FARGO, N.D. (AP) - New North Dakota State head coach Matt Entz has added a defensive coordinator and three other coaches to his staff.

David Braun is the team's defensive coordinator and safeties coach. He comes to the Bison from Northern Iowa, where in two seasons he served as defensive line coach, run game coordinator, linebackers coach and special teams coordinator.

Braun is a graduate of Winona State, where he played defensive line for Entz from 2004-07 and was a graduate assistant for two years.

Entz also named Grant Olson as linebackers coach, Al Blazek as offensive line coach and Noah Pauley as wide receivers coach.

Entz, who was the team's defensive coordinator, takes over for Chris Klieman, who left for Kansas State after leading the Bison to their seventh FCS title.
