Tim Polasek named head football coach at NDSU

(Fargo, ND) -- North Dakota State has named its new head football coach.
Tim Polasek was named the program's 32nd head coach Sunday, in an announcement by NDSU Athletic Director Matt Larsen. Polasek returns to the Bison after three seasons as the offensive coordinator under former NDSU head coach Craig Bohl at the University of Wyoming. 

Polasek was part of the NDSU offensive staff from 2006 to 2012 coaching the running backs, tight ends and fullbacks in addition to his duties with special teams and recruiting. He returned to NDSU in 2014 to spend three seasons as the offensive coordinator and running backs coach under Chris Klieman.

"I am absolutely ecstatic to be back home at North Dakota State," Polasek said. "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."
