So instead of the bad look of a head coach of an almost P5 school......it's the bad look of an actual P5 school, who he just told he wasn't leaving to take the very same job he took.

Cool.

If I'm anything but a top-tier football school, when I hire a new HC, I have a contract provision that says if you leave for another job after fewer than three seasons, you owe us everything we've paid you while you were here. I get the people move onward and upward, but 14 months after taking your first HC job is a pretty bad look IMO.

Denver Post article with more details re: Tucker/MSU: https://www.denverpost.com/2020/02/12/mel-tucker-agrees-michigan-state-head-coach-report-says/

Most interesting tidbit is this, although it has to be inaccurate: "CU’s salary pool for assistant coaches, compared to the 13 Big Ten public schools, topped those available only to Minnesota ($3.055 million) and to Penn State ($693,503)."

No way that PSU number is close to accurate unless they maybe somehow pay assistants from some weird source of money that isn't counted as official.

Maybe they give them loans and then tell them they need to bother to pay them back. They've been doing that going all the way back to the Joesus days. Nice technique to evade paying the taxman......

Mr. Paterno was to be paid $3 million at the end of the 2011 season if he agreed it would be his last. Interest-free loans totaling $350,000 that the university had made to Mr. Paterno over the years would be forgiven as part of the retirement package.
