Mel Tucker was a questionable hire after his stellar 5-7 career record at Colorado, but his $95 million contract in Nov 2021 was entirely a knee-jerk reaction to the BLM movement in the wake of the George Floyd disaster. I wouldn't be shocked if MSU paid this woman under the table to generate a harassment scenario so they would have cause to fire their mistake. You know his replacement isn't getting $9.5 million/year.
Mel Tucker FIRED FOR CAUSE as investigation into Sexual Harassment Continues. Mark Dantonio has Returned, Serving as Associate Head Coach

- Start date
And can't wait now until its MSU v Mich
I'm lowkey hoping this makes Michigan State play worse. They've looked decent the first few weeks. Guess we'll see by the end of the month.
lolol..... This just has MSU all over it doesn't it? I mean, its not like old Mark had a sparkling record on these kinds of issues, while in East Lansing either, but here they go dragging him out of the cupboard. Hilarious really. Of all the games we have left, this is the one I'd like to see an ass whooping handed out to the Spartans.....
An interesting SI article talks about MSU history forcing them to take action before results are even complete.
Ironically, this also leads them to Dantonio, whose past behavior ignoring the problems is past of MSU seedy past.

Yeah, you can’t make this stuff up! WTF?’! Is their AD just clueless or is just a good Ol boys club where they grease each other’s palms as needed?
Northwestern probably happy the heat is off them….
Sexual misconduct is part of MSU's very ugly culture.

VOTE: How will Tom Izzo be punished for the Travis Walton Rape Cover Up?
Tom Izzo is exactly like Urban Meyer. Both protected an assistant coach who was accused of abusing a woman. Izzon protected Travis Walton (then a student assistant coach): (1) Walton, along with two players, was accused of raping a female student in April 2010; (2) A few months earlier it was...

I just read Tucker's personal statement...
its interesting..
in regards to him masturbating... he says he and his wife had been estranged for a long time.
then... couple paragraphs later he says he complained to her that she and her assistant had spread rumors about his marriage.
this is inconsistent AF... imo.. why get all tissy if you ain't with the wife no more?
from everything I've seen... this is inappropriate behavior...
he's a married man who jerked off on the phone with a woman that is a speaker for sexually abused women....
or in Tucker's words "her mission of sexual misconduct prevention" which he says he supports....
how? by jacking off on the phone when talking to her??
how would you feel if Kirk Ferentz had done this instead?

Mel Tucker responds to allegations by Brenda Tracy via his attorney, Jennifer Z. Belveal.
What were some of the problems that Dantonio & his team got into while on his watch.
There were quite a few separate incidents if I remember right.

Sounds like he is bragging about the 36 minutesMel Tucker responds to allegations by Brenda Tracy via his attorney, Jennifer Z. Belveal.
.... LMAO!
So is that dirtbag one of their 'iconic' coaches!?!? What an f'up culture they have over there....
But unlike a gang rape, she could have run away from this by just hanging up the 📞.
Considering this Suaré happened in April of '22, I think the following may be the right answer:
This statement from Tucker:
Suspended MSU Coach Mel Tucker calls accusations of sexual harassment 'completely false'

Quote: "While I am saddened by Ms. Tracy's disclosure of the sensitive nature of this call, let me be perfectly clear – it was an entirely mutual, private event between two adults living at opposite ends of the country. She initiated the discussion that night, sent me a provacative picture of the two of us together, suggested what she may look like without clothes, and never once during the 36 minutes did she object in any manner, much less hang up the phone." .....
"Ms. Tracy’s attorney told us from the very beginning that I should not lose my job over her
allegations, but that it would take a lot of money to make it go away. Her twisting of our personal
relationship months after it concluded is designed to revive her career"
Ms Tracy wanted some $$$ and the university outbid Coach Tucker.
Hello, racist asshole.
It was definitely a knee jerk reaction, and he is a shitty coach.
I feel confident in saying the knee jerk reaction was in response to the 11-2 record he had in 2021, and not to BLM, George Floyd, CRT, or being woke.
Go away, person that is hopefully embarrassing to his entire family.
Couple of years from now, he'll end up somewhere...maybe back in the NFL as a DC or DB coach.
i hope he still has those pictures / texts during that phone conversation; would help his case
Mel Tucker's November 2021 contract renewal for $9.5 million/year didn't make him the NCAA's highest paid coach, but it did put him (at the time) in 5th place. Those ahead of him: 1) Nick Saban, Alabama, 2) Dabo Swinney, Clemson, 3) Kirby Smart, Georgia, and 4) Brian Kelly, LSU. Think about their resumes, and then compare it to Tucker's: a single 5-7 season at Colorado, 2-5 COVID year at MSU in 2020, and the 9-1 start in 2021 at the time of the extension offer (he proceded to lose that day to Ohio State 56-7).
If you were an athletic director wanting to retain a coach with that resume, would your 1st offer be $9.5 million?
It wouldn't for me. Now I know you already think I'm an asshole, but take a few minutes to Google 'Reactions to Mel Tucker contract extension 2021', and then actually read them. There were a whole lot of other folks out there questioning that move too. What would your justification be for spending that kind of money on an unproven coach? Please explain.
Finally, thanks for showing your true colors with the 'racist' label. Seems to be the thing to call people when anything remotely negative is said about a non-caucasian person. If the topic ventured into LGBTQ or female territory you'd throw out one of your adjectives accusing me of some other 'phobia'. I refuse your efforts at cancellation.
By the way, I have two children. Neither is adopted, but both are biracial.
Can you figure out that one?
They are not embarrassed.
That should be proveable I would assume that they wanted money to make it go away? Somebody had to record somebody.
I guess I should make more effort to keep up with the times, but since moving to the Philippines in June, I have no idea what is going on outside of the Iowa Hawkeyes. I do get all the games however, but interesting reading about Mel tucker and his troubles. BTW, I watched the Iowa vs Iowa State game live, and kickoff time in the Philippines was 3:30 am.
Are you the Scotthawk that made the awesome football videos years ago, or was that Scothawk?
So she set this call up to extort him and get has the receipts. Had her attorney apparently try and extort him.
I don't think this is going to go well for msu. How much money do they have laying around after all these lawsuits? At what point do they just close the school?

I hope with Dantonio at the helm that the game at Kinnick is injury free.Hmmm.
Close the school? Jesus Christ. It's a land grand state school with several billion in endowments. I think they will survive.
You can question if he was worth the huge extension, which so far he's proven not to be. But to assume that it's due to BLM or whatever is dumb as f*ck. LSU was rumored to be interested in Tucker before they hired Kelly. MSU wanted to keep their coach after a great year and overpaid to do so.
MSU, regardless of their results, has always been a shitstain on the B1G.

This could have also been a question regarding Mel Tucker.
