The other thing about Fickell is that he knows the OSU job isn't opening up anytime soon so he needs to take a good job while he has the opportunity.
Michigan State will come up with more money for a legit head coach and staff than Rutgers
Mostly true but not for everyone. At MSU you have to recruit directly against UM and OSU more intensely than anywhere else. You are solely measured against UM and nothing else.It's mostly a no win situation. It's why Saban left. Facilities are good but not great. People from MI know this.
Potentially 4 million max for coach and 5 million for staff is actually top 5 conference big boy money if it’s legit. That alone would for MSU to over pay. I don’t think Coach Mark is going anywhere. Not this year at least imo.
Looks like Coach Flood in disguise. It must have been taken at the Princeton library.
was rumors before the season started that this was his last year. that is the reason he did not fire any staff on offense. All the offensive staff are on last year of contract. Next year msu is expected to take a big step back. they lose everybody on defense. on offense they lose the qb and the backups are not good. they also lose best wr who has as many yards has the rest of the wr combined.
It's more about the legal situation than the offense or on field performance. If they don't fire him he'll likely "step down" or "retire."
