You see this happen a lot - a coach catches lightning in a bottle and has a great season, school panics and breaks the bank to keep him, coach never replicates that level of success. It would be the equivalent of us paying Saban $ for Zook after the 2007 season or Coach K $ for Weber after 2005. Maybe Tucker really is that great a coach, but if it were me I'd want a little more than one year as proof.

Agree on Tucker, I didn't know much about him and didn't think he'd be the answer for MSU, but if he can get that kind of $$ after this pretty amazing year at MSU, awesome for him.
Frankly, I hope he elevates MSU to being a top tier program, the more of those in the B1G the better, assuming BB can keep improving the Illini.
Former Illini AC Paul Petrino is now former Idaho HC too as he was let go today. He leaves with a 33-65 record. Not often you see a coach have one winning season make it 9 years.
I think Jim Mora is best but Coach Husby is the great football coach I've ever seen mann...
I thinks Idaho had other things going on that allowed that. Money and stuff can play a huge role.
Oh definitely. I’d guess they gave him new contract/extension after his winning season. That would have likely took him through this season or next.
Once Kliff Kingsbury turned 19-35 over 6 years in the Big 12 into an NFL head coaching gig I stopped trying to make sense of anything
It seems like every coach "turns the corner" at some point. It's up to the AD to figure out if he turned on to a four lane highway leading to the interstate or a dark dead end alley.
Petrino did ok for Idaho. The sucker punch for Petrino was that the year they went to and won their bowl game against a P5 team (iirc), the school announced that they were moving back to the FCS, over the objections of Petrino and the players. Never could replicate the success of that one year and I wonder if Covid-19 last year gave him an extra year.
Dan Mullen fired at Florida. Gators just finished with worst record in SEC since 1979.
With the regular season drawing to a close, the carousel is really about to start spinning.
I’m glad we aren’t on it this year, at least not with our HC/DC/OC. (Though I know some of you wish we were on it with our OC
)

)He won’t be out of a job for long unless he wants to be. Candidate for Va Tech or would they not hire recently fired coach?
I wouldn't be surprised if Beamer's kid is an option at Va Tech.

RZ to FL. You heard it here first!
2 teams I wouldn't want to play right now...Georgia and OHst. OSU is firing on all cylinders right now. Huge change when the changed who was calling the defense.
And it was 49-0 at the half!
Talking to my Georgia golfing buddies on the course yesterday. Mentioned Mullen getting canned. They all agreed he is an asshat. Had no idea. They are all Dawg fans so that may have played a part in it.
extremely weird guy and family. google image search 'dan mullen wife kissing players'. or, better yet, don't
I looked up that video and it was very wholesome. I don't see the issue with that. I don't know anything about Dan mullen though

Two bits of coaching news today:
-TCU has hired SMU head coach Sonny Dykes to replace Gary Patterson. Front runner for the SMU job is reportedly Miami OC Rhett Lashlee, who was Dykes' OC at SMU in 2018 and 2019. If nothing else, the Dykes hiring should make things interesting in the Iron Skillet rivalry after how things have went the past couple of years in that game.
-Louisiana Tech has announced that they are firing Skip Holtz following their season finale tomorrow vs. Rice. The Bulldogs are 3-8 this season and it is only their 2nd losing season under Holtz, with the other coming in Holtz's first season in Ruston. They went to bowl games 7 straight seasons under Holtz with last season being the first bowl game they had lost in his tenure.

Jerry Kill was head coach at Minnesota 2011-2015 before resigning for health reasons. Hope he does well at New Mexico State. Challenging position.
