South Dakota Athletic Director David Herbster has announced a five-year contract with head football coach Bob Nielson.

The announcement follows another milestone year for Nielson, who surpassed 200 collegiate victories last season.

When Nielson took the Coyotes to the postseason in 2017, it marked the fifth consecutive program that has reached the playoffs within four years of Nielson taking the helm. South Dakota won its FCS playoff debut and reached the final 16.

The team is 16-19 in three seasons under Nielson after combining for 12 wins in the four seasons prior.
