Mel Tucker to sign extension

[Faux Sean Callahan]

95mil over 10 years

Makes him the highest paid African American coach in the USA.

Mike Tomlin makes 8mil and he only won a super bowl.

 

[David Webb]

What’s the buyout?

 

[Tyneb23]

 

[Baron Winnebago]

That seems like an overreaction, but good for him

 

[JankTheTank]

Nebraska was ahead of the curve on paying a coach around ~$1 million per win.

LSU supposedly is offering Lincoln Riley $12 million/year (8 year, $96 million)

It would be easier for him to build a defense there. He could hire Chinander.

 

[God is a Husker]

. He could hire Chinander.

Oklahoma should let him go for that

 

[Eaton Beaver]

Oklahoma should let him go for that

Disagree on this Dr. Tom If he is smart he'll stay and if they're smart then they'll allow it.

“Not on my watch”

I think these crazy salaries for coaches show us money wasn’t as big of a factor people were making it with Nebraska and Frost especially if a team like MSU is offering that type of coin.

It’s not their money. Why would they give af? Might as well spend someone else’s money to keep him from going to LSU

The Two Donors Funding Mel Tucker's Reportedly 'Prepared' $95 Million Offer

The financiers of Tucker's nearly nine-figure contract extension are both Michigan State alumni.

www.google.com

The answer is Mat Ishbia and Steve St. Andre, according to the Detroit Free Press, two Michigan State alumni with a love for their alma mater that nears nine figures. The pair's contribution to the extension will make Tucker the highest-paid Black head coach in American sports, and the second-highest paid coach in college football behind Alabama's Nick Saban.

Ishbia graduated from Michigan State in 2003 and was a walk-on member of the school's 2000 national championship men's basketball team. He is the president and CEO of mortgage lender United Wholesale Mortgage, a company founded in 1986 by his father. Ishbia has a net worth of $6.7 billion, according to Forbes.

St. Andre received his undergraduate degree in marketing from Michigan State and his MBA from Michigan in 2004. He is the founder and CEO of Shift Digital, a marketing firm that creates websites and other digital tools for clients. He previously worked as the president and CEO of Ford Direct and as the director of corporate development at AutoWeb.

Every AD in the country even MSU's AD after hearing this....

 

[Bootleg11]

He’s done a great job this year. And I realize this is proactive because of LSU. But that is a big leap for MSU on a guy that struck gold with an RB transfer (among 30+ Other transfers) and is 16-13 as a head coach.

On the other hand if he’s the guy then why not do everything it takes to keep him? He is 2-0 vs Michigan

 

[Irv]

Surprised these alumni aren’t organizing an alternative golf tournament to rally the troops to fire this non-Spartan carpetbagger and using their money to force the AD to hire Jeff Smoker.
