Report: Potential LSU Coach Candidate Mel Tucker To Receive New Deal At Michigan State

by Staff Reporter

November 12, 202162 Comments

Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports

Football Scoop is reporting that Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker has been offered a contract extension and a "significant raise" to remain the head coach of the Spartans.

Tucker has been mentioned as a candidate for the LSU job several times since the school announced on October 17 that they were parting ways with Ed Orgeron after the season.

quote:
Sources with direct knowledge tell FootballScoop that Tucker has an offer effectively in hand from MSU leaders to both extend the length and raise the salary in Tucker's current pact. Tucker, per sources, is considered a prominent candidate at LSU, the 2019 CFP champion that is seeking a new coach after announcing plans to part ways with Ed Orgeron.

Terms of the proposed extension were not disclosed, but two sources told FootballScoop it was expected to provide “a significant raise.”

If Tucker is out of the mix at LSU, then who would you like to see hired as the Tigers next head coach?

Championship 2109- Super job, Coach O, Coaching staff, Brady, Burrow, ElEt al.! Best college football season ever! LINK / Championship 2020 LINK No Championship 2020, 2021- Locker room lost, by the head coach. Players opt out. LINK / If the makeup, general concerns and collective needs of any major college football team is ignored, it does not matter what coach is hired, they will not win over and maintain control their locker room, in today’s culture.

Do us, not in the know, a favor and let us know what would be disastrous about hiring Tucker? We do know the media will be wrong about this hire, until Woodward has a press conference, to introduce the new coach.

Good. He would have been a disaster.

I agree...

BREAKING NEWS With Tucker out of the picture, a new favorite has emerged: Coach Prime. Deion Sanders is BR bound

coachw•32 months

You better hope not. We don't need that clown either.

Just glad it won’t be tucker

Gene chizek or b napier? Qualified

RTRrtr•32 months

Gene Chizik hell yes! But he a hot candidate I’m not sure lsu can land

Luckydog•32 months

If u folks think mel tucker not qualified then nobody is! Not saying he is best candidate but his resume is top notch

atltiger6487•32 months

"his resume is top notch".... Tucker was 7-12 as a head coach before this year. One good year doesn't indicate a guy is a great coach (Exhibit A: Ed Orgeron, 2019).

PillageUrVillage•32 months

Good

Lol,what!?

BowDownToLSU•32 months

Great news … whew… Legacy hire

Ba Ba Boooey•32 months

Good for him and LSU

Micro12Tiger•32 months

I never considered Mel Tucker to be a serious candidate for the LSU job. As he isn't even remotely qualified. Anyway, with his contract extension and his new compensation package, I hope he stays to take advantage of them

RTRrtr•32 months

Just say what you mean. He’s black. Because his qualifications are solid. College and nfl

Damn :( I do not want jimbo on lsu campus calling lsu plays. Much rather Mel tucker or some other person have yet to hear of yet. Hope jimbo receives a huge extension with 200 million buy out at his school. Hope woody hangs up the idea of going after Jimbo. Need a good one

Micro12Tiger•32 months

The Jimbo smoke is only all smoke. Woodward isn't hiring Jimbo because he isn't up to LSU's standards. Meanwhile, Tucker never had a prayer of getting the job.

JackieTreehorn•32 months

Well Edward T. Orgeron got the job so never count out Mel.

CrystalPreserves•32 months

@microtiger Two of our last three head coaches were potatoes. Tucker would have been a quantum leap upgrade, as any of the names being thrown around will be quantum leap upgrades.

CDawson•32 months

This is an easy way to say I want to stay at MSU knowing he was not going to get the LSU job.

CanebreakCajun•32 months

Good for him. He’s a good coach.

atltiger6487•32 months

perhaps, but he’s had one good season. He was 7-12 before this year.

CanebreakCajun•32 months

I know alt. Didn’t say I want him. If he had another year similar to this one, he’d be a stronger candidate.

CaLSUTigerFan•32 months

I'm guessing every coach out there is hoping their name is tossed about for the job so they can get a nice raise/contract extension from their current school.
