Nielson looks like a good coach. He has indeed turned every place he went into a national championship contender. He has won 2 DII national championships in 2008 and 2010. He looks like the type of coach who will be a FBS coach soon.

I have some questions and possible concerns. His coaching is out of area (not near VA). Is he the type of coach who would like to coach at a religious school? His age could be a factor. He is currently 58. Compare that to Mike Houston who is about 46. How will he do the rest of the year in the MVFC? He will have to face NDSU. If he does well, that is a good sign.

In conclusion, I think he should be on a short list for the HC job.
