If we'd ended up hiring Blazek or Yelk for HC, we likely would have kept some of the staff, but when the HC and all coordinators leave, you rarely have any of the existing staff stick around unless they have a particularly strong attachment to the school. Plus, Nielson likely offered many of them jobs at USD, and when you have a job offer at one place and compare that to waiting around here to see if the new HC will want to give you an interview to try for the same position you were just in...it's kinda a no-brainer. Especially if you've got a family, you've got to take the "sure-thing".
Yeah i'm kind of surprised that i haven't heard anything about Yelk Bradley or Crutchley going anywhere yet.
They don't tweet as much as Blazek or Moose do, and technically, Nielson hasn't officially announced his USD staff yet. I'd be really surprised if you didn't see most of those guys end up at USD too....just might not hear about it until the official announcement.

Yelk just sent a tweet about South Dakota, saying USD is a special place (?) - his Twitter bio says he is USD co-defensive coordinator.

Yes would have liked to see oboyle as a coach here.
Wonder if he threw his application in?
The two candidates they have now are more than qualified and sound great.

Ted Schlafke also tweeted about South Dakota, so he is heading there also, which is no surprise.

Scott any idea if they had to wait until 2016 to officially be hired by South Dakota - just seems odd they all are tweeting stuff today about USD
