Choate May Be In Trouble

[CatsNoMatterWhat]

…Texas getting manhandled by West Virginia. D looks awful.

I feel bad for Choate. I really liked him. I think he may have leapt at the wrong opportunity.

I posted last week that he’s going to get fired solely because Kwiatowski makes to much guaranteed money as DC so co-DC Jeff gets to be the scapegoat.

A million for one season is a nice little chunk though. Wonder if he’ll take the NAU or Idaho job?

[BelligerentBobcat]

So here’s a take.

Choate left a year earlier than he should have, and MSU is better off for it.

And that’s not a slam on Choate. I loved him here, good coach. But we’re in a better place with Vigen.

Fantasy prediction…Choate gets hired on Vigen’s staff next season and I die and go to heaven.

No need to respond, I know neither Choate’s return or my admission to heaven are ever going to happen.

I was saying the same thing to some other folks last night. Would we still be good? Yes but I think we would have lost to at least 1 of Weber and Eastern.

I do not feel sorry for him one iota. glad he left.

[seataccat]

Hitching your future to a flake like Steve Sarkisium was definitely a bad idea.

You’re glad the guy who never lost to the griz left?

[BozoneCat]

Any chance he wants to take $100,000/year to coach one game?

He’s a troll, and not even a good one.

Loved Choete, but it was time. We'll see on Vigen, that offensive scheme today looked like they had no clue UM was going to blitz all day long as they say on Remember the Titans.

The Texas football program is in a free fall. The boosters have no patience. It is not a good situation.

Ouch.

Isn’t messinhahm still at k state? So choate is coaching against a coach that he might of pushed out of town.

I think Messingham got offered the OC position at NDSU and wasn't pushed out by Choate.

Correct.
I never really warmed up to Choate. It appeared to me, based on his track record, he would do what he needed to do to move on. He did and he did.

What if I told you one of the factors in his leaving was he thought MSU was at the peak of what could be done here?

Maybe, but I find that hard to believe. Are you implying he didn’t think we could win a Big Sky or NC title?

[Common Cat]

I also wouldn’t be surprised if he has some regrets now.

[bertram]

Vandal fans are drooling at thought of him being let go.
