Not notable. Never played past college. Only a college coach, has yet to reach the NFL. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:59, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Light keep - Being the headcoach of a notable college football team probably grants some degree of notability. It's good to have the coach's page before his future prospects (if he has any) in the future. You never know, he might move onto the NFL. CatcherStorm ^talk 08:27, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep My presumption is that the head coach of a Division I FCS program will likely pass WP:GNG. Choate was just hired as a head coach two weeks ago. There was significant coverage of his hiring and will likely be additional coverage as his head coaching career progresses. Examples of recent significant coverage include this from The Seattle Times and this from USA Today.
Keep. Head coach of a Division 1 (FCS) program, there's sufficient coverage already to pass GNG and support the article, including the sources cited above and others such as [1]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:57, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a WP:GNG pass, per Cbl62 and Arxiloxos. An NCAA Division I head football coach is notable. Ejgreen77 (talk) 01:40, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
