congrats to Coach Choate. 

does he stick around for the playoff run or leave immediately?

I was hoping he would stay one more year, but no. Good luck to Choater--just don't take too many of our support staff.

So, who's next at LB Coach?

Promote Bo to co-DC, give him a fat raise, and find a young whippersnapper who can recruit to coach the LBs.

Success means coaches leave. Good luck coach! Thanks for all the work to help rebuild the program.  

I guess programs trying to poach your staff comes with success.  Good luck to him.

Replace him with another killer and keep rolling. 

Congrats, Coach!

Hope you're able to stick around for the next five-six weeks though.

Agreed when I noticed the improvement in LB play.

but isn’t he at Bama?

I’d be shocked if he left immediately 

Get Choice a raise right now!

Yep, losing coaches to HC openings elsewhere means things are going very well here.

I don't think Sark will have much difficulty filling this post, or any other that becomes available, with another badass.

Good luck, Coach Choate!

Seems like a good LB coach and DC, if not as a Head Coach. How is he as a recruiter?

This makes no sense. He has to get to recruiting, assistants and support staff immediately. Glad for him and hope we can land someone as good.

You can do both.

Can one of our analysts be promoted to lb coach for a month?

With that surname he could help us uncover some gems in the RGV

Huh!!  I always thought the 14-18 hr days of coaching was caused by work load. But what do I know.

Yep. I remember correctly we did that in Herman's last bowl.

Don’t get Helobious excited. He’s already 70 pages deep on 2025 247 looking for Hispanic names.

Hutzler is on my list, too. He's at Bama, now... yeah?

Listen. Do not disparage Helo. 
 

As soon as he starts giving stock tips I know who to short and I will be rich. 

Regarding Avalos, Boise pulled the trigger pretty quick on a guy that was a player & assistant at Boise and went 10-4 just last year. They aren't going to handle a slide back to mediocrity well.

Well Sark finished out Alabama's national championship run in 2021 before taking up being Texas HC full time.

But maybe being Nevada Head Coach is just much more time consuming than being the Texas Head Coach. You tell me since you seem to know exactly how coaching job transitions work.

Ive long thought a lot of that is actually caused by vanity. “Yeah, well I sleep on a cot in the office and wake up at 3 am every day.”

He was really funny in Grandma's Boy. Never knew he was this good of a coach

I don't think so. new head coach gig, you gotta get to work hiring staff, recruiting, etc.

Huge salute to Choate who took a demotion (but not a pay cut) to be part of Sark's staff, and really improved our LB play and talent while here.

he's a great position coach, maybe even coordinator

Ha! Why not? He's already been at LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Texas and South Carolina. Time for him to start on his second lap around.

We didn’t hire Sark until after the bowl game (and pretty sure Bama had already won the semifinal). We didn’t hire him on December 3.

i donno if he’s qualified to be a position coach. Maybe an analyst /Red

Edited by B00M

Someone remind me, was Choate the guy Sark went after following the Dildoeater Stoops fiasco?

Right. With the obvious agreement that he come here once Bama's season is over. And the only reason we didn't hire him until after the bowl game was because, you know, we had one. Nevada doesn't.

But I don't know why it wouldn't be the same deal.

I always said once Sark starts a coaching tree that means Texas is back at the top!! congrats!!! 
 

I trust Sark to make a good hire, remember when we lost Stan Drayton?? I think Sark made a pretty good hire as well as Marion.

i think we’ll be alright 

Has Sark earned enough goodwill to try and hire Mike stoops again? 🙂

I mean I guess, but how often do you get an opportunity to coach a National Title winning team? I don’t know the details of when he’s actually leaving I just assumed he’d stay through the bowls

Jeff Choate was an important “culture” hire, IMO. He brought a lot of experience, stability, and winning to the program. I am sure we can make another good hire, but we will miss him. 

Choate was a HEB knothole kid like me. He will always be alright just for that. But he's done a damn fine job as LB coach. That Ant is off ballin like a MFer is truth.

And was mentioning Blackwell's recent play as well...dude's light appears to have come on.

Hook'em coach!

Am I wrong for assuming Payam Sadaat will be promoted from analyst for the remainder of the season? Granted it was at the FCS level but he’s coached LB’s. 

Time to find a fiery D1-AA head coach from a good team!

who’s North Dakota States coach??
