Regardless, Maggard did a great job of keeping the lid on things.
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.

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.
