OT: Looking Good for MSU coach Mel Tucker. Contract extension. 10 year $95 million.? Per freep.com
- Thread starter gr82baspartan
- Start date
That's an absolute ridiculous contract price.
Also sounds like LSU is offering about $90 million to Lincoln Riley to be LSUs next head coach.

That kind of contract and money seems risky after 1 good season but I'm not the one signing the checks.
What's the buyout after he goes 6-6 next year and then 5-7 the year after?
If Tucker wins out, wins the Big Ten title and gets to the playoffs he will have done more in three years as a head coach that James Franklin has done in 11.
Private money. Something to you know nothing about. Billionaires, baby.
Speaking of average coaches, you're 0-2 vs MSU last couple if years.😀👍
Keep up the bad work.
And on a side note, instead of ole Ted, did your mean old Ted.?
Cuz if its ole Ted, that reminds me of the bull ring down the way in Tijuana Mexico, where after the bull fights, someone has to pick up the bull $hit.

Yup, and yet,
Get all the money you can, yet, just don't let it get you.👍

Seems like you are on crack, gr82baspartan--PSU curbstomped MSU 39-24 at end of our miserable 4-5 covid season last yr. We weren't even happy about it, so MSU isn't such a big deal to most people.
Fine re to most people. Your opinion.
Luv my team.
Luv my single malt scotch.

I agree. This is a ridiculous contract from MSU. Tucker’s record-
College:
2019 Colorado- 5-7
2020 Michigan St- 2-5
2021 Michigan St- 9-1
Total- 16-13
He got $5.5 million annually for 6 years at MSU (double his Colorado contract and apparently over $1 million more than Dantonio was paid by MSU). That’s after a 5-7 year at Colorado.
1.5 years into his $5.5 million 6 year deal MSU has now upped it to $9.5 million per year for 10 years.
Clearly MSU was worried a higher program like LSU was going to take him away and they panicked.
How many times has Lincoln Riley beaten Nick Saban? Because if you are coaching at LSU that's the main metric that matters. It's not like LSU talent is that much greater than OU's. What's going to change?
Would be great if you become a MSU fan and not post here anymore
Tuckers ridiculous contract should be the biggest incentive for Franklin and Penn State to beat Michigan State next weekend.
It does make you wonder if Tucker was a serious candidate for another job (LSU or USC) and Michigan State had to seriously up the ante in order to keep him this year.
Getting nervous that your secondary rival is now positioned to beat your ass every single year, too?
So who becomes UM's rival now? Because you all claim that MSU is now your rival because you can't beat OSU.
Indiana? Rutgers?
I'm sure one of those directional Michigan teams could step up and be your rival.
Mel Tucker has done a nice job at MSU, "but" people seem to forget his team was almost completely re-built via the Portal with "17 transfers." That would make any HC perform much better than expected for 2021. There were approximately 43 new players on MSU this year. JF has to hit the portal more than he has.
It's much easier coming in and cleaning house when you didn't recruit the players. PSU's portal players ended up all basically playing and you still need to recruit at a high level and mix in the portal.
To identify the talent, actually get it on campus, and develop a cohesive unit is no easy trick.
Good for Tucker, but it's a hoot really. A team captures some magic for one year, and the coach suddenly becomes a football genius.
If you look at the record over the last 20 years, the landscape is littered with guys whose star rose rapidly on the strength of one great year...then fell just as quickly when success could not be sustained.
I'm not saying Tucker will be in that company. Who knows. Meanwhile, going into this year, if you compiled a list of potential hot hires, Franklin would be high on it and Tucker nowhere close. It took only five weeks and one injured QB for that equation to change.
Penn State's goal isn't to get to the playoffs. MSU may have gotten to the playoffs once, but they've scored as many points in playoff games as Penn State has.
And their are those who think College Football is education first and sports second. College Football is big business, Period.
Yep. And UT and OU selecting to go to SEC even though probably will get asses handed to them shows how big biz it has become.
Let's not count the eggs before they're hatched. Meat is ranked ahead of Sparty despite losing to them!! Now that alone should tell you something. If not, then go back to sleep. Sparty must beat Ahiya and PSU, and Ahiya beat Meat in order for Sparty to get into the Big Ten Championship game. Then of course, Sparty must win the conference title game. That's a long row to hoe for an upstart coach with a team which consists of mercenaries.
Regarding the contract extension all I know is Michigan State is not on the list (see below) and therefore, it has very little margin for error in regards to sustainability. Unlike PSU. I say good luck to them. They're going to need it!

Get back to me after Saturday’s game against OSU. By the way, this is Franklin’s 8th season at PSU.
Took the words out of my mouth. Coaches getting $10 mil a year and kids are expected to be happy with the "free education" and a few thousand of stipend. The sooner the have's can break away from the have-not's and start a ~35-40 team league where they can straight up pay players - and we can put a salary cap in place like other professional sports - the better.
At least one of the guys said to be footing the bill for this is a billionaire, former basketball walk-on, and gave $32 million to Spartan athletics when his company went public. Not sure about how wealthy the other is, but it doesn't sound like this would come out of MSU athletic revenue. If they have the money and can do it, more power to them.Let's not count the eggs before they're hatched. Meat is ranked ahead of Sparty despite losing to them!!
