My guess is it is a retention bonus where if he is not fired or leaves before January XX, he gets paid the $400k bonus.$400,000 bonus is paid regardless? If so, it is really just base salary by another name.

Might be written in as a bonus so if he gets fired, they're not on the hook for it like they would be with his salary.$400,000 bonus is paid regardless? If so, it is really just base salary by another name.
That makes a lot more sense than just "bonus" without any criteria.My guess is it is a retention bonus where if he is not fired or leaves before January XX, he gets paid the $400k bonus.
Still not worried. The majority of our classes don’t come from Michigan anyway. We get 3-5 kids from the state. In 2020 we had 4, 2019 we had 2. MSU might pull in a few more kids if they can improve in that arena, but I still think their fundamental issue is being MSU and not Michigan in the state; or MSU and not OSU in Ohio. Every surrounding state has a major power that isn’t them. I don’t think any coach, or position coach, is changing that; especially if they do shitty. Dantonio removed the new coaches ability to sing a first class, so they have to wait through an entire season, probably a bad one, to even get their first kids into the program.Hey Maize,
Look at my two posts right above this (post #73 and #74). If MSU is successful in poaching Vince Marrow from Kentucky, you might need to change your answer, Maize.
I wouldn't be worried either, Mel Tucker usually doesn't stay in one place very long.
Beneath the surface this was a B1G over PAC 12 more than Sparty over Colorado. More accurately this was a B1G/ACC/SEC/Big 12 over PAC 12.
"The Pac-12 is on the brink. Want to talk competitive imbalance? Michigan State basically bought out Tucker's promise to remain at Colorado. And it did so because it could. A Big Ten school flexed. A Pac-12 counterpart winced. It's as simple as that."
"Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News has already calculated that each Big Ten school will make $139 million more than its Pac-12 counterpart over the next five years."
"But it's not just Big Ten money. Tucker made $2.4 million at Colorado. Alabama's mere recruiting budget, according to a recent report, is $2.6 million."
Fallout from Mel Tucker's move extends past Michigan State, Colorado to recruiting, the Pac-12 and beyond
Most of those coaches were at USC, and USC is a destination job. Kelly left Oregon for the NFL, but Oregon is an exception to the typical P12 budget. Petersen certainly could’ve had offers, but everyone knew he had no interest in anything East of Montana, and it had nothing to do with budgets.I don’t get the point of the article though. They said the same thing when FSU overpaid for Willie Taggart. What has Tucker done that you can fault Colorado for not matching (if he even gave them a chance to)? Where have the successful Pac 12 coaches been bought out by, except us with Leach going to be 5th place in the SEC West? They have all left for the NFL. It’s
Tucker is s DC, so he is likely to have his own defensive coaches in mind. We’re he an OC, I suspect he’d have left the defensive staff largely intact.Michigan State's offense was anemic for the previous few years but their defense was solid.....
so.....
While I certainly understand and agree with getting rid of all the existing Michigan State offensive coaches, one would think that Mel Tucker should retain a couple MSU defensive assistants, but apparently he is purging the entire Spartan coaching staff.
Spring football is coming soon, and at this point the pickings for assistants are probably pretty slim.

Hmmm?
I would have liked to see Tressel stay but I understand the desire to bring in his own guys. Plus the defense took a step back last year and looked like trash giving up an additional 5 points per game.Michigan State's offense was anemic for the previous few years but their defense was solid.....

Kelly left because he was about to be sanctioned and was hit with an 18mo show cause.Most of those coaches were at USC, and USC is a destination job. Kelly left Oregon for the NFL, but Oregon is an exception to the typical P12 budget. Petersen certainly could’ve had offers, but everyone knew he had no interest in anything East of Montana, and it had nothing to do with budgets.
That said, Riley and Price both bolted when offered by Nebraska and Bama, respectively. This was in spite of Riley being a Corvallis native (though he did play at Bama) known for his affinity for OSU, and Price having spent a long tenure in Pullman.
The point I got was that because of the discrepency in revenue from media contracts, etc, the B1G teams have so much of an advatange in money, they can afford to sling it around at an "iffy" hire like Tucker. And they can do it without risking future financial problems when it doesn't work out. Also, exactly what you said. Can't fault Colorado for not matching it since they feel they don't have such deep of pockets to pay for a guy that really hasn't proven to be worth that much to them....at least not yet IMHO.I don’t get the point of the article though.

Hey Maize,

Why are people going so gaga over this guy? An ace recruiter who grabs a bunch of 3* and a few 4* from Ohio here and there?Still waiting on the decision by Kentucky Wildcats super-recruiter Vince Marrow. Apparently Kentucky made a counteroffer approaching the numbers Michigan State is offering Marrow.
Kentucky makes big counteroffer to keep Vince Marrow: Will he stay or go?
You do realize how difficult it is to get decent players to go to Kentucky, right? We are talking about football, not basketball.Why are people going so gaga over this guy? An ace recruiter who grabs a bunch of 3* and a few 4* from Ohio here and there?
