But I guess leaving a Big Ten school for Colorado is just fine and dandy.

Interesting that they use Fitz's salary as a point of comparison........

I guess he justifies his move and slams Tucker for leaving when both left for programs that had a much better recent history than the place they left. Pot meet kettle.

I see the irony here, but Taylor totally screwed this up regarding Barnett at NU. He paid that idiot O'Neill a million bucks.

MSU generated $78,000,000 in revenues. What did NU generate?

also
I think Tucker is going to do well at MSU.

Tucker will be fired at MSU within three years in my opinion. A mediocre coach at best.

My favorite line, even though it's yet another backhanded compliment:
From both near and afar, he has watched the program erode into a lesser job than Michigan State or even Northwestern, which has had three 10-win seasons since 2012.

Comes off as an old man yelling to get off his lawn. MSU doubled his salary and dramatically increased the salary pool for his assistants. Plus all the other amenities (not flying coach on recruiting trips). All of us would make the same move
