Michigan State looks like they are hiring Mel Tucker

[Irondawg]

I know they have some issues there and their timing was an issue but really surprised that?s where they landed

[smootness]

Kind of surprised Tucker would leave after just 1 year at Colorado. Michigan State is a better job but not by a wide margin. Perhaps speaks to a lack of confidence in himself.

A mid-tier Big 10 program has significantly more money and resources to offer than a mid-tier pac 12 programs. Confidence and resources aren't the same thing.

I get that, but abandoning a program after one mediocre year, especially for one in as much turmoil as MSU, regardless of resources, says to me he questions whether a job any better than Colorado will ever come calling again.

Colorado might have the nicest campus in all of college football too

Yeah, but their facilities & recruiting base sucks.

Ohio State & Texas A&M may have the ugliest campus in college football.

the beauty of your campus means absolutely nothing in college football unless Ole Miss is buying players.

I actually think the article is a good one, and it's something people have noted on here before. The sport is extremely unbalanced right now. In some ways, that favors MSU because it is unbalanced in favor of the SEC right now. And in some ways, that hurts MSU because it is also unbalanced in favor of the elite schools, which we are not.

You may think it's a stretch to use this situation to discuss something else about the sport, but it follows logically.

They're doubling his salary & paying more for assistants.

best concert I've ever been to was at Folsom Field ... Colorado Sunday # 1 and fell in love with the place .... tough place to leave if you're making a nice living
