"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.
