My takeaway is that Tuck is gonna get fuckin paid

He should. And anyone who considers taking the job should think about how sparty treats their own.

The lesson here is don't trust old whores.

 

[stpeteirish]

My takeaway is that Tuck is gonna get fuckin paid

But not get hired

 

[NDdomer2]

But not get hired

Which is why he's gonna get paid.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to find out MSU was in on this to create a justified offense to terminate

Gotta think MSU settles to make it go away.

Can't believe how many people bought the original narrative. Every part of it smelt fishy.

Damon Stoudamire was the bball coach she was banging. Hilarious he was on the Celtics staff at the time when they were having their own drama with Ime Udoka's affair

In todays world truth is immaterial. Shaping the story/lies to fit your narrative is the game. Nobody has personal responsibility for their actions.

Indeed. Whatsmore, the public typically takes zero responsibility in waiting for or believing the truth. It's just fake news, a hoax or a witch hunt.

From my point of view, Michigan State has incurred problem after problem now for several years. It would indicate a lack of institutional control. It really makes me wonder if there are any parameters being set for these multi million dollar football and basketball coaches once they arrive. Guidelines should be set immediately from the outset on what is appropriate and what is not.

Everyone is entitled to having a private life, but when you have a public university shelling out tens of millions of dollars to you, you bare a certain responsibility that most others do not. These are the highest paid employees in their respective states more often than not. It would probably be wise to clean up some bad habits and learn to resist certain indulgences.

But not get hired

He's owed like what -- $70M or something like that? He won't need a job after he gets paid.

 

[StPaul_Irish]

First blush: Man Tucker is an idiot, but Ill wait for more info

More Info: This kinda seems like a money grab, but could go either way

More Info: Yeah this looks like a money grab/scorned lover and Mel Tucker is still an idiot (immoral?) but did he really do wrong?

[StPaul_Irish]

Is MSU even a real place?

 

[NDohio]

Wait, what?

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Is MSU even a real place?

Yeah, very fun school, though clearly not well run.

I went to quite a few parties and tailgates in E. Lansing during my college days, including v. ND in 2012.

The girls too, 10/10

0.5/10, apparently

 

[NDohio]

The only thing that would add to the craziness of this story is if the teacher was from New Mexico instead of Louisiana. Bizarre...

I swear, I thought that was a headline from The Onion.

Barstool, so close enough I guess.

Damn. He didn’t die in the finale

Hopefully you didn't major in kinesiology.

 

[ShadesO'Green]

Hopefully you didn't major in kinesiology.

Well… this is awkward

 

[ab2cmiller]

Well… this is awkward

You may want to take Brendan Doyle off your References list.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

They should keep tabs on how Charles Huff does the rest of the way this year at Marshall. They just lost at NC State 48-41 and they're heading into the Sun Belt schedule now. If they keep winning, Michigan State should make inquiries.

 

[Henges24]

Well… this is awkward

Lol, this is really awkward now...

 

[dublinirish]

i just dont think MSU has the clout to get a really top of the board HC hire. When the season shakes out and its the offseason a ton of other P5 jobs will attract the top candidates. They'll be stuck with some middle of the road/rethread hire

 

[IrishSpartan]

To be a MSU alum these days…. Sad because i was there from 11-15 and it was awesome.

 

[dublinirish]

Never thought my girl Audrey would make it to IE

Urban to MSU - will not believe it. They have a better chance at PJ Fleck

Michigan TV network fires sports director for Mel Tucker ‘analysis’ that read more like PR work

The lines keep getting blurrier in the world of sports journalism

Huff from marshall would be very interesting.

They’re able pay better than most, though. You can win there and have pretty solid resources. And the expectations will never be THAT high because you’re always in the shadow of Michigan, Ohio State and to some extent us.

They may not draw a truly elite coach but it’s a pretty good job.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Who has really won at Michigan State besides Dantonio?

You have to go back to Daugherty. Perles was there for a while but he was .500. He won a couple of Big Tens, but Dantonio won more games there than anyone in their history.

Very tough act to follow.

Hey some no name guy called Nick Saban went a whooping 34-24-1!
