor, or Bohl" pool who had Taylor may turn in your tickets so we can divvy out the winnings. Thank you.
jodcon Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Unconfirmed Twitter reports are saying Klieman will take over for Bohl, that would be good for the NDSU faithful.
BobIwabuchiFan Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I'm just thinking of the expectations you are going to have to live up to in Fargo if you are the new coach...pretty daunting for anyone, even a well-liked assistant is going to face very critical eyes going forward.

Most coaches have pretty good egos. But, the fans won't be overly patient for sure.
Sodbuster Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Awwww.......385 posts on a Bohl movement!

Yes, we have high expectations and want a coach who is up for the challenge. Hard to even comprehend what you may be implying. Does not UND want a coach that wants and desires to win and will accept any challenge?! Of course 4 wins is a step in the righ direction. Sorry, low blow, but deserved for that post.
nd1sufan Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Unconfirmed Twitter reports are saying Klieman will take over for Bohl, that would be good for the NDSU faithful. That would be the best possible hire for NDSU. He is the architect of the defense, could hire one of his defensive assistants as d-coordinator and could find an O-Coordinator elsewhere that would be as good as Vigen. Would also have a great chance of keeping current players and most of the committed recruits, which they have a few of with FBS offers already. Also think he would take it if offered. I don't think he left UNI to come to NDSU to be a career assistant.

Bail Bondsman on speed dial - check, Donation to Fargo Police Retirement Fund - Check, List of ciches and excuses for media - Check. Yup - appears he's up for the challenge. Gotta be rough when you come in second in every sport but one in the state. Chalk up another one this weekend. We love winning Super Bowls.
MafiaMan Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 LOL at BisoNation's twitter comment: "Those who stay will be champions." What was runner-up for that tweet? "Play like a champion today"? "Hunker down you hairy Bison"? "Roll Bison"? "War Bison"?

I don't think he left UNI to come to NDSU to be a career assistant. It is an interesting decision if Klieman is offered. I don't see it as a lock that he accepts. If his aspiration is to be a head coach at the FBS level, turning around Wyoming's defense in a couple seasons will earn him way more recognition than being successful at the FCS level in that same time frame. Also, Vigen has turned into a top notch O-cord. Its not like there are guys as good or better than him just sitting around.
WYOBISONMAN Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I am not on the Vigen bandwagon. I like CK, and I think he will get it and accept. It will be more money than he can make in WYO and if he keeps winning, a good place from which to move up. If we can't get CK, then Gene better have Scotty Hazelton on speed dial.

Also, what if takes the HC job and then he can't duplicate the success of Bohl AND Bohl does not (God forbid) turn Wyoming around? That could shut him down from moving up to FBS from the University of Agriculture and Applied Science.
UND92 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Wyoming OC staying in Wyoming. What does that mean for Vigne in Fargo???

Does not UND want a coach that wants and desires to win and will accept any challenge?! Of course 4 wins is a step in the righ direction. Sorry, low blow, but deserved for that post. I was just stating that the expectations levels are going to be slightly different at UND vs NDSU...UND is looking to get to a point in the future NDSU has already attained and NDSU wants to stay at this point knowing that it is more likely than not to drop back down. Which one would you want to be part of? Turning around a program or having to live up to a potential 3 time NC coaching staff - If I wanted some form of stability, then I would probably choose the turn-around opportunity. Plus, the unbearable expectations of the FU fans would put most into potential suicide watch! Touche!
jdub27 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Wyoming OC staying in Wyoming. What does that mean for Vigne in Fargo??? Is he actually staying on as OC though?
Feff Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Wyoming's offense wasn't a problem from what I saw of their games, they actually seemed pretty decent at times. Good choice by Bohl, imo.
mksioux Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Personally, I'd love to see NDSU have to open up the position externally to watch Taylor try and wiggle out of N.D.'s asinine hiring process, or else have to wait until mid to late January to name a coach. But it sounds like they're going to hire internally. Given how long and difficult it is to hire externally, and given the quality coordinators they have, it seems like a no-brainer to hire internally for them.
FargoBison Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Is he actually staying on as OC though? I doubt it. Bohl will bring in his own OC. He kept Gus when he took over the NDSU job but somebody else took over as DC.
