Really think Nielson and his staff are going to stay. That is not saying that Kent St does not have some very attractive qualities that could work out for him. I also think he is a good enough coach to make them a MAC contender. Here is why he will stay: * Bob and his staff have come to SD not to almost turn around the program and win the MVFC, but to actually do it. They have poured so much blood sweat and tears into this program that he will want to see it through to the conclusion. * This year showed that his system can work in the MVFC and he did it with an astounding amount of young players playing in key spots. There are more playmakers that redshirted and more that will certainly come in next year and play from this recruiting class. The defense will get better with more maturity and depth and our running game will improve alongside our passing productivity - again due to more strength up front. * Bob didn’t come here from WIU to job hop quickly - I think he values the long game - sees the investment the University is making and knows he can utilize those investments to build a champion. He wants a championship and knows it can be done at USD. Will he eventually move on for a big payday - I do think eventually he may, but it will be for a bigger step up than Kent St can offer. We will know soon. I really hope that you are right.
Reading the Western IL Blogs, they believe that he left Western IL because of budget cuts, no stipend funding and lack of facilities improvement. He doesn't have any of those issues at USD.
The State of IL is a real mess and there has been discussion about having to close 1-2 of the state colleges due to budget constraints. Who can blame him for leaving.
With that being said, who among us wouldn't take a 2-3X pay raise in our own jobs?
I hope that this doesn't get drawn out.

That's the same source from a couple pages back. I'll say this isn't a new development. Sorry - missed that...

Would hate to see Nielson and Staff leave - just starting to build great things.
