Assistant Coach moves

[Jacked_Up]

There's speculation that USD's new offensive coordinator might be one of NDSU's offensive assistants. If there's any truth to that, judging by the Bison's lackluster performance in the FCS championship game, USD might want to reconsider its options.

It would make some sense though given lack of any activity on that front.

Beschorner is option with prior 'Yote tenure, and Pauley played under Nielson at UM-D.

I am hearing an SDSU assistant, not NDSU.

Josh Davis headed to USD.

I guess that’s a step up as offensive coordinator but if it was me and all the accolades of playing and coaching for the Jack’s….I think I would have a little vomit in my mouth going to USe’D!!!

Seems to be a bit of a risk to me. If Bob doesn't get things turned around soon, their entire staff could be looking for jobs. Another year with the Jacks if they make another run could have positioned him for better opportunities down the road.

Unless he was told Nielson's essentially done after this season. Did they ever specify terms of the contract extension?

More than "a little." I'd need about a dozen SDSU ice cream root beer floats to calm the queasiness

I’m sure Davis didn’t see Lujan going anywhere soon but woof. Happy for him and his family but USD? Cmon man!

That would seem to be risky for USD, to tell someone that he is the head coach in waiting, when he has no head coaching experience and has never set foot on campus other than when playing for your rival.

The good news reference Davis is that he was only there a year so the impact either way is minimal and the Jankes are staying. I knownits early, but if this is the worst of what we are losing, then I'm good. I expect to lose coaches

A positive is the Jacks are positioned to attract quality applicants, maybe more so than at any previous time.

Imagined their logo down in Frisco. Puke.

One could argue that extending Nielson's contract was a risk, in the sunk cost sense.

Davis has coached in the region for several years, so they could've indicated that him taking the offense from bottom to top third in conference would merit him first consideration once Nielson leaves.

We should start a separate thread to talk about Josh Davis and the status of other assistant coaches and football support personnel in the off-season. I'm sure there will be other teams coming after SDSU assistants.

Yes, can admin move these posts over???
