Entz to USC, linebackers coach.

Yep. Nobody seems to be happier than Bison fans about this.

Da fuq While they‘re still in the playoffs? And isn’t that a lateral transfer at best?

He's not leaving until NDSU's season is over. Some article I glanced at (before the paywall blocked me) said that he feels his resume needs FBS recruiting experience.

Well the first thing you know Matt's an ol ball coach,
The kinfolk said "Matt move away from here"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So he loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

Jethro's going swimming in the cement pond ...



He'll be doing his laundry in style, no more warshing his clothes in the Red River.

As dal mentioned in another thread, South Carolina State chose DII Benedict head coach Chennis Berry to be their next football leader following Buddy Pough's retirement. Berry went 27-7 in 3 seasons with the Tigers, and went 22-2 over the last 2 years (they got a #1 seed both years, but got upset in the second round both times).

SC STATE has a young QB with NFL potential Andre Washington 6-4 210 they need to start looking at him as the starter for the remainder of his college career.Berry according to ppl that know him has a obvious pass happy mentality.There was another QB that caught my attention Silas Cruse 6-6 230 but he is at D2 Shaw (NC) University I wished that they had gotten their hands on him.

Klieman and Bohl each announced they were leaving during the playoffs. Thanks for the compliment, but NDSU HC is not equal to USC assistant.

Well, there have been a lot of complaints about Tyler Roehls play calling. Talk about him moving from OC to HC.

Why move him to HC if they complain about his play calling????

He's a great recruiter and former player. Coordinator with the most experience.

[dal4018]

Yes

Yes but that is not going to help on the field when it comes to play calling.

[Gil Dobie]

Fans are the ones complaining about an OC with 5 years of playoff experience and 2 championships.

What about the Montana St HC Vigen?

What about the Montana St HC Vigen?

There were a lot of complaints about Vigens play calling when he was OC at NDSU. Tim Polasek, Wyoming OC was a fan favorite in Fargo.

Fred McNair the new HC for Texas Southern

It's looking that way, according to articles, but it's apparently not official yet. Big hit to Alcorn if true.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Cosh was the OC for 2-9 Western Michigan this past season. He was the OC at Richmond the previous year, and the OC at VMI before that. Pretty underwhelming hire, IMO.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Davis was the OC across the state at Eastern Illinois. He was the OC at Albany prior to that.

The Bulldogs hired DII Tiffin head coach Cris Reisert. Reisert went 40-11 in 5 seasons with the Dragons. He had 0 playoff wins, however, as Tiffin (much like Benedict) was upset as a #1 seed in the second round this past season.

The Crusaders have taken head coach Dan Curran away from Merrimack. Curran went 53-58 in 11 seasons with the Warriors, 24-23 at the FCS level. This hire is unsurprising on one level, as Merrimack has played Holy Cross surprisingly tough each of the last 3 seasons (including an upset win in 2021).

Does he have a pass happy mentality or ground and pound?????

He was an assistant under Craig Bohl, so I would guess the ground one.

He was also OC under Klieman, so a power run game offense.

How are the players taking it? More or less opting for the transfer portal?

How has the fanbase reacted?
