His first full-time coaching position was as the defensive secondary coach for the Bison under Don Morton in 1984 when NDSU finished second in the nation with a 12-1 record.

After that Bohl coached on the Division I level for 18 seasons including stops at five different universities. He was the linebackers coach at Tulsa for two seasons (1985-86), the linebackers coach at Wisconsin for two seasons (1987-88), the defensive coordinator at Rice for five seasons (1989-93), the linebackers coach and defensive coordinator at Duke for one season (1994), and the linebackers coach at Nebraska for eight years. The final three seasons at Nebraska also included the defensive coordinator duties.

His seasons at Nebraska included a number of Top 10 defensive national rankings for a team that compiled an 85-18 record including national championships with a Fiesta Bowl win in 1995 and an Orange Bowl win 1997. At Duke, he helped mold one of the biggest turnarounds in college football, working with a program that posted an 8-4 record in 1994 after the Blue Devils had gone 3-8 the year before his arrival. A number of athletes who have played for Bohl while at Nebraska have played or been drafted in the National Football League.

A native of Lincoln, Nebraska, he was a reserve in the Cornhusker secondary from 1977 through 1979 under Tom Osborne and played on NU’s 1979 Orange Bowl and 1980 Cotton Bowl teams. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administratio

Shooting for the REAL stars...this guy makes all the other candidates look like amateurs. Isn't he on the hot list of every school looking for a Custodial Director?

North Dakota State head football coach Craig Bohl led the Bison to the program’s first NCAA Division I Football Championship with a 17-6 win over Sam Houston State on Jan. 7, 2012, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference title. NDSU tied the school record for wins with a 14-1 ledger and posted a 7-1 record in the MVFC.

The Bison had the Fargodome rocking with each of the three home NCAA playoff games, sending the decibel levels off the chart. The NDSU faithful then took Frisco, Texas, by storm for the national championship game. North Dakota State’s stingy defense allowed only 27 points in four playoff games, while the balanced offense featured a pair of 1,000-yard running backs and 1,000-yard wide receiver.

Bohl was named to the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Board of Trustees by vote of the membership at the organization’s 2012 convention. A finalist for the Eddie Robinson award, Bohl was named the 2011 AFCA Region 4 FCS and MVFC Bruce Craddock Coach of the Year.

Entering his 10th season, the tireless Bohl has a 75-31 record including a 16-8 record against nationally-ranked FCS teams, a 6-1 record in the FCS playoffs and 5-3 mark against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams over the past six seasons -- including a 37-24 win at Minnesota in the 2011.

Tressel came from the same conference...won an NC second year in the big leagues.


Any of these guys from the FCS with winning records like Craig Bohl would have been way better hires than Kiffin or Dooley.

Who and Who? Tressel is a schmuck he can't beat SEC teams! And he was given the NC by a bumbling Miami team!

Just saying a coach like Bohl is worth taking a shot on instead of coaches like Kiffin or Dooley. For Tennessee..probably not a good idea right now. I would have been cool with his hire after Fulmer or Kiffin thats for sure. AT least when I would have googled him I would have seen a winning record.

Bumbling Miami team?! They were fine, except for the fact McGahee got his knee destroyed and the refs clearly gave the game to OSU. I do agree tho that Tressel is extremely overrated.

EDIT: This Bohl dude has to be a joke. Why are we looking for these unknown coaches...lol. Bama needed a coach and went and got Saban. LSU got Miles. Arkansas got Petrino. All were proven winners before the aforementioned schools.

Dools part II

Actually his record is much more like Pearl's was when we hired him. (There's that weird 3-8 season thrown in there, though.)

As the old saying goes, "Winners win." (Dooley didn't fit that description.)
