Eidsness Heading to Northern Illinois

Re: Eidsness Heading to Northern Illinois

Eck has done a great job for the Jacks. I hope he gets promoted to O coordinator soon. Promising coaches should be lining up for the other open slot on the offensive staff. Some fresh perspective could be good. Ultimately, things are likely to shake out quite well for SDSU.

IF Eck were to follow Eidsness then we damn sure should be able to get a hell of a coach to replace them. Offensively we have to be one of the most attractive FCS coaching spots in the nation.

Re: Eidsness Heading to Northern Illinois

If Eck's goal is to be a head coach, it would seem to me that it would be a quicker path to take the coordinator position here if it is offered. He would then be a strong candidate for the head coach job here when Stig decides that it is time to go. It could be that his goal is to be an O line coach at the highest level possible, with maybe being a coordinator farther down the road. Then moving to FBS might make more sense, again if that becomes a possibility. Would an FCS coordinator salary be similar to an FBS position coach ?

Assuming we want Eck, I would hope we can entice him to stay. It would be different if Eidsness was going to a head coaching gig and wanted Eck to come along as his OC, but Eck would still be the OL coach and run game coordinator at most. I would assume the pay for an FCS OC/OL coach and an FBS OL coach/run game coordinator wouldn't be that far off. We are going to start to have to pay good money for coaches if we want sustained success.

Eidsness salary as OC at SDSU was around $93,000.
Tripoli, NIU OLine/Run cooordinator made around $103,000 (had been there 9 years).

I was trying to find the website for the current salaries but did not find anything reliable. I would be curious to know what we are currently paying Coach Eck, and if it is below 103k then we might have a worry here.

Use this:https://open.sd.gov/employees.aspx

Eck current salary is $80,000 and more than likely would go up with promotion to OC. No state income tax.

interesting snippet on how Eidsness was looked at for OC at NIU.

Re: Eidsness Heading to Northern Illinois

When you look at his track record and the numbers his teams have put up, along with developing some very elite athletes on that side of the ball, we really have been blessed with his service since arriving from SWMS. Congrats coach on getting recognized and rewarded for what you've done!

He was here before he went to swms.

In a related note, NIU has hired Daryl Agpalsa as their offensive line coach.

That is good news.

Re: Eidsness Heading to Northern Illinois

Any concern that EE poaches any of our recruits from that area to go play for him?
