Born on the base. Not raised, don't currently live there either. I enjoy Grand Forks quite a lot. Such a shame we didn't go the Wyoming route and just have one state school. Alas....

Would have been a good model for both Dakotas and Montana (and probably Idaho).

Didn’t minot bankrupt the state fair 

No, an idiot that ran the foundation and took Minot country club and a few others along for the ride

Do we still need a “nose tackle” as such? Maybe just called a tackle going forward 

4 man fronts typically have a Nose and a Tackle.  Nose is more of a big body that plays a 1 Technique and a Tackle can be a bit smaller (still big) but plays in more of a 3 Technique.  So yes, there will still be a Nose.

Correct. Although the country club was going bankrupt anyway. They did find buyers for it though.

I really like the idea of 4-2-5 - it gets more size at the point of attack which is a must to be at the top level in the MVFC, plus you have flexiability on the next level.  The trick is getting the right body types.  Looking forward to seeing how the defense transitions.  Does anyone else run this defense in the MVFC as a base?

I’m guessing we will hear coaching staff announcements starting to come in this week and next. I’m excited to hear who he will be bringing in.

Based on the timeline he gave, we should be finding names out today.

Well..... that's more holdover from the old staff than I was expecting.

Agreed

Yes, but I am guessing that is it.  Otherwise, they would have been announced at the same time.  At least only 1 is defense.

I would have to watch some film on other teams, but I believe it has been a base D for NDSU for a number of years.

I would say that’s almost 100% of who I and a lot were expecting to be retained. Stepps is the one I was surprised by. 

OC probably got some say on who he wanted to keep around to help with the offense.
Kostich isn't a surprise, despite some opinions, he's a good ST coordinator and is well liked by players, parents and high school coaches, plus has a ton of connections. Adding nickelbacks to his plate will take that off of Stepps, who will just handle CB's.
Still need a safeties coach in the secondary, plus Edge, LB's and DL.
