VERMILLION, S.D.—South Dakota head football coach Bob Nielson has announced two new additions to his coaching staff for the 2023 season. Jeff Nady will coach the offensive line and Craig Bagnell will lead the wide receiver group. In addition, Josh Rosenthal will return to serve as director of player personnel.
 
Nady hails from Minden, Nevada, and attended nearby University of Nevada where he excelled on the offensive line from 2009-12. Nady served as offensive line coach at his alma mater in 2022. Before that, he was associate head coach and offensive line coach at Fort Lewis College in Colorado where he spent four seasons.
 
Nady was a two-time all-WAC performer for the Wolf Pack. He signed rookie contracts with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons and competed in the Arena Football League in 2014 and 2015. He returned to Reno in 2014 and spent time with the strength and conditioning crew before becoming the offensive line graduate assistant for two seasons.
 
Bagnell has served as head coach and offensive coordinator at University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, since 2018. In 2021, his Marauders boasted the top passing offense in Division II at 356 yards per game. He coached an all-American quarterback and two all-American wide receivers while at Mary.
 
Bagnell began his coaching career at Bemidji State where he started as the wide receivers coach in 2014 and became offensive coordinator in 2015. He served in that capacity for three seasons before taking the head coaching position at Mary. He became the youngest head coach in NCAA football at the age of 27.
 
Bagnell, a native of Polson, Montana, was a four-year starting quarterback at Mary from 2009-13. He is the Marauders' all-time leader in passing yards, touchdowns, completions and completion percentage.
 
Rosenthal served as director of player personnel and football operations for South Dakota last season. He also served as the Coyotes' NFL liaison. Rosenthal hails from Bloomington, Minnesota, and spent three seasons at Iowa State as assistant director of player personnel before arriving in Vermillion.
