FARGO – North Dakota State University (NDSU) head football coach Tim Polasek announced three changes to the Bison coaching staff on Thursday, February 27. The moves follow the departure of offensive coordinator Jake Landry, who was named running backs coach at Iowa State University.

Dan Larson is NDSU’s new offensive coordinator and will coach the tight ends and fullbacks. Larson has been on the Bison staff for six years. He coached running backs in 2019 before spending the past five seasons with the offensive line from 2020 through 2024.

Larson was an offensive coordinator for eight years at Macalester College and the University of Minnesota-Duluth before taking a head coaching job at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire from 2016 to 2018.

Joe Beschorner is NDSU’s new quarterbacks coach. He came to NDSU in January 2021 and spent his first four seasons as running backs coach before leading the tight ends and fullbacks during the 2024 season. Beschorner previously coached quarterbacks during his 13 years as offensive coordinator at Simpson College and Minnesota State University Mankato.

NDSU has hired Dylan Chmura as offensive line coach. Chmura most recently coached the offensive line at Tennessee State in 2024, Bemidji State in 2023 and Northern Michigan in 2021 and 2022. He was a graduate assistant at Iowa in 2019 and 2020, where he served as assistant offensive line coach alongside Tim Polasek.

Chmura has nine years of college coaching experience including two seasons as a graduate assistant at Fresno State in 2017 and 2018, and one season as a volunteer assistant at Michigan State in 2016 coaching offensive line and tight ends.

Chmura was a two-year letterwinner at tight end and long snapper for Michigan State and part of two Big Ten championship teams in 2013 and 2015. He is the son of Green Bay Packers hall of fame tight end Mark Chmura.
