I heard he was going to be the new president of UM. Those would be really good ramifications

Sure hope to see an announcement soon that Ty is moving up! Will be forever grateful for his contributions to the program!
If he moves up it won’t be the reason he’s not the Cats coach any longer. This one caught him off guard. His agent said as much publicly already. He wasn’t looking for a change.
That is how you interpreted it. His goodbye teeet does not indicate what you are inferring. He has spent many years at this level and it is time for him to move to the FBS level.
There are plenty here besides me who also know what happened. Patience and it will all come out. Can promise he wasn’t trying to leave the Cats.
I hope he is able to find something quick if he didn’t have anything lined up. He has shown he is a good FCS DC.

Connect the dots. The Texas State Head Coach is gonna go with Kingsbury. Stitt is moving from OC at TSU to Head Coach and is hiring Gregorak as the DC.

Tom, I think we have 2 or 3 sets of dots. Everytime I try to connect them all I get is a spiral into a black hole!

Your theory fits almost perfectly, except why would Gregorak want to stay here after being offered the Texas St. job?

Did Choate force him to take it against his will?
....or did Stitt just happen to get the HC job, right after MSU let Gregorak go, and he hired Gregorak as his first official act!

Maybe Kane called Gregorak impersonating Stitt, offered him the DC job, then called Choate and said, "hey Jeff, I heard you might need a new DC"
And everybody lived happily ever after!
The End

I have to say, I did have the thought that Gregorak was a placeholder for someone in mind to come later. Kind of a "come get your feet back underneath yourself and then with my contacts I'll get you some upward mobility somewhere." And listening to Toots and CN, CN kind of says he wondered if Kane was being sent off to learn before coming back. Though to be fair, I wondered if Mess was a placeholder as well, but I don't think I was very close to right about that.

Hot take/conspiracy theory: Choate was hired to come in and mentor Kane so that Choate could prove himself as a head coach and get an FBS job and then Kane could take over as head coach after learning from him. This is part of the plane people!

2nd Hot Take: The phrase "hot take" is dumb speak for "let me give you my opinion"

This whole thing is perplexing. I have a strong idea of what likely happened, but I will wait to hear the story when it comes out. I do not think for one minute that strictly football was the major decision with this move.

I don't think you're way off on your take, but one step too high for Kane. My take is that Choate conveniently helped find Ioane a position on the UW staff so he was able to learn the defensive philosophy that he wanted in a DC. Being an analyst for the team helped open his eyes to situational trends and calls to counter what an offense may do. Now, with a couple years of that under his belt Choate is comfortable bringing him back to install the (more or less) exact type of defense Choate knows and loves that UW runs day in and day out.

Gotta be a Lifetime movie, just add some teen drama, (bullying at practice, or peer pressure in the DC room), add a female heroine, and were ready to go.

I’d put this at about a 1% chance this was a football related move.
I think there is much more than meets the eye, likely personal things going on, and we may get a few more details, but will likely never know the whole story.

And now the Transformers are getting involved?! I think Optimus Prime could be the entire offense by himself. The only thing he needs to change is his red to gold and we're set.

Gregorak is not going to TS, the move has nothing to do with football, and with any luck this will be the end of it. Best of luck to Ty, he did a great job at MSU and hopefully he will be able to continue his coaching career in the future.

Gregorak will be a great hire for somebody and will get lots of attention rather quickly. I bet his agent's phone is ringing constantly.

SUU still is looking for a DC. Their head coaches seem to turnover there as well so it could be a nice stepping stone to the top job
