Stig Part 2: Career turning point, money-hungry modern world of CFB, NDSU's FBS move, leadership, and making the right hire

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

Believe it or not, Stig did not spend his entire career at SDSU. After starting as a voluntary student assistant in 1977, he bounced around from Northern Iowa to high school ball in Wisconsin, to Northern State, to a grad assistant job at Wisconsin for one season before returning to Brookings. That final move was his last. How does he reflect on that decision that led to so many changes and evolutions in Jackrabbit football, especially after he took over as head coach in 1997? Also, what are his keys to hiring the right assistant coaches? And how did he become the leader he is without being a "natural born leader?"
