Re: Vigen Oregon State rumors.
It doesn’t matter at all, but I’m curious as to what happened here.
Did OSU pick Shep? Did they want Vigen to commit right away and he said not until the playoffs are done? Just curious what you’ve heard. Bias set aside, I would have preferred Shephard for the job if I was an OSU fan.

Re: Vigen Oregon State rumors.
Vigen didn't exactly wow us when he came in. Mainly because we went from a fiery smooth talker to a smoldering soft-spoken giant. Luckily Leon saw what existed underneath.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Wed Nov 26, 2025 5:37 pmIt doesn’t matter at all, but I’m curious as to what happened here.

There are some very unhappy Beaver fans on their forums, other social media etc.

"Oregon State Beavers
Brent Vigen is out in the Oregon State football coaching search"
Just reiterates what we have all heard but Oregon Live seems to have the pulse on the coaching hire at OSU.
Plus this.
https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-o ... arch-takes
"Is Jonathan Smith tired of the snow?
Is Justin Wilcox coming back to his home state?
Or is JaMarcus Shephard about to get his first shot?
Those became questions to ask on Wednesday when Montana State coach Brent Vigen announced he was staying at his school.
Vigen is officially off the board of Oregon State’s football coaching search. Montana State’s athletic department announced it by posting on social media that “the journey continues in Bozeman.”

Re: Vigen Oregon State rumors.
Time for a new athletics director- NOT named Leon.
While registering my vehicles the assessor stated "I have had both Cat and Griz students and alums work for me and the Griz end up working under the direction of the Cats."

Damn, if Shepard and Wilcox both say no who will they target then? Hope they don't pivot back and agree to any demands Vigen had....

Re: Vigen Oregon State rumors.
Well yeah, have you looked at your situation? Not good.Brent wasn't all that receptive to the #gobeavs situation.
Makes me wonder if Vigen is just going through the process with these bad FBS teams for 1) leverage with MSU, 2) get his name out there for actual good programs and 3) staying sharp selling himself and his vision.
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

I think it would be awesome if in three years Leon and vigen come back and say they have been gauging where the market is and building a war chest to be at the top of the pac/mw whatever’s and immediately are competing at the top

Re: Vigen Oregon State rumors.
I ponder if the contractual payment clause in Wilcox's contract had someone behind the scenes sharpening their pencil since they know he will make it up elsewhere.
None of the other candidates will be getting paid from their former employer for the next two years.

Just a reminder that there’s a lot of people on Twitter who make ****** up just to get attention. Not saying this is one of them or not, I don’t know, but stay skeptical unless it’s a legit reporter.

DING DING DING. Go back far enough and you’ll find that this account is a duck fan. It’s already been proven by us. That around has tweeted at our recruits saying “Corvallis doesn’t like black people, be safe and don’t come”.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Wed Nov 26, 2025 9:33 pmJust a reminder that there’s a lot of people on Twitter who make ****** up just to get attention.

I could post this tweet and watch the beav fans lose it dealing with this fraud again
