The Mel Tucker quandry

Mel went 11-2 and got the big extension. Turns out the money would have been better spent on keeping Kenneth Walker there
DeBoer beats Tucker and could possibly go 11-2 himself coming off 4-8
Does UW spend the money on DeBoer or Penix?
Why not both?
DeBoer has been under the radar with Lamboing and Reilly getting the pub.
Is college football still insane or can we see how DeBoer does in year 2 before giving him 100 million?
First world problem

Fix the defense and the dead weight staff in that side of the ball and then talk extension

You pay him in that scenario. Any other take is fucking insane and FS
11-2 in your inaugural year is commendable. DeBoer is a winner at every location he has been at. He hasnt once sucked.
Could he still pull a Tucker? Doubtful, odds are very very low. You take the risk.
UW has resources but needs a strong football program to fund Title IX sports. Upper campus might look down at football but they aren't completely naive.
Pay DeBoer, pay the players, win NY6 and playoff games, beat Oregon. -
How many huge contracts given after year 1 have panned out across cfb? Is it none? Say what you want about the UW administration but I don't think they're blinded to reason by a few wins. I agree they should pony up more assistants money this year to keep the good one and run the bad ones then tell Deboer to do it twice and they'll be nice

Who's in the market for DeBoer after 1 year? Nebraska?
Didn't Tucker have a connection to MSU? He was a grad assistant there.
Just trying to get a sense of how strong the market is for a 1 year of Power 5 experience DeBoer. -
Tucker also had the SEC Georgia shine and was hailed as a big-time recruiter for pulling guys to Colorado in his one season and understanding the bag game.
For a school like MSU that is probably 5th in line at best for recruits in the conference (7th with UCLA and SC incoming), they fell prey to the recruiter>coach trap -
i just hope sparty gives tucker one more year to get his guys in there.
after that, sparty, do as you must.
