Is paying him $5mill a year really the best they can do right now? Feel like letting the season play out would given them better options.

He's a good coach and they were obviously desperate.
Getting 3, 4, 5 coaches into your list and then still having to probably overpay aggressively to land a guy...
You couldn't get Narduzzi to leave Pitt or Luke Fickell to leave Cincinnati for five-and-a-half million dollars? Jesus. Something's not right.

If Fickell or Narduzzi were there number 1 and 2 choices why didn't they throw that type of money for them from the beginning? Seems like this whole firing, search committee and hiring was a sloppy job at best. My thought is that MSU and that search committee didn't realize that the job isn't as appealing as initially thought.
I like Tucker. He can 'croot and was on the verge of building something in Boulder. I hope it works out for him in E. Lansing.

If you have followed anything MSU for the past 2 years, everything has been sloppy from the top down... Why would this be any different??? Too many people pulling in different directions and looking out for themselves.

Pretty much. Nassar scandal pretty much put a black cloud over the whole AD. You couple that with the national media pairing that scandal with separate sexual assault cases with players on both the basketball and football team to create this narrative of a "culture issue" @ MSU, like these types of things don't happen at universities across the country. School President and AD resigning amongst the backlash. It's really a no brainer why they would have to pony up for Mel.

Are things really that bad at CU? On paper that job should probably be better than MSU.
Is Alfano going to stick around now?

yeah, Armond exploits kids. Thats all he cares about. Makes a great living doing it too. He'd be taking a pay cut going to USC.****ty why? Because he gives off a kinda exploitative vibe?

Greg Biggins on Miller Moss v. Jake Garcia: "Moss is a more talented player and that will be reflected in our next rankings. Among their peers in the area, you won't find anyone who likes Garcia more, my guess is if Moss does commit there, I could see Garcia opening things up."
"Moss is kind of the 'people's champion' and most respected among his peers and local coaches. He's the one both MD and Bosco went after this off-season to replace Bryce and DJ. He's so dang smart, on par with say Bryce Young in terms of being chalk board savvy and being able to process things and think the game. Has the quickest release out west and probably the best deep ball accuracy. I'd give Garcia a slight edge in terms of velocity and he has a better frame, bigger kid with more room to grow. They're both great kids but with Miller playing for Premium the last couple of years, he's the guy a lot of the local kids rally around."
casper90403 you were on this way before him.
I don't understand the hype around Garcia. He has the look of a prototype QB, but he doesn't have it upstairs. He's a super nice kid though. Moss is far superior at QB.
Moss almost went to Mater Dei last month but they backed off because Moss wants to graduate early. Instead, MD gets Emmett Brown, the "next" Bryce Young.

Should it? He only had $3.1 million assistant pool there. MSU is doubling that.

No... Its everywhere... There is a lot of evil and entitled people today, just happens that "media" has so many platforms to air it out on

I would imagine NFL is a better bet than retirement... He also doesn't stand up on his high horse like Urban did.

Personally I'd blame college rape culture and a general entitlement a lot of men feel to women's bodies and sex. Now did Urban not do a good enough job drilling that out of them? Probably. But that's a societal problem at large.

Tucker coached at MSU and coached in the Cleveland/Ohio area for ten years. It makes sense as a move. Colorado also, realistically, probably has a ceiling that MSU has already shown it can surpass. He can also probably recruit more easily to MSU than he will be able to at CU. He's not going to beat out UT/TAMU for Texas kids and this was the only year he was gonna beat out SC/UCLA for west coast kids.
And for double the salary, probably with guarantees? The move was a no-brainer for him.
It's just hilarious that he made it a day after claiming he wouldn't.

nah. The pac12 is a wreck. Can’t compete with the Big10 or SEC financially due to the TV deals. MSU makes an additional $22 mill or something than CU just based off of TV deals.
Sure, Tucker did what everyone would do and take more money but would you have spent a week on local radio talking up the program while knowing your agent is trying to get this done? Tucker was at a donor event for CU last night hours before the news broke, is that normal? Is leaving your program high and dry after National Signing Day normal? He a *** *** snake
