35-18 Big 10 (11, 12, 14) if my quick math is correct
Its not spectacular given that the conference as a whole has kind of sucked, but it's pretty good. My guess is that's second to THE Ohio St. and Michigan State has been an underachieving mediocre team since the 60's. It's way better than Sark anyway. -
Better than Sark but pretty meh. He's already 57 years old.

I bet he's got a good 6-8 years left in the tank. He's tough as nails and, stating the obvious, would be a huge upgrade over our favorite Armenian. He's not exactly known for offense but the defense would improve immediately. He deserves to be in the conversation.TheKobeStopper said:Better than Sark but pretty meh. He's already 57 years old.

When Oregon puts 50 plus on that dude next year want to see how many of u pimps still squeeling for him

His offenses are epically bad but if we open our pocketbooks, no reason we couldn't hire a top coordinator.RaccoonHarry said:

I like him. His lines play physical and their defense is tough as nails. His offenses usually do suck but he wins. He did tie for a big 10 title one year but I don't know what the tie breaker was.
He is making 2 million and could probably be had with for a significant raise. I am guessing he can't spend as much on assistants there either but I don't know for sure. -
Being 57 shouldn't be a big deal. Not many coaches stay at the same school for 15-20 years. A guy who is 57 could give us 10 good years, which I would take in a heartbeat.

Not throwing this guy out as a candidate, but if anybody watched the Virginia Tech @ Boston College game today, you saw a first year coach at BC (believe he came from Temple) do the following:
1) He's embraced a philosophy that his teams are going to play tough, physical football on the OL/DL
2) Base offense consists of some combination of 5-7 OL/TEs, 1 WR, QB, FB, and RB. They run the ball hard between the tackles and use enough play action and misdirection to keep the defense honest.
3) When they are in positions where they can be aggressive and blitz, they embrace those opportunities to create turnovers.
None of the above is earth shattering football. None of that is sexy. But it is a philosophy and one that you have to commit to if you embrace it. You can't get down 1-2 scores in a game and decide that you're going to change who you are. You trust in what it is that you do.
BC sucks. They aren't a great team. But sometimes watching teams that suck pull off a nice upset in a well played game highlights those that have plans. And conversely, it also highlights when others don't have plans.
Bottom line is that Sark seems incapable of embracing a philosophy or core set of values and running with them. It'll be his downfall. -
Uh, Dantonio = Seven

He had a 29-13 record in conference at msu after 5 years vs whatever shitty record 7 will have after 5 years. Maybe this is a whoosh of some kind.
