Nice!  I like this hire.  Seems like a well traveled player and coach with ties to Texas recruiting and knows Kly’s defense... I hope there are more stud assistants on the way!

Norwood took another offer.  He had an option to stay.

Interesting, thanks for the info!  Hopefully Kly has a good replacement ready.

Norwood also.

Hate to see bad things happen to those invested in the program.   Sure they will land on their feet.

Yeah, I wish Norwood would have been retained.  I believe our assistants had multi-year contracts, so I hope he will get a handsome buyout.


I am really looking forward to this staff.  Kly has had a lot of assistants move from NDSU to larger programs and I hope he brings the best of those and his current NDSU staff together.

yeah, i'd be shocked if we signed keenan at this point.

Do you think he will flip to KU?

I don't know what CK can do with a guy like Herron in a power set, but i'm super happy he stay committed to us.

Me too.  I am also excited to see Holcombe is a power set... he’s a big dude.

Here is a somewhat random guess at a staff that are currently at KSU or have a connection with Kly:

DE / Co-DC: Blake Seiler
DT: Jamar Cain - Currently at Fresno St
LB / Co-DC: Scottie Hazelton - currently at Wyoming
DB / RC: Norwood
Defensive QC: Buddha Williams - Currently at NDSU

OL / OC: Tim Polasek - Currently at Iowa
RB: Kenni Burns - Currently at Minnesota
TE: Klein
WR: Jason Ray - Currently at NDSU
QB: Randy Herdberg - Currently at NDSU
Offensive QC: Courtney Messingham - Currently at NDSU (I doubt he would take this)

Special Teams: Atif Austin - Currently at NE Patriots (an assistant position coach)

Football AD BS job: Sean

Stars are just about meaningless to me.  I do get concerned when KSU signs players that didn’t have any other legit offers.  I don’t want to pre-judge a player or question the coaches; however, it seems that in today’s recruiting world it is increasingly rare to find major talent that no one else noticed.  It happens, but probably not enough to fill the majority of your class with “potential” and expect quality results.

KU only has 4 commits???? (Half are 2*)

Be careful, he visited Potter last week, McClain is on an official visit now and he has been working over Graber.  He could flip three of ours by signing day.

Recruiting to me is an separate, but important game.  Obviously you need the name and contacts to get into doors.  Seiler has hit the road hard for us, Klein has the right name for this area and Norwood has recruited OK and Texas for years.

All of that said, despite 20 less scholarships and all of the disadvantages of recruiting to Fargo, Kly has put together a team that could beat KSUs team (probably also KU, Baylor, Tech and maybe TCU).  So, I don’t think it it is fair to say that he can’t recruit.  He is clearly getting good talent and building them up.

A few non-NDSU / non-Wyoming names to follow:

Kenni Burns- RB coach at Minnesota, coached receivers for NDSU 2010-2013, https://gophersports.com/coaches.aspx?rc=144&path=football

Atif Austin - Assistant coach for the Patriots, coached receivers and special team for NDSU 2014-2016, https://www.tampabay.com/sports/high-schools/2018/05/22/former-tarpon-springs-great-atif-austin-joins-new-england-patriots-staff/

Jamar Can - Defensive line coach at Fresno State, coached DL for NDSU 2014-2015, https://gobulldogs.com/news/2017/3/23/football-jamar-cain-named-defensive-line-coach.aspx

Tim Polasek - Offensive line coach at Iowa, former RB / Offensive Coordinator at NDSU 2014-2016, https://hawkeyesports.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1700&path=football


I am sure there are many more, Kly has been around for some time and has had good coaches leave.  That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Kly kept Klein, Seiler and Norwood and mixed in 4(ish) of his current coaches as his first announcements.

man I want oscar Anderson as a grad transfer next year

Was that #8?

oscar Anderson (#8) is a senior.  That said, now that our RB core includes McCoy who may never play again, walk-in Ruff and some fullbacks, we will need some transfers and juco kids to run his offense

Regarding Klein - our QB's have been pretty awful

Yeah, my vote would be for the NDSU QB coach that developed Wentz.  However, I think Klein would be a good TE type of coach that spends a lot of time recruiting.  He is still a name that can get in most doors in Kansas and surrounding states.

Has he landed any decent recruits?

Hard to tell with the way Snyder recruited...

I can't decide if we can move the ball and score enough with Coleman/Klein........not even sure who we need in the OC spot....

Well if the choice is Coleman/Klein or a guy that Paul Rhodes had to fire, it seems like a damn easy choice.

A former NDSU OC is now the OL coach at Iowa.  He may be a good candidate.

We need a coach Dude-Bro clone

I love Barnes, but I don't see legit NFL ability. I'd prefer to be wrong.

i don't think barnes gets drafted. he's not fast or elusive
but med school might work
local KC high school player jayden russell is busy on twitter trying to get every kansas high school target to go to kansas. he's trying to flip the lawrence kids and get corcoran and others to help build kansas.
i'd like to know what these other kids think about that

Probably laughing at his no offer having ass.

Who knows, kids can be influenced.  I really hope Kleiman can hang onto Graber.  Likewise, it would be pure gold if he got Dineen to sign on.  The state of Kansas will have a good class next year, so hopefully we can secure some good KS recruits this year to help build momentum and start relationships.

Braet is worth keeping around I think.  Seiler also.  I hope Sean goes to UNC, I think it’s best for everyone if he isn’t here anymore.

He'll go back to the AD where he's comfortable.

This is what I am hoping as well.  Give him whatever role Jerry Kill had.

As for the staff, I hope he keeps Seiler, Klein and Norwood.  They seem to be our best recruiters.  Klein and Seiler will keep some Kansas - KSU ties and Norwood has some good Texas - OK ties.  All three seem like great people with the ability to coach other positions as well.

Well in any case he gone.

I believe I heard that he graduates in Dec and plans to enter the draft.  If he doesn’t go to the NFL he plans to go to med school.

Any word on Graber at Free State?  I imagine that Miles is trying to flip him and get Dineen.

If it were me I would keep:
Klein
Hickson
Seiler
Norwood
Braet


Move Sean Snyder to whatever position Jerry Kill used to have.


Also, I noticed that former Missouri WR Jason Ray is the NDSU WR coach.

Nobody else compare this to Beatty. He was a receivers coach, that was an unbelievably dumb hire.

So was Clemson HC, William Christopher "Dabo" Swinney.  Promoted to OC then HC.

Pretty risky, but he was in house so I'm guessing they knew he was special.

Yea, Vic Kornning was the DC at the time they played WVC in a Bowl they got blowen out on.  We got Vic and they promoted Dabo.

I worked for the university of South Carolina at the time, when they fired Bowden mid-season Dabo was interim head coach for the 2008 season and then promoted after the season. Dabo fired Vic, due to personal differences I believe,  and my Gamecock friends thought the days of dominating Clemson had started.

I must run with different folks... my former SC Gamecock colleagues and my California Co-workers have been texting me that they are impressed we went out and got a winner when everyone was passing on him.


Who knows if he will be successful, but his current team is better than ours even with recruiting limitations.


Give him a chance, he has a bare cupboard to start but it is a fresh start for KSU.

I haven't seen any rhane info other than blind speculation.

But if they really have interviewed 7 or 8 candidates (i don't believe that)


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I too have been a little surprised that Rhane hasn’t received more attention.  Snyder thought enough of him to keep him on v2.0 staff and he’s coached at Vandy and Penn St, most recently as the OC.  He seems like he would be a logical “dark horse” candidate.

I'm hearing some good things about the head football coach at NDSU.  I may not chop my balls off if he were offered the job.

Yep.  Me and lakes will be posting here more often.  Congrats goEMAW!

Real talk. You guys obv have a system, but I don’t see why Bizon fans wouldn’t be worried about losing this dude if he is such a stud. So why not?

Also, who is better Klieman or Bohls?

I'll be honest with you..CK did take the reins from bohl 5 years ago but he's been here the whole tenure and hes made the best program better. All of his defenses has been #1 or close to it. His team right now is top 15 in the country with his recruits.  I think theres a blueprint on ndsus success that would flourish at kstate. It all starts on the OL where he'll get those strong Kansas small town farm boys mad and gel together.

He'll hopefully scrap the stupid ass spread and get a real man's offense. CK will have coached Wentz and now Stick...one was 2nd overall and Easton is going to rocket up the draft boards because hes been a pro style his entire career...now hes calling audibles like Carson.

As an ndsu fan, CK as a coach is too good for fcs.   I haven't gone to a game all year because they've been blowouts.

I actually wouldn’t mind Klieman as a DC. I’d be pretty stoked. I mean, he could make more money at KSU as a DC.

i dont think Klieman would leave to DC unless it was for a premier program. he's got job security at NDSU for life. he's got 3 years at KState and if he can't coordinate whats given to him then the pitchfork mob is calling for his head.

 Moorehead at Mississippi State gave up his role as an FCs head coach for OC at Penn State because he knew that’s what he needed to be a P5 head coach.  Likewise, Taylor gave up his role as AD for NDSU to be an assistant at Iowa to become a P5 AD.  It seems like a logical stepping stone if that is Kleinman’s goal.... Kleinman and Seiler on defense and Norvell as a head coach and then I a excited!

Weber needs to call a timeout the second the other team shows zone... we act like a middle school team and just throw the ball around and get a turnover.
