Definitely the right move after posting our best D1 season (best one by a wide margin too). I'm glad our interim period without an AD didn't burn us and have our coach go elsewhere. Not everyone would have waited this long for that extension.
Increased pool for assistants is great to see. Hopefully it is an impactful amount.

what a difference a year makes...a year ago we were lambasting the extension herbster gave him. Now we praise this one. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully on board with the extension and also questioned Nielson's last extension. Just goes to show that we have great people in positions of leadership and we should trust in their decision making process. Not saying that mistakes are never made, but recent history goes to show our athletic administration has made more good decisions than bad.
remember that, Coyote nation, next time a little adversity hits.

I’ll admit that I was probably wrong about criticizing the move and coach Nielson last offseason. A second AD giving Nielson a vote of confidence says a lot. However, it remains a pattern that our only upswing seasons (other than 2017) have been when coach’s seat seemed to be on fire from an outsider’s perspective. I don’t see us potentially worsening from last season by more than one loss, so this is his best opportunity to string two successful seasons together for the first time at USD.

I was dumbfounded when Nielson was allowed to come back. I chalked it up to Herbster not wanting to go through a coaching search on his way out the door (once we learned of his departure). Now we look poised for a well deserved top 10 preseason ranking and every reason to believe that this team can build on last year's success.
Shows what I know.
