I am not sure if I have met a NW hardcore fan. My neighbor went there and I don't even know if he ever went to a game.
If anything, this might actually get a few more casual NW fans paying attention in the off season.
Next NW coach?

He would check a lot of boxes. Probably a Stanford and California guy through and through though.
wait, I thought NW just updated their facilities to be one of the best in the B1G? No, not the stadium, but there was a ton of talk about it a few years ago by the local radio bums.....about how Nebraska now had worse facilities than NW and about how NW was just about to blow up. Jake Sorensen and Sip were just GUSHING about their practice fields next to the lake and all that.
I think they upgrading the stadium and practice stuff is already done.
I don't think this is a great job, but it isn't the worst either.
As I understand it, they have great facilities
Very low expectations
I'd think an argument can be made they are a sleeping NIL giant
In the worst P5 division in all of CFB
Now would I take the job if I was an up and comer with options? Hell no...but you could do worse.

No. Only the practice facility is complete.
The stadium has bigger issues than a few professors. Ryan Stadium is smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood. The homeowners are fighting the stadium renovation too.
After his first practice:
“Taught the guys a new chant - did a little hip-hip, hooray. You know it doesn’t quite look like football yet, but I think we can get there. I told the team no butt-stuff shenanigans and we will keep building. We got some ice cream and called it a day.”
Wouldn’t he be guilty by association with all the past years of shrek clapping, nude center to qb exchanges and dry humping?
I read an article (Sorry don’t have link) that there are some admins wanting to put the project on hold until this is sorted.
But recruiting to NW is a “Little Different than recruiting to Michigan or somewhere else.
Ryan Fieldhouse + Walter Athletics Center, not the new smaller stadium.
Northwestern University Ryan Fieldhouse and Walter Athletics Center
The Ryan Fieldhouse and Walter Athletics Center is one of the most versatile practice, competition, and recreation venues in the nation. A sleek, sophisticated destination, it takes full advantage of the vista over Lake Michigan and the panorama of the Chicago skyline

Translation....those people think sports are stupid and the salaries that go with would be better spent elsewhere and their going to use anything they can to disrupt the program.
oh, he was taking a year off....seems like he would be a good fit
Makes sense for him. Go become an instant millionaire and even if you fail (he will) you can just go back to Michigan.
If I were a younger or middle-aged coach at a mid-major or minor major like Duke I would have no qualms about career suicide. Even if I were a horrible coach who didn't win games I'd probably get 3 years at $5M/yr. I'd bank that $15M and after I got fired take 4%/yr out and live comfortably on $600,000/yr.
Please let this one happen. The worst marriage between a school and a coach you could dream up.
Right, plus, you know you will get hired on as an asst coach again so it is not a huge issue.
Honestly, if NW wanted to be taken seriously, this would be an amazing hire and their fan should be excited if this was true.
Wouldn't happen imo. I think Entz is smart enough to stick to his Midwestern roots and take a job like Bohl and Kleiman.
Klieman took over a program that was good and made it better, Bohl is in a conference that is mediocre to bad and can recruit his type of players from the local environment. Erntz would be walking into a meat grinder of a conference that shows no mercy. Bielema knows the success formula and is able to recruit from his past proven success in the B1G, I think Fickell is going to have it rough even though he has previous B1G experience. SEC & B1G football is a different animal than all the other conferences.
Erntz is a capable coach and does extremely well in his environment, but to make that big of a jump with no previous experience in a major conference would be tough. Leipold has worked under several major conference champions as an assistant and DeBoer coached at Fresno prior to his successful jump to the PAC 12. I watch almost every NDSU game and love their style of offense and defense, I would love for Rhule to imitate a lot of it, it works for their program. I think Erntz needs to stairstep himself into a Power 5 program. Not sure he could rebound from a NW flop. Not only that, but he walks on water right now, not sure he wants to give that up.
He and his voice would blend in perfectly with the mafia and the local bosses, where is the downside? He is close enough to the lake to have the troublemakers sleep with the fishes...
Don’t know about the walking on water , I went to the NC game in Frisco, buddy is a SDSU alumni, talked to some NDSU people they said Klieman took the best Ass coaches with him, they lost their DC to NW ( new interim coach) . They said recruiting had really dropped off . Be interesting to watch them the next years.
OT...He went into that game with his best players sidelined and really felt bad for him.
I am surprised he is doing as well as he is there. I agree with the best assistants leaving, but to keep the machine rolling is impressive. NDSU likes to develop their players and stay out of the transfers portal so I think that will help. The next 2 years will tell all. I wouldn't even know where to begin in recruiting to FCS level, you have to take the best of the rest and hope to find a diamond or two in the process, and then have to steal some or from the FBS level and keep them when they prove themselves to the larger schools. No thanks, coaching is not for me.
People seem to be high on Cole Payton out of Omaha. If they hit on him they could stretch out the run another 3 or 4 years...
Getting a lineman drafted on the first day just gives them even more of an advantage over other FCS schools when it comes to recruiting. Like they needed it.
