Semi OT: Mel tucker extension at MSU

[CAT5Coming]

16-13 career and he's making more than Mike Tomlin, Eric Spoelstra, Lamar Jackson, Dalvin Cook, Trae Young and Bruce Arians.

College football is wild!!!!

Yeah he is a defensive guy, and his defense isn't good. He hit big on Walker who is the best RB in America this year. No one could see that coming.

Ohio State may hang a 50 burger on that defense this week.

Wild for sure. Last year alone, colleges dished out over $350M in dead money alone (i.e. money that was owed to coaches/staff due to buyouts). Crazy.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Shocking but not at all shocking, if that makes any sense.

 

[Baba Yaga]

Good for him for getting paid though.

 

[MichiCANE]

They should take the buyout money and use it to get Fickell. That's a job i could see him taking and flourishing in.

Fickell already turned it down once

 

[QuattroCane]

That's just stupid.

 

[RiDLer80]

I am shocked by his success at MSU.

I'm a Chicago Bears fan and he had historically bad defenses in Chicago. Maybe the pro game isn't everybody. He's the perfect fit at MSU, though.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

He's a good coach

He's not 8 million a yr good...

 

[NE Canes]

Wow. Good for him.

State really got nervous with his name coming up all over. Everyone looking to price their coaches out of the market.

Fickell already turned it down once

During one of their games, commentator mentioned he didn't want to leave the area. Had never heard that about him. Guessing that would mean he wants a Big 10 job?

 

[RiDLer80]

Wow. Good for him.

I wonder did LSU really have interest in him or did his camp just put that out there for leverage in negotiations. $8M after one good season is a ****load.

 

[QuattroCane]

Mel's getting the "Bridgewater Bump" ask ole Charlie about that.

Fickell turned MSU down when D’Antonio left.

 

[KrazyCane]

All that highest paid “African American” head coach talk is slick racist bs… just report that he’s getting an extension for 8+ million and stfu.

 

[nobeastofburden]

Fickell turned MSU down when D’Antonio left.

Did he really? Didn't know that. Huh

 

[Hurricane4lyfe]

Boy once that transfer portal drys up Michigan state will be on the hook for some fools gold.. seems like the dolphins um way Kenneth Walker gone too lol

 

[TemplarCane]

Did he really? Didn't know that. Huh

Fickell wants the Ohio State job if Day leaves. Maybe ND if Kelly leaves.

 

[nobeastofburden]

Fickell wants the Ohio State job if Day leaves. Maybe ND if Kelly leaves.

Well yeah I knew OSU was the dream job. Just didn't know he turned down MSU. That surprises me.

 

[Zombie-Cane]

Mel Tucker getting a cool 8mil for a .551 winning %. Meanwhile, Manny is over here looking for his extension for his .559 winning %.......................LOL
