I guess it turns out you have to worry about your coaches getting poached at both ends of the success scale. Who knew?

Lol. He's obviously very well respected as a former player, person, mentor to these kids, etc... but the DEs have not exactly lived in the backfield under his tutelage. Also, his relationship with TStan led me to believe he'd be one of the least likely to be poached. What a time to be alive.

He is most likely gone, as we cannot compete with the kind of $$ Michigan State has decided to spend so that they can be a player in this new environment. But, I do wish in this case, TStan would consider letting him know he would be retained if something happens to the current HC. I know, I know. You can't "undermine" the new HC, but in this case, Marco is sought after, and if he stayed, any new HC would have to know that this was part of the deal.

I know it won't happen, but I can hope.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

If he goes, he goes. I'm pretty much over an individual coach or player leaving at this point. F the deserters. I'll pull for those that choose to be here when September rolls around.

The reason for Ivey ?

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

So we're executing the rare assistant coach trade?

We are getting the better end of the deal.

Stingtalk on inbound player or coach: Just watch all that juice flowing. The stars. Remember Bobby Ross?

Stingtalk on outbound player or coach: Eh. He sucked anyway. 3 x 3 x 3.

As much as it sucks, more $$$ and has much greater upside, I hope he stays though.... Starting to look like just being a former GT Jacket coaching at your alma mater doesnt equal success unfortunately. Either way wish Mr Coleman the best!

And probably our 2023 DL commit who decommited as well.

This was how it went before Choice left.

 

[TechRush]

Bye.

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

Supposedly will be confirmed later this week

 

[BrentwoodJacket]

Does he take any players with him?

Any players he took (besides Ivey) would ride the bench at MSU. Harsh but true.

I grew up a diehard Michigan State fan and we should not be poaching coaches from Georgia Tech, my God. I'm in my mid-20's and old enough to remember when Tech football was more prestigious than MSU. I get that the conference money has shifted reality around a bit, but MSU should not be taking alumnus coaches from GT. It's a sign of very deep rot

There you go. You had a typo.

I have no respect for Marco Coleman. If Ventura wouldn’t have tripped there’s no way he could have kept up with him
