The first task on incoming Wyoming Football Coach Jay Savel’s to-do list is to hire an offensive coordinator.
ESPN announced Saturday night Tim Polasek is leaving the program to become the next head coach at North Dakota State. NDSU confirmed the report on Sunday.
Polasek will be the 32nd head football coach in the school’s history.
“I am absolutely ecstatic to be back home at North Dakota State,” Polasek said in a statement released by the university. “It means so much to return to such a special place that has been incredibly formative professionally and personally. I am deeply honored to be able to give back to Fargo, the region, and Bison football.”
Polasek served as the offensive coordinator and running backs coach at North Dakota State from 2014-16. He was also an assistant coach under Bohl from 2006-12 at the school. He won four FCS National Championships over his 10 seasons with the Bison.
After his stint with the Bison, Polasek spent four seasons (2017-20) at Iowa as the offensive line coach and three seasons (2021-23) as the offensive coordinator at Wyoming.
NDSU released the poster showing Polasek wearing the team’s green and gold colors during his previous time coaching there. Coach Polasek spent 10 years on the Bison staff from 2006-2012 and 2014-2016. Yesterday’s NDSU tweet says, “Welcome back, Coach!”
