College football coaches currently leading teams are being named as possible replacements at different programs. North Dakota State head coach Tim Polasek will not be one of them being discussed with open coaching jobs.

On Tuesday, North Dakota State athletic director Matt Larsen announced the program and Polasek have agreed to contract extension.

According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, the new deal will keep Polasek at North Dakota State through the 2033 season. While the specific details of the contract have not been disclosed, Thamel tweeted, “It also includes a significant raise, additional staff money and more program resources”.

North Dakota State is 12-0 this year. Polasek won the program’s record 10th Football Championship Subdivision title in 2024 in his first year. NDSU is the No. 1 overall seed in the current FCS playoffs.

"After several productive conversations with coach Polasek, we have affirmed our commitment to both him and the long-term success of NDSU football," said Larsen. "Coach Polasek's impact on the football program over 12 seasons, and especially the past two seasons as our head coach has been remarkable," Larsen said in his statement.
