Out of curiosity, when has Vigen shown he can do something with nothing?

Taco in particular has apparently been approached with offers since the Oregon game according to the Cat board, I wouldn't be surprised if Vigen convinced both to follow him especially if they got some $$If vigen is hired away, he'll no doubt bring some of his top staff, and some top talent including qb, and lineman. It will be a much bigger adjustment than choate leaving to Texas, as choate did not take any staff or players with him. The only player that followed him from Montana was Gabe Sultzer from UM
The biggest thing going for MSU is the amount of Montana studs they have, id assume they all largely stay with MSU. I bet guys like Adam Jones, Cole Taylor etc stay with msu. I bet the dowler twins stay, etc.
Could certainly be the case, there were rumors swirling about taco hitting the portal after the natty last season.

Josh Allen had 1 D1 offer when he met coach Vigen and was a first round NFL pick when Vigen was done working with him at Wyoming.

No there wasn’t nothing as he started. Though Choate certainly wasn’t Sabin. He beat the Griz so he is glorified and remembered with rose colored vision. Yet he left only a mildly successful program.
Vegan then produced the best stretch msu football has ever seen. You have the best won-loss record and for the first time in 40 years a Championship Game appearance. I’d say Vegan has done pretty well.

Vigen also deserves credit for making Montana State so good while the winningest coach in the history of the Big Sky is over in Missoula. If Vigen was around when Choate was during the Stitt era the programs would probably be a lot further apart then they are currently.

Totally agree that Vigen has done an awesome job, he was the perfect guy for MSU. I'm just saying, he didn't come into a bare cupboard. MSU was a semi-final team the year before with a ton of talent returning on the roster (quite a few NFL guys). Vigen helped that team take the next step to Frisco the following year. He took a very good program on the rise and made it great, and has done an awesome job of reloading talent for sustained success.
3 Questions Remaining in Oregon State's Coaching Search
Monday, Oregon State interim head coach Robb Akey took a moment of his final weekly presser to crack wise about a coaching portal. On closer inspection, Akey’s

Is Brent Vigen ready to leave Montana State?
Montana State head coach Brent Vigen, a disciple of North Dakota State program-builder Craig Bohl, has built his own a perennial FCS title contender: his Bobcats just clinched their third Big Sky conference championship over the past four seasons, and their fifth consecutive FCS playoffs berth.
It’s understandable why Scott Barnes and his search committee see potential in Vigen: Montana State, like Oregon State, is a state school in a rural town. If he can win at Montana State, he can win at Oregon State. However, Vigen has heard this same pitch before: last season’s coaching carousel saw Vigen draw interest from Fresno State, and Washington State, but he had a compelling reason to turn them down. Vigen’s eldest son Jake is a redshirt sophomore defensive end, and his middle son Grant is a true freshman quarterback, both clad in Bobcat blue & gold. Few coaches would pass up a potential national title, and even fewer would walk out on their own family. If the Beavers are really serious about Vigen, they might need to wait for him.
When does Oregon State want to announce?
Officially, the transfer portal opens back up on January 2nd. Unofficially, coaches and their intermediaries are likely scheming behind the scenes to woo student-athletes. Oregon State heir-apparent quarterback Tristan Ti’a should receive interest from other schools, as should two-year starting middle linebacker Dexter Foster, textbook size & speed wide receiver Eddie Freauff, lengthy true freshman corner Trey Glasper, and others.
The pace of Oregon State’s hiring process - assembling a search committee and lining up interviews before the regular season ends - suggests that the Valley Football Center understands time is of the essence. The sooner the Beavers hire their coach of the future, the better chance they have of fending off a horde of poachers pursuing their best players. An announcement as soon as Sunday morning, following the conclusion of the Beavers’ season Saturday in Pullman, would give the new hire a head start.

Looks like Vigen is staying.
lmao #donedeal
Is Vigen like a really shitty interviewer or something? Kinda crazy he hasn’t gotten one of these jobs yet.
this aged very well...
My honest opinion is that these bigger schools want their next coaches to join on immediately and give the new school 100% of their attention, and Vigen is not the type of guy that's going to abandon his team when they still have a chance to be champions.
that's exactly what you put out when you didn't get the job
and this...

I'm wondering if MSU pulled an NDSU and offered more incentives.
I actually spit out my beer with that one .
That doesn’t seem to bother Oklahoma State. They told Morris if they make the CFP that they’ll let him finish it out.
