anyone think this contract is a tad high??

A source close to the negotiations confirmed to The Detroit News on Wednesday that Tucker will get a 10-year, $95 million contract that will make him the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten and the second-highest paid coach in the country behind Alabama's Nick Saban, a former MSU coach who makes $9.753 million. The new deal would also increase the salary pool for assistant coaches, which was at $6 million when Tucker was hired. The source requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the deal. 

The deal is expected to be announced as early as Thursday, according to the source.

This is why I never got upset at what Shaw is making. CFB at the Power 5 level is truly a mug’s game, thru and thru.

Right before MSU is set to get pollaxed by Ohio State.
I like Tucker - but that is a ridiculous contract (forget annual salary, the length alone is silly).

I’m guessing his name was being mentioned as a possible LSU or other big program coach, and he leveraged it into a great contract.  Yes, it is ridiculous, but good for him.  Given that with two bad years, fans will be calling for his head, he might as well make what he can when the going is good.
