Does anyone know the story there?

Successful FCS head coaching experience combined with DC experience at a DC experience at a blue blood is how you get hired to be a head coach at a power 5 school.
Most relevant programs would not just hire an unheard of FCS coach to be their head coach. Shit, this site would declare a jihad on UW Athletics if after Jimmy we hired a random FCS coach who went 11-4 the past year. And on the flip side, the biggest question mark when hiring coordinators to be head coaches is “can they handle being CEO”, and Choate has that answered already. He has all his bases covered now -
Pay raise? Also lines him up to be a DC hire at a major program in 2-3 years if Texas is good (LOL).HFNY said:I did not know he left Montana State (after an 11-4 season) to be Co-DC with Kwat at Texas.

He'll end up as an FBS coach soon. Was really impressed with his work as DL coach here before he left to MSU.
-
Kwat went to Texas and is STILL a co dc? Wtf?
-
I remember suggesting we should go after Choate and being told he wouldn’t leave for another assistance coach position.

Pay raise with no accountability. Smart manPostGameOrangeSlices said:Kwat went to Texas and is STILL a co dc? Wtf?

Every coordinator is a co coordinator these days. Title inflation.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Kwat went to Texas and is STILL a co dc? Wtf?
K calls the plays. And gets paid the most money.
He’s the coordinator. -
(Except Jon Donovan, apparently)
-
I remember saying it was dumb to demote Kwat to keep Jimmy.
Was not a popular opinion at the time. But Petersen wanted it to happen so it did
Kwat stayed anyway and now is co DC again
Some men just know their limitations
Brent Venebles is a DC for life at Clemson if he wants and short of 9 million dollars a year to be head coach somewhere its a smart move

@dnc nailed it. Look at how many assistant head coaches there are plus the co-coordinators plus other made up titles used to increase pay and keep guys around.dnc said:

I think also…..and I could be wrong here but you can’t give raises to public employees unless their contract is up. So you create a new position/new job (Assoc. Head Coach…..Passing Game Coord. ) etcCFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

I could be full of shit though -
Yep word is Will Harris will soon be promoted to Tip Drill Coordinator/ CO-DB coach. Only reason he hasn't left for the SEC.HuskyJW said:

I get leaving to be a tier 1 program DC as a level up strategy to an eventual P5 coaching job, but hitching to Sark's wagon is hilarious to me. I will be gleefully rooting for that program to crash and burn. Boomer Sooner.

Must see TV. I’m petty and I want this whole Sark and ex-Peterman assistant thing to crash and burn. Such a weird UWcentric slurry of a combination it has to be DOOMED! Or it will succeed wildly to torture me. EWIWBI -
In this case it was a blueblood paying Texas money.dnc said:I remember suggesting we should go after Choate and being told he wouldn’t leave for another assistance coach position.

I just tweeted at him to see if he'd be the HC at UW next year after dominating his conference and building recruiting ties in Tejas for 2021.

Choate would never work for Jimmy in a million years.dnc said:I remember suggesting we should go after Choate and being told he wouldn’t leave for another assistance coach position.

Choate could be a replacement for JL after the season because he probably knows the assistants at UW pretty well and could keep the better ones (Keith B, Huff, and Malloe being the first who come to mind).PurpleThrobber said:

Jenn making the next hire is a waste of time -
Problem is we budget way less than many of the other conferences now with the highest cost of living and least amounts of passion. I think it’s just kind of dead.Tequilla said:

I know personally my interest in CFB has been dropping considerably over the last year -
I loved watching Wisconsin vs penn state or Georgia vs Clemson yesterday. It is like watching a different sport though snd my mood doesn’t change based on their outcomes. Its seems to be more like baseball and trining into a very regional sport.Tequilla said:
