Choate to Texas Now?

Is there going to be a mass exodus of Cat players into the portal now also? Normally I wouldn't think too many would jump ship, but covid combined with a coaching staff change makes me wonder.
 
This article is proof positive that Choaches’s entire scam revolved around beating The Griz.

Look at the first sentence and practically every paragraph after that—it all has to do with The Griz.

The article flat-out shows that if you take The Griz out of the equation, MSMoo was below mediocre.

Such a sham. Look closely at this:

BOZEMAN, Montana — And just like that, the man who built a reputation as the greatest Griz slayer since Sonny Holland is on the way to the Lone Star State....

[Former head coach The Honorable Ron] Ash won the Big Sky in 2010, 2011 and 2012, advancing to the FCS playoffs in each season along with in 2014. But a 2-7 record against rival Montana ultimately led to Ash’s demise....

Choate’s first season started with six consecutive Big Sky losses but ended on an...unlikely 24-17 win over a ranked Montana in Missoula that kept the Griz out of the playoffs.

In 2017, Montana State...did post a 31-23 win over Montana in Bozeman, the first win by the Bobcats over the Griz on their home field in more than a decade. That helped MSU finish 5-6.

In 2018... Bobcats captured a 29-25 victory over Montana in Missoula in one of the most unforgettable games in the more than century-old rivalry.

And last season [included the] decimation of the No. 3 Griz in Bozeman...

Choate is most famous (and infamous) around the Treasure State for becoming the first Bobcat coach since Holland to post four straight victories over the Grizzlies. Last year’s whipping was the largest margin of victory posted by MSU over Montana in the two teams’ Big Sky Conference era dating back to 1963.

Outside of the Griz wins, Choate is 24-25 as MSU’s head coach, including 14-14 in Big Sky Conference games. His teams finished tied for ninth, tied for sixth, tied for fourth and tied for third, respectively, over the last four seasons in the Big Sky standings...

Choate is 7-13 all-time against ranked opponents, including 5-13 against ranked teams that aren’t the Grizzlies. Three of those wins came last year...

Choate leaves Montana State without ever beating North Dakota State (0-2), South Dakota State (0-2), Sacramento State (0-2), Weber State (0-3) or Eastern Washington (0-3).

Double ouch. Awful look for the guy so many over there idolize.
 
Character, or lack thereof. Kick in the nuts to MSU and his FORMER players.
Who is the cat poster(wbtfg)who has/had a picture of Coach riding a grizzly across some water will change avatars. :lol:
 
One would assume over a million dollar a year raise, at least, would entice anyone. Pete is one hell of a nice guy and the two of them along with Sark is going to be interesting to watch.

After the Boise fiasco, my douchy cat neighbor told me emphatically that Choach would absolutely not consider any job other than a head choach position. I think the phrase he used was “under no circumstances” would Choach leave for anything less than a HC spot, and certainly not some position choach.
:lol:
Choach is now an inside linebacker choach. :clap:
He literally choaches one player. It’s the one choaching spot with the least number of responsibilities and positions to choach on the roster!
 
From my UW friend: “D coordinator at UW first rate... superb. Can’t imagine what he can do with talent Texas can recruit. Also went from 1.2m a year to 3m”

Care to speculate how much Choate will make? Our former governor went to Texas to practice law and few lawyers make what college coaches make...

Their past LB coach made around 500k. Maybe he gets a little bump for this strange co-DC title. He made around 300-350k at bozeman after the bonuses. Seems very weird to me.

Nope. He's a co-defensive coordinator and inside linebacker coach well over a million a year. It's a no-brainer to anyone not from Montana. Hell, high school coaches in Texas make more than our flagship universities head coaches.
