I'm not going to be too worried about it unless PJ actually left, which I don't think he will.

I just think if you're looking for the next Cignetti, Polasek could have as good of a chance as anyone.

I don’t think hiring an FCS coach is on its face bad

Tressel was an FCS coach that Ohio state hired

I wouldn’t consider him an FCs hire
But I’m sure he would

SDSU was an old guy for a while.



Would you rather have:
Chris Kleiman
Matt Entz
Or
Tim Polesek


I think I’d pick Entz

I would take Kleiman. Physical, power football.

It's not as big of a jump as it used to be. The last two NDSU coaches went to Kansas St and Fresno St. SDSU's coach is in his first year at Washington St.

Cignetti took James Madison from FCS for 2 years to FBS for 2 years, then went to Indiana.

As I’m sure Curt Cignetti was to all but the most hardcore IU fans (all 12 of them at the time) when he was hired in 2023.

That said, when hired at Indiana, Cignetti had 13 years of successful head coaching experience, including two years at the FBS level, assistant coaching experience on a P4 national powerhouse that won a national title, and stints at two ACC schools. And, Indiana fans were pretty fired up, actually.

While impressive, Polasek's resume is less. Doesn't mean he'd be a bad hire, but no one from the NDSU dynasty has jumped immediately as high as the Big Ten.

Yeah you’re right, he’s not getting players that aren’t here to play school

This is the stuff that bothers me, we have plenty of players that are here only due to football. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Quit pretending that because our results aren’t high end, that we don’t bend the academic rules in our favor.

Link?

That’s a pretty damning statement.
