MSU fans are hyped here, its pretty disgusting that none of them remember the rapey vibes off his program and how he took his bonus money then quit two weeks later. He's a scumbag.
I think it makes sense from an Athletic Department standpoint. You're not going to make a splashy hire during the season, he knows the program inside and out, and maybe they forgot how bad he was before he stepped back but it was a good way to calm the commotion and get fans excited I guess.
My question was rhetorical in nature. I probably should have made that clear.
Phrasing.
Pretty sure all of those recruits were quickly out the program for being criminal sex offenders.
Per statement he was separated from wife at the time.
I read he was estranged from his wife but not separated from his wife. 95% of the husbands out there are estranged from their wives….
I'll take your word for it. I honestly stopped giving a shit.

I know some Spartan fans are already throwing around Elko's name as a target.
Hugely fucking debatable
Good catch. Thanks
I think it’s to be expected that some folks will point out race in Tucker’s situation……especially since this appears to be a she said/he said incident.Well I certainly don't think its a racial thing...more like a guy possibly stepped on his dick thing.... but there is an article on Deadspin that goes into the lack of Black Head Coaches.... I don't like the tone of the article but facts and numbers are hard to refute:
"This season in college football, only 14 Black men will serve as head coaches out of the 133 programs on the Division I level. That number will be 13 after Tucker is officially fired. Only seven — soon to be six — of them fill that role in the Power Five, which includes 69 programs."
Deadspin | Mel Tucker was the highest-paid Black coach in college football history — he blew it because he’s a creep

MSU will likely hire another Black Head Coach to neutralize the fall-out.
The headline in general,... my first thought is if I'm a person who is accused of something and I didn't actually do it I'm suing the shit out of them for that story. I'm not saying he did or didn't do anything, but man our culture is crazy with this rushing to judge and flame people stuff. How about we let this play out before stuff like that? Or just stick to reporting what is actually happening without the labels etc??Well I certainly don't think its a racial thing...more like a guy possibly stepped on his dick thing.... but there is an article on Deadspin that goes into the lack of Black Head Coaches....

73% of all statistics are made up. The other 68% are questionable at best.
This was my earlier point.
Now do the number for Asian and Native American coachesWell I certainly don't think its a racial thing...more like a guy possibly stepped on his dick thing.... but there is an article on Deadspin that goes into the lack of Black Head Coaches....

Think the point is more the proportion of players/coaches.
I don't want to derail this from Tucker, but a quick google search shows the black population is 12% of US citizens. "In 2021, 40.1 million people in the United States were non-Hispanic black alone, which represents 12.1 percent of the total population".Well I certainly don't think its a racial thing...more like a guy possibly stepped on his dick thing.... but there is an article on Deadspin that goes into the lack of Black Head Coaches....

The more relevant stat might be that something like 50-60 percent of FBS football players are Black.
How many Asians and Native Americans are players? Jim Thorpe hasn't been in college for a long time, ace.
Are you really serious? Its about Players and Coaches makeup. Thats it. I think you are going down the wrong analysis.
FWIW on any recent year between 55 and 65% of the D1 FBS Football players are African American.
