He's been a head coach for one game in his entire career.  He was interim coach for ATM's bowl game after Sumlin was fired.  I's not very likely.  The only other example of a FBS school doing something like this is Clemson and it was a very different situation.  Dabo had been there for 5 years as an assistant and coached for half the season as interim head coach before they officially hired him.

This is Washington State. They can afford to take these type of chances. Hopefully we force him to take Kwiatkowski with him.

I would think Choate would draw more interest from Wazzu.

This would make way more sense.  His entire coaching tenure has been in Washington, Idaho, Utah, and Montana prior to coming to Texas, along with 4 years as a head coach at Montana. 

Not to mention his team at Montana got better every year 

4-7 -> 5-6 -> 8-5 (second round of FCS playoffs) -> 11-4 (FCS semifinals)

IIRC Choate was quoted after his hire here that the move from HC at a small school to linebacker coach at Texas would actually help him land a higher profile HC gig in the future.  Something like that.

Just saw that Rolovich is suing. That is going to be a complete mess, I wouldn't worry about Banks at this point.

Waste of time.  He won't win

And if I were WSU I'd look for a guy that can recruit Texas

I mean as @closetojumpingsaid the likeliest reason it happens is because we can't have nice things or whatever, but when has Washington State ever been a destination school for a hot name? There's only one I can think of and he almost doesn't count because he's so weird.

Going back in time here is the list of schools where Washington State hires have come from:

Washington State
Hawaii
Unemployed
Eastern Washington
The Citadel
Weber State
Wyoming

I don't see them hiring Banks or Grinch.

Grinch from OU should be their top candidate.

Choate makes a lot of sense at Washington State.  Grinch probably waits for a different HC gig.

You do know that Grinch coached there from 2015-2017 right?

You know that I'm making a joke, right?

Did you miss the part about Banks being an ex player? If they want him he's taking it..

Not to mention the gf and monkey have expensive tastes, cant live on assitants salary.

Why would that change anything?

They still have to hire a coach

Depends on how his contract is written.

I thought they might go after the HC of San Jose State, Brent Brennan, or if they miss Leach, and the air raid, Graham Harrell current OC out of USC. 

 

Why would Harrell give up tailgating in a boat at USC to work in Pullman?

They are firing him for cause. He claimed a religious exemption and he’s Catholic. The fucking pope says go get vaccinated. Unless he has a clause that says he hast to be paid even if he is fired for cause, he’s fucked

He's a contract employee, they won't be able to get rid of him for cause on a newly created condition.  He's gone but will get paid to leave.
