When Iowa makes a change, I hope they hire an assistant coach that does not require breaking the bank. Most of these coaches that recieve these large contracts don't do so well on their new jobs, but Mel Tucker will do well especially in the transfer portal.
10 years, $95 Million for Mel Tucker. Contract FULLY GUARANTEED
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
The portal definitely brings a pro flavor to college ball, shouldn't be surprising that compensation might follow suit. tucker is the first guy who has proved he can select off-the-shelf players in massive numbers and deliver results immediately.
knowing how to pick and convince portal players offers the potential of being in the race for championship every year. that's pretty exciting. reduces the need to be a developmental guru. but as more and more teams join the race, whether it will be possible to rent entire teams remains to be seen.

David Shaw is getting paid nearly twice as much as Kirk to win: 9, 9, 4, 4, 3.
If only Stanford wasn't content with mediocre athletics.

Tucker has done it precisely once. We'll see if he can reload every year via the portal, or if he is a one hit wonder.
P.S. MSU is last in the country in passing yards allowed. 130th in the country. Right behind Kent State and Duke. Dead last. 329 yards a game. 25 yards a game worse than #129. I hope that $95M gets them some pass defense.
You know who also had one awesome season, with every season the rest of his career below .500? Scott Frost.

Ha you beat me to it. I was just about to make the Frost comparison with one great season as head coach and reaping the rewards. Guess only difference least Tucker did it at the school who is paying him all the $. Nebraska has gotten zilch out of him 4 years and $20 million later. Could you imagine the $ Nebraska would be shelling out to Frost if same scenario played out now instead of 4 years ago?
Feels like only yesterday that every journalist fishing for clicks would write about Kirk and his contract.
The landscape sure changed quick.
Gary Barta is really gonna have to suck up to fat cat donors in order to hire Brain Fartz as Iowa‘s next head coach.
David Shaw has 2 Rose Bowl WINS in the last decade; Kirk & Hayden have how many Rose Bowl WINS in the last 45 years?
Did Mel get that contract signed by early this morning?
The rout is on
21-0, Buckeyes, and we still have time left in the FIRST QUARTER

I'm not saying losing at Ohio State is bad, but if OSU puts up a 50-burger the CFP should consider ranking a hopefully 9-2 Iowa team ahead of Sparty.
I’m not sure that makes a lot of sense in the CFP, but it does in the AP poll.
Especially if you factor in the comment by #retirebarta about putting aside watching the game.
looks like ryan day got pissed at being paid like a chump. probably goes to his ad right after this game and threatens to use the portal to get job at iowa.
There have been numerous posts about how bad the B10 West is this year. Surprisingly, two of toughest games OSU has played in the B10 this year have been at Minnesota and at Nebraska.
yeah but we lost to purdue!!!I’m not sure that makes a lot of sense in the CFP, but it does in the AP poll.
Especially if you factor in the comment by #retirebarta about putting aside watching the game.
And the years not over. What do they thing after todays ASS whooping by the Buckeyes? Not ready for primetime Sparty......
THANK YOU! I'm so tired of that east vs west BS. Its OSU and everybody else. I'm sorry, but Wisconsin and yes Iowa can play with anybody in the east, EXCEPT OSU, lust like everybody in the east division.....
Good, free story.
