Entz is an awful pick but great news for MSU. At least for now.
Yeah i agree, he didn't get fired at NDSU but the natives were getting restless. Whether he was the guy holding the bag when they inevitably, finally started to come back to the pack, or he did a bad job causing them to come back to the pack, the end result was the same. I never cared for his style either, but he's got the 2 nattys, to his credit. Glad it's him not Vigen.
Agree, doesn't appear to be a great hire for a team moving to the Pac. Sounded like the interim guy would have been a popular pick with the players so Entz will probably try and keep him in the fold or potentially see a lot of FSU players hit the portal.

Glad they moved quickly so we don't have to continue the speculation about Vigen!! This portal stuff/coaching changes couldn't help but be at least a minor distraction.

Don’t discount Entz’s work at USC and his familiarity with California. Not sure why some are saying he’s an awful choice. Man has won multiple national championships.

Common opinion is he rode coattails and NDSU was trending down. He jumped at right time, now has turned it into a huge opportunity. Time will tell. Seems like an harsh personality so well see if he can win over players who wanted the internal guy.

Clearly it was him because they’re already better.

My understanding is that he was effectively fired. He was allowed to move on to save face.

Sometimes when you listen to people and watch them, they’re very obvious about telling you who they are.

I think he won't go anywhere. Two boys in he program and seems like a loyal guy.
He’s clearly interested in moving up, and rightfully so. This is the second year where he’s being mentioned with jobs…that doesn’t happen without interest on his side too.
There's interest in moving up, for sure. Just remains to be seen what level is a good enough step up for him. My personal hunch is he would go to Fresno, but maybe he's holding out for something bigger or not in Fresno. Of course, he's spent most of his life in Fargo and Laramie, so Fresno might not seem that bad. But that place really sucks.
Fresno is a hell-hole. Very close to being larger than Wyoming.

NDSU football is a machine. I don’t think it matters who is in charge there. Earl the Pearl won two National championships at NDSU.

Sounds like Entz all but has the Fresno job. Nothing to back that up but heard from a reliable source. Take it for what it is worth.

Yes but that only shows that even a blind squirrel can find an acorn twice if given enough time. Now you go wash your mouth out with soap for typing that name and take some time to think about what an egregious thing you've done.

Exactly, it is a hell-hole! I know of two families that move from Fresno to Montana in the last couple of years, but a that’s a whole separate conversation about people from California moving to Montana

It’s only egregious if you include his whole name. That’s a rule I learned on my first day on BN.

Ah I stand corrected and realize that I was a little over sensitive. Anyone who lived through those years should be able to understand.
You are the gate keeper AFCAT and do a fantastic job of it.

I didn’t take it any way other than I thought you were being funny.
I understand all about the guy who shall remain nameless. I have a personal connection to his failure at MSU and witnessed a lot of it firsthand.

Thanks for the compliment.

This is what I kept coming back to also. Fresno is not a great place to be, and downright sucks a$$ in the summer.
