I’m back guys! This is one of my favorite things to track in college sports, coaching changes. It’s kind of my MO. While we all loved Craig Smith there are plenty of good Big Sky and Big West options out there. If they would’ve hired Smith a week ago, my top choice would’ve been Shantay Legans at Ea...

Lots of posters on their board like Choate. None of them go by the user name mtag which surprised me. Hey now :lol: I take a couple weeks off from the board and this is how I’m treated In my absence 😂😂😂 Even though I advocated for Choate here, this is his dream job. He’s an Idaho native and worked ...

Anderson's name was thrown around a couple of times, but honestly how many people (outside of those in the know) actually thought this guy would be the next head coach of our beloved aggies?

MTAG

Ok, here are my general thoughts on this hire. This is a good hire, not a great hire. It was clear all along that Hartwell wanted an offensive minded coach, and for good reason. it just bothers me so much that he was dead set on getting an offensive minded coach that he didn't really give a sniff at...

k Whats the hurry. There are only 4 division 1 coaching vacancies. Vanderveldt will get the first choice with the money they have to spend. The other programs looking for coaches only pay in the 500k range. From a money standpoint we should be attractive. We should be able to find and Hire a good c...

Prediction: Jamey Chadwell will be coaching Tennessee either next year or the year after. Tennessee is currently 2-8. If Pruitt isn't fired after this year, he'll be on the hot seat next year. Chadwell is from Tennessee and played college ball in the state. I would love him, but he is going to be m...

South Carolina job is filled with Beamer.
Nothing against Hartwell, but they got things done much quicker than us.

Vanderbilts job is open.

This coaching search is an absolute mess! This is what happens when the AD refuses to give any information at all, you have a bunch of speculation. At least like an update on how it’s going and when he plans to have this wrapped up would be nice, but nothing at all is extremely frustrating. How do ...

I also do not believe that Buffalo is harder to recruit to than USU. I agree with that statement. I don't think it is increasingly easier to recruit to Buffalo as well. I don’t think it’s easy to recruit to any MAC school. Short of it being my only offer or wanting to stay close to home, what kid i...

it is down to two.......

there could be multiple reasons why there has been no announcement at this point in time.

But JH has his final two

Can you give us a hint as to who they are?

When is the press conference for Chico or Maile going to happen? I am getting bad flashbacks to 2015. Hope it just paranoia and nothing else. Relax! There’s a lot of other very good candidates out there still that we won’t have to hire one of those two. Even if we have to get an FCS coach, which I ...

Just hire Jay Hill and get going. I’d still like them to take a long look at Jeff Choate, but I know that’s just wishful thinking on my part. Have you told your husband to apply? :joking: Well we know we have Chico to fall back on. I’m not gonna lie, that was actually hilarious 😂 all I’m trying to ...

Sounds like Harrell turned it down. This doesn't surprise me. I heard he turned down washington state last year(not sure if true). Why would he do that then come here. I’m confused??? How do you get multiple people saying he’s the head coach and then say he’s turned down? And who told you this info...

So if Harrell told them no thank you, then that means we didn’t get our first choice. That means this is gonna potentially open up the door for guys like Choate, Hill and Maile. If I’m Hartwell, with how disastrous this whole year has been, now I am looking at Hill or Choate or some other head coach...

You can’t do that! You can’t just tell us you know and then not say anything. You either have to know and not say anything at all

or you have to know and you have to tell us!

I watched a rebroadcast of the Montana-Montana State game from last year. Choate it the real deal. Taking a program with much less resources and recent tradition than the Griz and totally sticking it to them, and beating them 4 years in a row. He is an excellent coach. This my friend is exactly wha...

After doing a little research I noticed a ton of our players are following Jeff Choate. This might be a sign. I find it curious.

God damn it you had me so excited for a minute

don’t ever do that again!

I must admit, the results of this poll are very surprising to me.
Surprising that crazyag and MTAG haven't voted yet

I’ve been busy at work all day

just got my vote in for Choate, but you all already knew how I felt about him

I’ve listened to Gonzalez (sp?) since he was hired and I think he’s doing a fantastic job. He’s got Rocky Long in a perfect role down there. Energy, knowledge of NM, and he’s great at Xs and Os. UNM has been cursed by COVID more than any other team. His QB injury’s have hurt him too. We are dang lu...

Of what not to do in this coaching search. They just had to hire a former player who in my opinion, was not ready to be a head coach yet. I know they didn’t have very attractive candidates, but man I felt like he was arguably one of the worst candidates. I know Jay Hill wanted the job and was in the...

Obviously let's make it reasonable. Don't put down Nick Saban or Bill Belicheck or anybody we know is not interested. List your top 5 reasonable candidates that are likely to be considered for the job. I'll go first. 1. Jeff Choate 2. Jay Hill 3. David Yost 4. Graham Harrell 5. Brian Johnson Alright...

This will be my last statement on Jeff Choate, since I know you’re all getting sick of me hyping him up. I found the clip of the final play of the 2018 Montana-Montana State game I attended. In this game the bobcats were trailing 22-0 in the game and came back to win 29-25 by forcing a Montana fumb...

Keep in mind one thing Hartwell is looking for is a CEO type head coach. Disclaimer I know nothing but some one from Bill Belicheck, Pete Caroll, Nick Saban, Dabo Swimney [emoji269] could be in play....

Was it last year that Hill almost beat the best team in our league this year (nevada)? It was like 6-3 or something 6-0 loss to SDSU. Ok, I thought they played Nevada in the last couple years under Hill. Not the first time I’ve been wrong. They did play Nevada last year and lost by 9. They had a ba...

Another potential coach to consider is Scott Frost at Nebraska. He hasn't done great this year and he could be available. Here's why he could be a good fit with us: - Has had success at a G5 School - Has plenty of experience recruiting in Florida and Texas - Could have several players at Nebraska t...

MTAG

I’ve been pretty candid about this, but we need to take somebody who’s a head coach right now. That doesn’t leave us with a lot of options but it does give us some good options with Hill, Choate, and possibly some of those MAC or Sun Belt guys we discussed (If we’re able to get them). I think this i...

Does anyone have any new information they can share? I get that this is being played extremely tight to the vest, but some sort of update would be nice.

MTAG

Ya there's no doubt that there is likely a large pool of candidates because of less openings. The thing that I will be really interested to see is how many openings pop up in the PAC 12 or Mountain West (unlikely with half the league hiring new coaches last year) and if that steers away some of our ...
