BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — New Montana State football coach Jeff Choate says his philosophy focuses on character, accountability and toughness.
"The high standards of personal conduct and academic success that are established at this university are going to continue," Choate said Monday at his introductory news conference.
Choate comes to MSU after two seasons as defensive line coach and special teams coordinator at Washington. He also was an assistant to Chris Petersen at Boise State and has been an assistant at Florida, but said his one season with Eastern Illinois made him realize the FCS is what college football is supposed to be.
