Nielson heading to FBS?

Offered Kent State Job

Heard that also, can't find anything to verify the offer yet. With Stevlor gone, I'd think he be gone, especially with the bigger $ that follow. 

Just found a piece of gossip.

Footballscoop.com

Kent State: Sources tell us that primary target Bob Nielson, the head coach at the University of South Dakota, has been offered the job. We’re told it is not a done deal at this time. Nielson led USD to an 8-5 record this year, losing in the FCS playoffs to Sam Houston State in the second round. Nielson has been at South Dakota since 2016, and prior to that was at Western Illinois (16-21 overall), and was very successful at Minnesota Duluth (100-26 overall with two perfect 15-0 national title seasons) from 1999-2012.

So footballscoop says the Kent St job has been offered to Bob Nielson of USD.  Kent Nielsen is the AD at Kent St, who was at USD through its transition.  Nelson won't have Strevelor any more, so they could go way down in performance.

Didn’t see any recruits we had offered that had committed to them but there are a few on the interests list that are being recruited by both.

We both have offers out to at least six prospects but it doesn't appear we lost any to them.

Sounds like Bob Nielson never flew to Kent State today, getting an extension and staying in SD.

Probably a good move. Kent State is one of the small fish of DI FBS G5, while USD has the potential to become a contender in DI FCS.

The grass isn't always greener on the FBS side of the fence. Even if there is a lot of that grass ($$$$$).
