YoloinOhio Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I believe I had this about 3 months ago National signing day is tomorrow. Collected a 4mill bonus on Jan 15th Edited February 4, 2020 by YoloinOhio Quote
H2o Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Figured it had something to do with the NCAA investigation against MSU. Quote
par73 Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 I had wondered how he was surviving in a program rife with scandal. About time. Quote

There are whispers that he was forced to step down or would have been fired. Related to The ongoing litigation. Of course, he denied it. The crazy thing is that he is facing serious recruiting violation allegations. If so, he needed to retire because if those classes he’s been bringing in lately are a result of cheating... hearing rumors that Pat Narduzzi From Pitt will be the next MSU coach, he was their DC a few years ago Edited February 5, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Quote
row_33 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 good era for Sparty, they simply aren't strong enough to compete regularly in the Winners and Champions side of the Big Ten Quote
YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Unconfirmed report that Sparty is in contract talks with Luke Fickell from UC. He would be a really good hire for them but I will be surprised if he leaves UC right now. That said, his DC Marcus Freeman was offered the LB coach for the titans by Vrabel and turned it down to stay at UC; it is believed that he is in line to replace Fickell if/when he leaves for a bigger job. So the timing lines up, but I think Fickell will be very selective about his next gig and though Sparty fits the profile of the geography and level of job he would go to, i don’t think he would want to walk into that tire fire and lack of talent.

Both were DC at Ohio state, then HC at UC, then HC at MSU (if Fickell takes it) Edited February 5, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Quote
YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Hmmm that means no Campbell and probably no Fickell Edited February 5, 2020 by YoloinOhio Quote

Willyville Guy Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Lots of noise tonight about Coach Fick to MSU. Quote
YoloinOhio Posted February 10, 2020 Author Posted February 10, 2020 That’s a ton of money. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t take it, though that job is a heavy lift right now. Quote
Bill from NYC Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Does Saban pick him up as an assistant? Quote
