Choate to Nevada

[Long Time Cat]

Reno over Bozeman, got it
Must like the live gaming

...and probably a pay raise.

Pay raise with lower cost of living, and Power 5(4) aspirations. Good career move.

Not sure why you would ruin a good thread by inserting logic into it.

Is the assumption that she will be replaced or is there a chance they just have existing staff and/or student assistants/interns take it on and allocate the money somewhere else?

I would hope they locate a good qualified replacement. I don't believe they can have students or interns do the job. I guess we will see how much Vigen values the position.

Okay, so far I count these MSU connections to the UNR football staff. Is there anyone I'm missing?

1. Choate
2. Ioane
3. Armstrong
4. Thomas
5. Price
6. Patera

Matt Lubick is widely expected to be named Nevada's OC once he finishes his medical treatments. Didn't play or coach for MSU but a strong family connection obviously exists!

Patera wasn't just doing Nutrition for the Football Team. She was responsible for all DI sports at MSU. This wouldn't be a Vigen only decision.

I wrote Vigen because the reason the position exists is because Choate made it happen and hired Patera. If Vigen wants the position to continue to exist, he will be key to the decision.

They probably always had interns help but I thought the inclusion on this announcement was interesting.

Yeah, I saw that on Twitter too. I think those positions are for the folks working the fueling stations and on the sidelines/court side with hydration, but I’m not certain of that. An educated and registered dietician/nutritionist position really couldn’t be replicated by a student volunteer.

Nutrition is more important than a lot of people realize. North Dakota State has Sanford Medical Center handle their athletes blood type and nutrition needs. Let’s them maximize athletes red blood cells, strength, and conditioning. Hopefully we spend the money and do it right with the correct person. Choate made a great move one he brought a nutritionist on staff

Multiple coaches outside of football have also talked about how crucial it has been to have the full-time nutritionist on staff. I have very little doubt that the position will be refilled, hopefully they can find a great candidate who can continue the great work Brittney did while she was here.
