UND Names Schweigert New Head Football Coach

The University of North Dakota have announced Kyle "Bubba" Schweigert will take over the reigns of their football team next season.

According to the press release:

The Zeeland, N.D., native returns to Grand Forks after 10 years away from a program that he helped lead to the 2001 NCAA Division II national title as defensive coordinator.

Most recently, Schweigert was the defensive coordinator at Southern Illinois for the previous six seasons (2008-13) and served as associate head coach for the last five of that stretch. His 2010 defense led the Missouri Valley in total defense and his unit finished in the top half of the league in four of his six campaigns at SIU.

Schweigert was introduced at a press conference earlier today (Dec. 27th).
