Michigan State Spartans (official thread)

Best bet now is to stick with Tressel a la Fickell at OSU in 2011, see what anvils come falling out of the sky, or not, and then try again with better timing. I don't think there's an Urban out there for them though.

Where's Joey Freshwater coaching these days? Is he available?

He’s busy driving his kids around Mississippi in a Suburban with a “Salt Life” sticker on the back.

This might have been Dantonios doing to intentionally retire at such a time that getting a replacement would be hard that they would be forced to stick with Tressel for year

Could totally see that.

Look at it this way, Ord; now that UC has become "the cradle of coaches," what's left for Fredo?

Lawn Sports!

He also got 4.3 mil to do it. You know MSU's next contract with a retention bonus is going to include a clause about coaching the following year to receive the full bonus now

There really is no possible downside to this. Fickell leaves, and juggalo tears flow. Fickell stays, and Sparty interviews a mid-major coach and walks out of Cincinnati holding nothing but their dick. I'm down with either.

Apparently, juggalos and spartards have engaged each other in the twitter wars.

They're boned.

Biggest winner? THE. No chance now of Coombs heading down I-71 to take over the Juggalo program, at least not right now.

Fickell reported to be next coach at Michigan State !! That's just WRONG !!

Well, this certainly didn't age well, did it.

I, for one, am more than a little embarrassed that I was so outraged for, as it turns out, no reason.

Urban? There's not a Fickell out there for them.

Freshwater morphing into Freddie Kitchens before our eyes.

I think it did age well. He CLEARLY said the reports were wrong. Learn to read, hoser.

I agree but if you do that as MSU, you have to take the interim tag off and pay him when you fire him in a few years for having a bad record under sanctions (most likely).

Bottom line is the recruiting is going to be abysmal and ultimately, that will caused the proper fuckedness

Is there a word for being "Fickell'ed"
