AD ties are in the Dakotas. Would he pull from his ties and elevate an FCS head coach or associate coach from one of the Dakota or Montana schools to the G5 / FBS level as a first time coaching experience at this level.

I really believe we need to keep our focus on instate players in Ohio and the surrounding areas of Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Indiana.
