Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
Pretty bad optics with all the talk of "big extension" and then Sparty goes out and lays a complete turd to the Buckeyes. Then if they lose to Penn St. Saturday......geesh! Not saying he doesn't deserve a pay raise, job well done this year. They got plenty of money to dish out to Nassar victims and a head football coach. Yet tuition rates keep skyrocketing
Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
First of all, the money for his extension is all coming from private donors, so it won't affect tuition at all.Mr.Transistor wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 11:28 amPretty bad optics with all the talk of "big extension" and then Sparty goes out and lays a complete turd to the Buckeyes.

I look at the situation differently though. To me, the OSU blowout proves all the more reason why we need somebody who will take us up to the next level in recruiting foremost, and establishing a sound winning program. Whether Mel is the right man is the 95 million dollar question. I believe what he accomplished this year is a borderline miracle. Everybody picked us last in the BTE, and we have won 9 games and are ranked. This team had limited talent and he got the most out of them. People say he got lucky with Walker, but obviously he saw something nobody else did, which speaks to his eye for players. I'm more encouraged for the football future than ever.
That said, we very well could lose to PSU. Nailor and Reed are both out, KW3 is hurt and might not play either. Add that to a host of lineman and it wouldn't surprise me if we just don't have enough bodies to beat them. Again, depth is something Mell can hopefully address.
GO GREEN!

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
I think there are will be a lot of pissed Spartys if MSU loses to PSU this weekend. There's really no reason that MSU can't beat them by 10.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

I've listed some of the reasons above. The spread in Vegas is PSU -1.5.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 10:40 pmThere's really no reason that MSU can't beat them by 10.

Oh, so didn't know Nailor and Walker were both out. That changes things. Going to have to update my free Fox Bet.Honeyman wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 10:54 pmI've listed some of the reasons above.

If you're betting this game, the under is the play.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 11:04 pmOh, so didn't know Nailor and Walker were both out. That changes things.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
I haven't heard Walker is out. Only that he has an ankle injury and is questionable.
I no longer directly engage trolls
Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
They don't really announce who is and isn't playing. It looks like it'll be a gametime decision.craig11152 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 9:06 amI haven't heard Walker is out. Only that he has an ankle injury and is questionable.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
Apparently the contract is signed. It is still pending Trustee approval, but that would seem to be a formality.

It’ll make him the 4th highest paid coach in football… not college football… football.
I think they are trying to prevent another Nick Sabin situation.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.
Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
Saban was there for 5 years. This guy hasn't completed a full, real season - this could set a bad precedent. I remember being pissed when Michigan fired RR for BRADY FUCKING HOKE and threw $3M at him. The guy hit the lottery on the transfer portal and parlayed it into a massive contract. Good for him personally, not so great for the market.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
No, this game basically makes you nail down the winner, and you have to know the exact difference in the score within a point. It's free but hard as hell because you have a 6 game parlay and basically have to hit every game on the nose.Honeyman wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 8:33 amIf you're betting this game, the under is the play.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 11:04 pmOh, so didn't know Nailor and Walker were both out.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
That just it.....the market. There are openings at some of the biggest programs in the sport. LSU, USC, Florida. If that wasn't the case, Tucker doesn't get this contract, Franklin doesn't get a H*** extension, etc.Matt wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 1:58 pmSaban was there for 5 years.

It's a H*** gamble signing Tucker for that long and those bucks for sure. But in today's college game, I think they almost had to.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
The Tucker extension is a giant risk, but I get the market thing. That Franklin deal is TERRIBLE. If Franklin had walked, Penn State is in a much better spot than the last time it was open. You'd have to assume Moorhead would have been interested.Honeyman wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 10:56 amThat just it.....the market. There are openings at some of the biggest programs in the sport.

Re: Mel to sign extension with MSU
Franklin is a great recruiter and a lousy in-game coach. But that Baylor coach is signing an extension, Fickel is supposedly staying put....it's all supply and demand.Matt wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 11:34 amThe Tucker extension is a giant risk, but I get the market thing.
