Choate to Nevada

[Cledus]

Brittany is a big loss. To clarify, she is not a nutritionist. She is a registered dietician, which requires a master’s degree. She is also a licensed sports dietician and a board certified specialist in sports dietetics. There is a big difference between a nutritionist and a dietician. Nutritionists usually cannot provide medical nutritional counseling or diagnose or treat illnesses. In contrast, a registered dietitian is a credentialed professional. She will be missed and I am thankful we had her for the time that we did to develop the program at MSU. She leaves a great foundation for whoever fills her position.

Probably so, but he was the Director of Nutrition at MSU and her bachelors degree is in Nutrition and Food Science and her Masters degree is in Clinical Nutrition. See her job description. That's probably why people are saying she is a nutritionist. They aren't trying to slight her in any way. She is a registered Dietician/Nutritionist.

Here are her credentials, valid through October 2024.

Quite the list of transfers Choate has accumulated there. One of the OL guys will be playing for his 4th different team in 4 years and will be in his seventh year of college football. Probably graduated years ago and can do whatever he wants now as a Grad Transfer.

Lots of beef on that line next year. Although I have no interest in Nevada as I really disliked the school when they were in the conference, I'm going to watch just out of curiosity the results the former MSU folks attain. I know Reno is one of the few desirable locations in the MWC.

I wonder had Choate waited could he have gotten a bigger school than Nevada? Arizona is now looking for a coach. Washington was looking for a coach and I assume there will be some other jobs that come up because of all the movement. I think Nevada is a good fit for him, and he will turn that program around. Was just wondering….

Arizona just hired San Jose State's coach.

I doubt Choate would've been seriously considered for any Power 5 head coaching jobs. A MWC job is a good stepping stone, if he has success there he's still young enough to make one or two more steps up the coaching ladder.

When was the last time you were in Reno? Legalized gambling everywhere has it a shell of its former city. There are abandoned casinos downtown. It ain’t Tahoe…

Washington and Arizona could easily pay the buyout for Choate if they wanted him.

I don’t think so. He’s doing well and progressing but he needs to do well at Nevada to be considered at a big time P5.

Yeah, as far as P5 teams are concerned, Nevada is Choate's first real head coaching job. For the most part I doubt they give anything below FBS full weight.

Am I the only one who doesn't really care about Jeff Choate anymore? Like I wish him well but I'm not going to pay attention to Nevada football anymore than I did in the past, which was zero. The last game Choate coached at MSU was December of 2019... time to move on.

Nope. He's like an amicable ex. No ill will, but I'm not burning energy or mental capacity on him anymore.

I think it's interesting to follow former MSU coaches and players after they move on. That said, will I be watching any Nevada football games this fall? Nope. Is this another thread that should probably go to the College Athletics forum? Yes, especially since it turns out Choate isn't raiding the MSU roster and coaching staff like people were afraid he might.

My thoughts exactly. The rumored attempt to poach Tommy, Riemer, Grebe etc., plus the hiring of Brittney P. makes me like him even less (for Brittney it's not about football, it's about her career, but he could have found someone else).

Not for lack of trying.

Well, he did raid MSU rosters/coaching staffs, just not very current rosters/coaching staffs.

It's like Wyoming for me. I tend to look at the results every few weeks. I won't be able to know who they are playing or what their record is.

I am with you, brother. I could care less about Nevada, just because he's there. Thanks for your time here, Choate, and everything you did for the program. But he's no better than the players who enter the transfer portal and are playing for their fourth school in five years. A lot of guys knock players about having no team loyalty because they put their name in the portal, but what about a coach like Choate? The guy has never spent more than 4 or 5 seasons in one place. My advice to Wolfpack fans? Don't hang your hat on him, 'cause he ain't stickin' around...

This seems weird to me. It's pretty common for a co-ordinator at the biggest of the big time programs to be considered for a head coaching job. Lots of DCs step up to HC at the same level.

There are at least 4 Power 5 DC/OC to head coach promotions or hires this year already. (One position coach to HC)
