Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
Mel Tucker's posturing to get a bigger pay day from LSU has NOTHING to do with Michigan. Little brother complex is alive and well though.

You look at that, and it makes you wonder how much private money is being funneled into college programs through the new name, image and likeness (NIL) guidelines.moldyoldie wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 10:17 amThe Freep is reporting it's for ten years!Mostly funded through a couple of billionaire alumni.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
Well, I think it's great. Rumors were out there LSU was offering him (now Lincoln Riley) similar $. MSU knew they would have to step up to keep him and they are. Is he overpaid considering his track record? Absolutely. But this is the current climate of college athletics and I'm glad MSU is willing to pay and play with the big boys. I suffered thru the Muddy Waters, Booby Williams, John L. years. I'm happy to support a school that is obviously serious about our football program.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
This has Charlie Weis written all over it - I'm not saying that this will go the same way, but it seems a bit strange based on really one partial season. Tucker took advantage of covid transfer rules (completely legal btw) and found a gem in Walker. Does it strike you as odd that the numbers are out before a contract is signed?

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
When I posted the Yahoo article a week ago (no longer available) it was 5 years....now freep is saying 10. I guess we will see what the real numbers are eventually.Matt wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 12:36 pmThis has Charlie Weis written all over it - I'm not saying that this will go the same way, but it seems a bit strange based on really one partial season.

I think what Mel has done with this team is amazing. Everybody picked us last in the BTE. I thought we'd win 4 games. Somehow, he has us in the playoff hunt, despite a horrible secondary.
Wake Forest didn't even start Walker, and nobody else saw anything in this guy but MSU. Is that just luck or an eye for talent?
The 2022 recruiting class is shaping up as our best ever. I think Tucker has the right attitude and personality to be very successful. We can bump this thread next November, 3 years from now, whenever. Time will tell.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
It seems odd that there is so much media attention on a contract that isn't signed.

Color me shocked you are thinking this is a bad move for MSU.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
I have always said that MSU is a great job and isn't a stepping stone job and I'm glad that Mel sees that.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
I haven't said it's a bad move, but there simply isn't enough data that he's worth it. Also, it seems like negotiations are ongoing as the contract has not been signed. Couple that with the fact that he lied about staying at Colorado THE DAY he agreed to terms with State, and it is pretty clear what is happening here: State is leaking details publicly to either a) put Tucker in a spot where he feels coerced to sign, or b) put out what the budget could be for someone new because they know #TuckLeavin.Honeyman wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 11:23 pmDifferent teams, different people, different times.Matt wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 7:34 pmBrady Hoke once went 11-2 and was wildly popular with players, but that didn't make him a high level FBS coach.Honeyman wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 7:12 pmWhy...it's a gamechanger.Matt wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 6:12 pmIt seems odd that there is so much media attention on a contract that isn't signed.

It's a 100 million dollar deal. I am sure there are quite a few details to be worked out here. These transactions take a little longer than you buying a box of tampons for your period.
