MSU is riding a wave of seniors and is having their dream season this year. Seems like a good time for Vigen to jump if he gets an offer he likes.
I have no idea about these kinds of jobs so I looked it up. He makes 214K a year. Which face it, is great money.
Is there "pressure" at a Montana State? I have no idea.
Now, with that said, he would make at least 10 times that at a P4/5 school, which is clearly life changing money.

Eh not pressure like at a big time program but they’re pretty rabid up there in both Bozeman and Missoula
You have to produce to stay at those places, they’re football towns
So they have their "local" sports talk shows and stuff like that and the fans actually follow wins, not just tailgating.
****, isn't Montana crazy expensive to live in too? Or is that more Wyoming?
Hahaha! Right???To make 214k a year.
I know everyone (but me) makes 214K a year, benches 350, ****s like a porn star and actually is getting fuller thicker hair as they age...but man...sign me up for 214 a year.
Also depends
Id guess those fan bases to be pretty similar sized and it’s regional
I don’t know who the people on the plains root for but NDSU might be closer to 1/4+ of the state than those 2
If you ever get a chance to go to a game at either place do it
It is like NU football must’ve been back in the ‘70s
Very awesome
See, I would imagine it is a blast!
I saw ESPN College Gameday at NDSU once and it looks amazing.
It is like the entire town just embraces it.
I keep pretty close tabs on Wyoming, their fans are begging the AD to fire Sawvel and bring in Vigen
Born in Montana.
It used to be overwhelmingly Grizzly.
Similar dichotomy to Oklahoma-Oklahoma State.
The gap has gotten a little closer but you’re more likely to see Grizzly merch than Bobcat merch.
Is one school "better"?
I have sent a few, very few, students to Montana State and one of the big reasons the mention is the skiing is amazing.
I’m biased because my family is MSU alum.
I think the fair take is that MSU is more respected in the STEM world, but that is limited to my field.
I offered him as a good option before we hired Rhule…
MSU is traditionally the Griz’s little brother other than a couple outlier years in the distant past and a bit more recently. Vigen’s predecessors raised the bar and he has kept up that momentum. But this is MSU’s best year since 1984. The money difference is night and day.
Montana State has become the popular choice and enrollment has overtaken Montana over the past decade. Skiing - bridger bowl is 20 minutes from campus and big sky is an hour - yes, awesome
It has been the Griz by a long shot for a long time but the Bobcats have been trending up along with the general fortune of Bozeman.
Haha! nice!Yes it’s crazy expensive. Best to stay away
I have no desire to move there myself. I don't ski and I like people.
MSU is more the engineering/math/hard sciences school. Hopefully UM can get their act together more in that area while keeping some of their traditional strengths. Both campuses are great but Missoula is tough to beat.
Missoula has great ski areas that have luckily stayed under the radar. Bozeman area has exploded and is basically unrecognizable compared to 20 years ago.
Yes and lots of undersized and/or not quite fast enough CA kids. But lots of local kids too.
I will end up there eventuallyYes it’s crazy expensive. Best to stay away
