When they announced Napier my first thought was how the F did he know that..then i remembered who he worked for.Quote:

BTW, I still spend too many hour of my ever-decreasing life watching this stuff. :)
Hey.. everybody's into something, right?Quote:

I never heard anything about Napier except that text within 3 hours of hud being fired...and really who cares, glad he is the guy.Quote:

After the infamous "rock solid" post, believe it or not, a certain someone from admin felt bad enough for me to tell explain the situation from start to finish. Didn't happen until this year, but that person eventually did explain, with two others at the table, what I'm telling you guys here.
That's cool I enjoyed the ride of not knowingQuote:

I always figure Heupel would have been top target but then UCF opened.Quote:

BTW, that call from Saban must have been persuasive, not that that should come as a shock. :)
Brian Billy Napier was a name discussed on 12/06/17. Not as prime candidate, but highly regarded. That's the first time I'd heard his name. On that day Pry was still considered a possibility.
Not bothering to look back on hire public release. So maybe my memory of when it all came is off together as far as hire announced.
Well done guys, well done.
We have now provided enough cover for Maggard in case he ever wants to claim that he targeted Napier all along. ;)
Pry was known to be the guyQuote:

Matt Entz to be new NDSU head coach
This morning we updated everyone on the search, noting that defensive coordinator Matt Entz was the in house candidate.
This afternoon NDSU made it official.
Entz’s has run NDSU’s defense since Klieman ascended to the head coaching role, and worked previously under Klieman as Northern Iowa’s defensive line coach in 2010. A multi-year FCS Coordinator of the Year finalist (including 2018), Entz has produced a litany of top-ranked defenses while serving as Klieman’s shotgun rider for the past half decade.
