What would you do differently?

I'd make sure I wasn't getting to Boise job first at the very least. Haha.

And, he may have done that... Who knows.

If he is really trying to steal the coaches and leaves mid playoffs he could set back the program 10 years back to our transition.
This, this is what I am worried about. If he cleans house and everyone goes we'd be just like UND with coaches... Except we like football here.

Vigen will probably stay...... he was on Babich's staff. Bohl would be crazy not to take Klieman with him. Personally, I would prefer Klieman but I wonder what a DC at Wyo would make? 200-300K?

Announce it yourself first, don't allow it to be leaked. Preferably before the playoffs start. I know that coaches are hired guns and they all eventually move on, but the timing is just ****ty.

I'm getting sick of these coaches who leave like this, especially when teams' season's are still going. Men like these have no more ethics anymore. And then on top of it we want them educating young minds?!? If any of my kids get recruited by a coach like this I will make sure they never go to school like that. Will refuse to sign the NLI as well as their FAFSA.

Feel for NDSU people.

I agree the best move probably would have been to announce before the playoffs. Gives NDSU two weeks to figure things out. No idea when they finalized the deal though.

If he announces it he can't coach...keeping it a secret is a no brainer for him...Dane thing if he told Taylor. If Taylor knew it was said he'd have told the players which would have made it public...

Bison fans shouldn't pretend to be shocked about the move. Successful coaches will always have offers to move up. I think the fact it's Wyoming and the fact that it's the playoffs is what is stunning to everyone.

Pete Roussel ‏@coachingsearch 1h (https://twitter.com/coachingsearch/status/409513735007375360) Got the tip about Craig Bohl this afternoon. Thus, my tweet, Tried to confirm it with a 2nd source for hours. Nice work by @BFeldmanCBS (https://twitter.com/BFeldmanCBS)


And early today he had obviously heard something but couldn't confirm it:

Pete Roussel ‏@coachingsearch 5h (https://twitter.com/coachingsearch/status/409460985246654464) It wouldn't surprise me if Craig Bohl emerges as the guy at Wyoming. Presser tomorrow.

Honestly any coach that talks about his team being a family is a joke. The players might feel like a family, but the Coaches care about the paycheck. It's a sad but true reality. Players can't move to any team they want without penalty, but coaches can come and go as they please.

You'd never get a job that way. A program can't afford to have a coach wait until the beginning of January to take a job. There's recruits that have to be contacted and a staff that has to be put in place. After the championship game for FCS, there's only like 2 weeks of contact allowed before Signing Day. At that point, you have a coach coming in cold with no knowledge of his recruiting needs as well.

What you are talking about is just not possible. Maybe in fairy land, but not in college football.

I have to agree with you, the timing sucks. Much harder to move in January.. still all this could have been handled much better. When coach won a NC at NDSU he makes 400kish with all the endorsements and bonuses. He will make 1.2mil (rumored 1.5-2 and private jet) at Wyoming. 3 years of that kind of money will set him up for life..

And if he some how pulls it off, he could jump to a legit team and make boatloads of money. And if he fails horribly and gets fired after 3 years, he will still have 10-15 years worth of salary at NDSU.

Rumor is the entire staff is going with him after NDSU wins the Natty or is knocked out of the playoffs. (but it is a real rumor, not one from a journalist) It allegedly comes from an assistant coaches family.

It's why you will never see a coach do/say anything other than "no comment", "just focusing on the next opponent", "dedicated to this program at this time", etc...

While I was looking for other jobs I made sure to completely cover my tracks do I didn't give my current employer a reason to terminate me. NDSU wouldn't have fired him but it would be suicide for any coach to admit he is looking at other jobs publicly. It's already used against a ton of coaches that "they are just their till the next big job"in recruiting. Imagine how hard it would be to recruit saying "I'm looking for a new job"

So you will NEVER leave a job for a higher paying one??? Give me a break. The man brought you back to back national championships and has you ready to make a run at a third. He left the program better than he found it. To say anything but thank you and good luck is wrong.

That is a ridiculous way to approach this situation.

It is what it is. Bohl goes in the radio weekly saying he wont leave and wants to stay in Fargo.
Its all bull****, and I call them like I see them.
Bohl is welcome to leave, just not like this. Its on him.
He said he would stay, broke his word. In athletics and life in general, your word is important.

It's why you will never see a coach do/say anything other than "no comment", "just focusing on the next opponent", "dedicated to this program at this time", etc...

While I was looking for other jobs I made sure to completely cover my tracks do I didn't give my current employer a reason to terminate me. NDSU wouldn't have fired him but it would be suicide for any coach to admit he is looking at other jobs publicly. It's already used against a ton of coaches that "they are just their till the next big job"in recruiting. Imagine how hard it would be to recruit saying "I'm looking for a new job"

2 seconds of thinking brings the logical conclusion out of that

Southern Illinois lost Jerry Kill to Northern Illinois after losing to Delaware in the 2007 semifinals.

There are one hundred more stories like that.

I'm guessing Dino Babers at Eastern Illinois will move on, too.
Therein lies the difference. I don't think any reasonable fan would blame Bohl for taking a job with that kind of pay hike but to do it in middle of a potentially historic playoff run is what's burning us. Had Furman beat the Bison today I wouldn't blame Bohl one bit for bolting tomorrow. Him leaving in the midst of this playoff run is forgivable given the circumstances but if he raids the staff less than a week before a game it would be a complete chicken **** move on his part and a slap in the face of the school that gave him the opportunity to resurrect his career.

Bohl made a bitch move and it will haunt him, mark my words. Financially a good move, but his career is on the downward side of the bell curve.

NDSU will be a very attractive position for other coaches around the country and I'm sure a very good staff will brought in.

Paul Johnson at Georgia Southern did the same thing (well, word got out at that time)... Prior to playing ...Furman. Odd. I wish NDSU all the best and honestly (though I don't know what Wyoming pays?) would have thought Bohl could wait for better. Furmans 2001 National Title game coach (Bobby Johnson) went to Vanderbilt which I would consider above Wyoming probably just bc you play in the SEC at least? I would think Bohl could have waited for more... But what do i know. Maybe they offered a ton o'money. still odd timing?

I think it's about time players stop looking to coaches for motivation and inspiration. Trust and follow the game plan, absorb all the knowledge and wisdom you can from the coaches you have, but can an FCS or FBS football player really count on their coaches to actually be there for them? Can you really forge emotional bonds with someone that could be gone in a couple months time?

I know that sounds needlessly cynical, but Bohl is the last coach I would have ever expected to do something like this. It really opened my eyes to how cold and calculated the coaching carousel really is. Heck, I give Fritz a week before somebody poaches him.

I still wish the best for Bohl at Wyoming. We can't lose sight of what he did for NDSU and ultimately, the FCS as a whole. But this proves that at least in the FCS, no coach is ever certain to stay, no matter how close they are to a "dream" situation.

Allowing? It shouldn't even be permitted. As weak as non-compete agreements are, the morality and ethics clauses in most contracts expressly forbid it.
If they want to follow Bohl down the rabbit hole for a few years worth of silver dollars before they head to highschool programs that's fine by me.

Look dont get me wrong, I am all about me and financial goals. But I do have morals and ethics, something Bohl claimed were his backbone.
I understand the timing and the decision, I just dont condone it. Personally I would have waited for #3 and a better offer after the season was over.
Bohl had a very narrow margin for making a decision, his greed overrode his morality.

Simply stated he lacks what he demands from his players.

Allowing? It shouldn't even be permitted. As weak as non-compete agreements are, the morality and ethics clauses in most contracts expressly forbid it.
If they want to follow Bohl down the rabbit hole for a few years worth of silver dollars before they head to highschool programs that's fine by me.

Look dont get me wrong, I am all about me and financial goals. But I do have morals and ethics, something Bohl claimed were his backbone.
I understand the timing and the decision, I just dont condone it. Personally I would have waited for #3 and a better offer after the season was over.
Bohl had a very narrow margin for making a decision, his greed overrode his morality.

Simply stated he lacks what he demands from his players.
All I can say is if you ever leave a job for a higher paying job you will be a hypocrite.

I think it's about time players stop looking to coaches for motivation and inspiration. Trust and follow the game plan, absorb all the knowledge and wisdom you can from the coaches you have, but can an FCS or FBS football player really count on their coaches to actually be there for them? Can you really forge emotional bonds with someone that could be gone in a couple months time?

I know that sounds needlessly cynical, but Bohl is the last coach I would have ever expected to do something like this. It really opened my eyes to how cold and calculated the coaching carousel really is. Heck, I give Fritz a week before somebody poaches him.

I still wish the best for Bohl at Wyoming. We can't lose sight of what he did for NDSU and ultimately, the FCS as a whole. But this proves that at least in the FCS, no coach is ever certain to stay, no matter how close they are to a "dream" situation.

Really. It was NDSU who took a chance on him when nobody else would. It was NDSU who gave him the resources to be successful. Its not the fact that he is leaving. Its the classless way that he did it. He talked about integrity and character many times. I guess in the end it was all talk. He took a dump on those he called family.

Every fairy tail has to end one day. Most fans aren't delusional like Nikki. However -
Bohl negotiated a long term contract with NDSU. We acted in good faith and got burned.
He is leaving between a record 3rd playoff NC run
He will probably not even address the players before leaving
He is trying to raid as many NDSU coaches as possible (might leave a few until the end of our run)
He is going to take our recruits using the loophole
We gave him a chance after he was unemployable after sleeping with coeds and cheating on the wife

All of those things are great points. I don't disagree with you on any of them. But if NDSU took a chance on me and gave me plenty of resources, you'd be looking at a pretty terrible football team. You have to give Bohl some credit for his coaching abilities, even if today's events expose him as somewhat of a snake. I sure hope he learned something from this blown up situation, and I also hope Wyoming doesn't get too upset if Bohl takes another step up the FBS ladder in a couple years.

He had better address the team in person. He needs to let them speak up, and answer any questions they might have. Again, Bohl did a lot for Bison football. But this goes beyond the gridiron- these are human beings that placed a huge amount of trust in their coach. If he can't even show them a little bit of respect, shame on him to the highest degree.

If Wyoming waited until January 10 to hire him they would be 6 weeks without a coach. 6 weeks no recruiting. It isn't about him needing time to recruit high level projects it's about him needing time to recruit period.

So I stepped back for a bit while reading this quickly advancing thread and played devil's advocate for a minute...let's look into what's being posted & what's not.

- NDSU players had no clue about this via tweets from Brock & MWill.
- Team meeting at 9 am Sunday.
- Flight plan filed for an 8 am departure from FAR to Laramie on Sunday.

However, we aren't hearing anything from the following:
- AD Gene Taylor or President Bresciani
- Coach Bohl (who himself shed tears - as he put it - only 14 days ago on Senior Day)

If what this man has coached, preached, and stated to the public about family, respect, honor, etc. for the past 10 years came from his heart, IMO at the very least, he would've talked to the players before the public became aware. With a supposed departure for WY 1 hour before an "emergency team meeting", does it make sense to any other Bison fan that Bohl would turn his back without so much as an "adios" or "good luck next week"?

There simply are pieces that aren't adding up so far...at 1:30 am.

Maybe be he will make a winner out of us. Much respect for your wonderful program. Too bad Coach is leaving.
There is nothing that you can say right now that will help. Lets us continue our melt down in peace. We don't need a Wyoming fan rubbing it in, we already have half the FCS celebrating him leaving.

Exactly. We are entitled right.
They hate when we celebrate, the least they can do is let us meltdown.

Great post, something just seems fishy with this situation. I truly want to believe Bohl wouldn't leave this way. Gonna be a crazy Sunday, my intense anger is subsiding now. I would have gone outside to yell but I don't feel like freezing my tits off lol.

You tried to spell a french word correctly, that shows a serious flaw in your self esteem.
The french are the worst people on earth. Mangle their language, titles, and locales as best you can, always.

I am actually disappointed in myself that I didn't **** it up more.

Bohl will get NDSU in to mountain west - unnamed source.

Unless Bohl takes Brock Jensen, Sam Ojiuri, the offense line and the Defense with him tomorrow the Bison should be Ok for the rest of the Playoffs. Going forward who the hell knows

Most coaches leave pretty much the same way, ask Washington on how they felt. This hiring was probably in process months ago.

I'm seriously wondering what kind of drugs Bison were taking to think Bohl would never leave.

I know the fans of NDSU are hurting right now, but most of these comments are amusing and laughable. Bohl's compensation will be 5-6-7 times annually at Wyoming than what it is in Fargo. He'll have use of a private plane and assistant coaching salaries have been bumped nicely for this hire. In 2014, Bohl gets to face Oregon and Michigan State, along with the usual MWC teams. Oregon, Missouri and Iowa will be coming to Laramie in the years ahead. Nebraska, Texas, A&M, Virginia and Ole Miss have already been to Laramie in recent years. Sorry boys, but this is a different level of football overall and UW/boosters are opening their wallets to get the program back on track. Good luck.

Back on track so be the place coaching careers go to die? Glad to see that you're wanting to keep that going. You're football program is a joke. Less than .500 winning percentage all time and a losing record in bowl games.

You're so special you little flower.

EDIT: Pretty sure I bit hard on trollbait, don't even care. Wyo is a crap program and I mean it with all my heart. IN THE DUMPS. Coach Bohl will be able to turn it around, but you have nothing for tradition. NOTHING.

Fishy on the timing, how he's leaving. Not talking to the players, not fishy he got an offer to coach a FBS team. Should have clarified sorry and perhaps fishy isn't the correct word but its all I could come with. My apologies.

I'm sure Bohl and co did not mean it to come out this way. You don't go hire and spend a good amount of money just because, for all you know Bohl accepted the job weeks or more ago.

Wyoming has their man they have absolute nothing to lose by leaking it and can only gain recruits from NDSU decommits.

Get off my back about my word choices. I will clarify again, ****ty timing for our program since we are in the playoffs trying to 3 peat. Good lord Clenz, I understand what you are saying in the big picture but I don't care about Wyoming recruiting. I only care about Bison football and the timing sucks for us.
