Michigan State Spartans (official thread)

The Michigan State coaching search cost a pretty penny in a number of ways.

Obviously hiring Mel Tucker as the Spartans new head coach resulted in him nearly doubling his own salary after leaving Colorado. Then the school ponied up to give him a huge salary pool too.

But finding Mark Dantonio’s successor also resulted in the school cutting a rather large check. Six-figures, in fact, for not very much work.

As uncovered by MLive.com, MSU plaid search firm DHR International a hefty $100,000 for roughly two weeks of work as part of landing Tucker. The firm was officially retained on January 31 — a few days before Dantonio stepped down — and Tucker was hired roughly eight days later.

Every time I hear about one of these search firms, I remember I’m in the wrong consulting field.

They could have hired any message board... well, maybe not any... we'd still be talking to Cowher and Tressel the Elder on some boards.
But this isnt rocket science.
How do you justify paying an AD 7figures if they need to pay consultants to hire somebody.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine works in the Facilities Department. She told me that they had a big meeting where they were told there is going to be a re-organization and maybe some lay-offs. She said it was because of the Nassar and Dantonio messes.
