The
coaching carousel has been wild in college football this season. Many athletic
directors rushed to give their successful coaches big-time contract extensions
to keep their coaches from moving on to greener pastures.
That
was a big theme in the B1G as both Penn State head coach James Franklin and
head coach Mel Tucker got 10-year contracts that were 75 million and 95 million
guaranteed respectively.
There
were rumors that Michigan State’s Mel Tucker might be thinking about taking the
LSU job that had opened this fall.
No one knew that Tucker was getting looks
from the next level in the NFL until now.
“Before Mel Tucker and his agent Neil Cornrich negotiated a 10-year, fully-guaranteed $95 million extension with MSU that included more guaranteed money than any other college HC, NFL teams inquired to see if Tucker would have any interest in moving to the next level,” per source, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Michigan
State has a hell of a football coach and is lucky they are keeping Tucker for
the foreseeable future.
Michigan
State ended the season 10-2 and 7-2 in the B1G, and the Spartans await their
bowl game destination.
