Michigan State will end up promoting from with in at this stage of the game with so many rejections.

MSU should really give Todd Graham a call over at Hawaii. I understand Michigan State is his dream job.

He's rested, ready, and since Virginia Tech didn't open up he's available.

Coaches that have ran the other way from MSU......

Matt Campbell
Pat Narduzzi
Robert Saleh
Mel Tucker
Luke Fickell
Brent Pry

I'd say so.

Did he not watch the rest of the movie? Things go south fast for all involved shortly after the scene, so I guess Pitt is getting put on probation and he'll get a show-cause in a matter of months.

Who said Luke was fickle?

I think anyone with half a functioning brain working at another school would turn this one down. There's probably sanctions coming down, so, you're going to run the team during it. You have to make progress in one of the toughest divisions in all of CFB while this is going on. Oh, and the guy you're replacing? Yeah, he was good, but when he stopped being great, he was a bum. So, we'll compare you to him. But he was a bum.

This is one of those assignments where I would insist on keeping "Interim" in front of my title. It preserves me from whatever **** is incoming.

MSU interview leaked and Fickell's response

Read that Brent Bielema is interested in the Michigan State job.

He is going to love seeing their non-conference schedule.......

According to the Athletic Colorado HC Mel Tucker after saying no earlier in the process has seen the money at MSU and will take over that dumpster fire as HC.

Hope the best. Beat UN this year.

Wow. Bad look for Tucker. It's one thing to say you're staying through back channels. When you make the declaration on Twitter and leave just days later, that will stick with you.

PAC in ROUGH shape now. Lost Petersen, Leach and Tucker in one cycle.

and didn't lose Helton.

Looks like Tucker will be getting some dough for assistants. He’s a Midwest guy, so this could have turned out worse I suppose.

He was still 5-7 in a conference that was far less difficult than the Big Ten East

In his first season. He has two rings from being on staff at Alabama and Ohio State, plus a lot of pro experience. I just think it could have been a lot worse for Sparty, all things considered.

Eric Bieniemy has to be the #1 target for CU right? But he'll probably be in line for an NFL job after next season.
