Shield also served as head coach at Lenoir-Rhyne (N.C.) and Eastern Oregon. Shields played quarterback at Oregon State, graduating in 1994.
Chris Stutzriem, head coach at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Mont., was the other finalist for the job.
Minot State parted ways with previous coach Mike Aldrich in December.
