Lol. He’s just entering his 3rd year. What was Choad’s record after 3 years?
you said he'd have been fired a year ago. That was after the 2019 season above. If you're going to switch to after his third year, then it's 2018 above.
Yes, but 2019 was Bobby's SECOND year. His 3rd year was canceled.

Dumb career move unless there's some serious problems at MSU Choate is trying to get away from.

You could be an FBS head coach in a few years staying at MSU, instead you go join a guy that will be at Texas 3 seasons tops.

I'm not so sure. I'll admit I don't follow FBS football very closely, but it seems more new FBS head coaches come from FBS assistants than FCS head coaches each year.

G5s definitely take FCS coaches. The P5s not nearly as much.

Another thing to consider is he's going to the Big 12 and it's hard to stick out as a defensive coach there.

Choate's bank account doesn't think it was a dumb move.

There are teams in the B12 that play D. Texas is one of those teams, generally. Not always, but generally, relatively speaking....there were a few glaring exceptions this year for them...wasn’t their best effort.

Isn't D in the B12 trending up while D in the SEC is trending down?

It would appear so. Some of the SEC scores this past season were ridonkulous.

Yep and Oklahoma and Iowa State had pretty good Ds. Oklahoma was probably the 2nd best team in the country at the end of the season.

I like how the went with bigger sets (multiple TEs) to get their mismatches on the offensive side. Clever method to counter talent discrepancy they face (or at least used to face). B12 is an interesting conference on the football side of things.

Yep. And they’re upper middle now and have been for a couple years. QB (ironically) is from Lubbock. :lol:

"Let's hire the offensive coordinator of a defensive team that sucked on offense! Hooray!"

That sounds like the mirror image of when Portland State hired Nigel Burton, whose defenses at Nevada were iffy at best.
