Nothing’s happening this week anyways. It’s a dead period for recruiting and everyone’s home for the holidays. I’m guessing everyone already knows, and the announcements will be made Jan 2. Let the coaches close out the year, enjoy the holidays, and get their annual bonus (maybe). OC has already been picked is my guess. And when he comes aboard he will assemble his team on that side of the ball with Braun, with Binns probably gonna be retained (will likely need to interview with the OC). Maybe he’s already figured out who he’s bringing on board, probably people he’s been working with already. NDSU OC Tyler Roehl is the lead candidate as I keep perusing the Bisonville forums and it seems new head coach Polasek wants him to stay but he hasn’t been confirmed to stay as OC at NDSU, which suggests to me that he be gone. He’s probably a little sore for getting passed over for the head job and it probably helps us in a big way that the NDSU administration said Polasek was picked because of the experience he brought from outside of the program was a big reason for him getting the job. NU would pay him multiples of what he’s getting at NDSU and it would be a career developing move for him (almost prerequisite to one day becoming head coach at NDSU, his Alma Mater, based on Polasek’s hire). Which is fine by me if he brings QB coach Hedberg (who mentored FCS QBs Wentz and Lance into top 3 picks), his subtly creative running game, and especially a bit more of that NDSU culture. McGarigle is the new DC. Will need to replace MacPherson and new LB coach with McGarigle getting elevated. Between him and Braun may already have his guys (maybe more FCS coaches), who knows.
My guesses only, I really don’t know anything. But that’s what I would expect.
