I would guess he'll get a small raise. Assuming the number I found in a search this morning is accurate, I have to imagine it will be a bump in pay and the ability to be the head guy.

It's finally official word....Bergy took the gig. He interviewed last week and it's now his gig. This didn't go real smooth for Winona along the way, but they got their guy now. I will see if I can reach Bergy and make time to post something about it....once he gets his feet settled in. I knew him from his days in Sioux Falls....real good guy.
While I was hoping for a coach with strong WSU ties, it's hard to be disappointed in a coach with this resume. And, if he's a good dude, too, that makes it even better.

Seemingly mid 90k to about 120k.
SDSU now has 3 openings on their staff..so don't be shocked to see a NSIC coach head there, as that's happened often in the past with SDSU. I could see an OC or DC depart from a NSIC squad.
To some extent I wouldn't be surprised if SMSU does not have "finalists" announced publicly, as that didn't seem to go well for Winona.
I chatted with Bergy last night briefly..and we will be doing a Zoom-style interview in the coming weeks..FYI.

Regarding your interview with Bergstrom, will you be recording that interview for people to watch?

Are you hearing its more external candidates for the job, or is McClure being considered as well?

last item first....yes, recording and listing on our D2 Football page on Youtube. If you haven't subscribed to that page, please do..it helps us with someday maybe being able to monetize things on that medium from youtube and be able to produce ongoing/better content. There's a lot of videos in there already from past shows to interviews to "best of" videos also. (like the stadiums one)

I'm getting the impression more of a outside candidate but I don't think anything is concrete with that line of thinking. All indications are that SMSU is trying to keep this closer to the vest than Winona was. (just my take based on the information I'm obtaining) Out of respect for the coaches still in the running, I'm keeping their names off here since SMSU isn't looking to have this be public....but they are names we've discussed here plenty. For those that don't know, the coaching fraternity talks A LOT internally....so word travels REAL FAST. I'm friends with a fair amount of them..thus I hear things..etc. Many of them are lurkers on this forum as well..and plenty would deny that yet. haha!
Here's some addtl stuff on Coach Bergy....from twitter.

At Augustana Brian Bergstrom took over DC from Jake Dickert and our D took a definite downturn and when he left Jordan Malone took over and the D got much better. Obviously, he did a good job at SDSU. He was not one of my favorite coordinators. He will do an excellent job at WSU, I'm sure.

Very good choice.
It won't be easy for him, but if he's willing to give it his all - I'm excited about it.
