Here are buyouts for two other schools in the conference as a reference point:
WSU:$8M if in Yr 1, $6M in Yr 2, $5M in Yr 3, $2M in Yr 4, $1M after
Zona:$10 million if he leaves in year 1 or two, $5 million in year 3, $3 million in year 4, $1 million in year 5
UCLA: flat $9 million for the life of the contract
WSU:$8M if in Yr 1, $6M in Yr 2, $5M in Yr 3, $2M in Yr 4, $1M after
Zona:$10 million if he leaves in year 1 or two, $5 million in year 3, $3 million in year 4, $1 million in year 5
UCLA: flat $9 million for the life of the contract
Uh, Ellen left in the middle of recruiting. That was much worse.
LOL. Okay. You're ignoring that he was told to leave by the AD, and I would rather a coach leave then, than after the entire coaching pool had been sifted through leaving us with table scraps.
When Rick left we had Kubiak in the bag, and had to settle for the previous NCOY in Barnett

"Rick wanted to stay"? Haven't heard that one.
Tucker's was $5 million in year one, $3 Million in year 2 and $2 Million in year 3.
Yes, not saying that didn’t happen but I was much closer to the program then and never heard anything like that.

I'll do it for free. Spend the money on the best assistants and recruiters
Ok, I love this kid. Character means something, dammit.
You probably wouldn't have. Tharp didn't Like Neuheisal at the time because of his inconsistent performance relative to Mac, and several Boosters didn't like Rick. When presented with an opportunity to let Rick go or keep him, Tharp told Rick to not let the door to hit him on the way out. It's a big reason why He said the things he did at his intro presser at UW

Question, are these amounts the same if he was fired? If so, the lower amounts for Tucker makes a bit more sense as the school probably couldn't afford higher buyouts given HCMM.
No. If the school fires a coach, they typically owe the remainder of his salary offset by the salary at his next job.

I’m unsure if the “I’m a man of my word” quote is simply quoting Tucker as a fraud.

Could be wrong here, but I'd think Tucker better damn well win at Michigan State. His word definitely took a hit.

Lol yeah. I had 3 and added Rice after the fact. It’s funny I actually came back because I thought I did that and saw your quote.

This guy just spouts off the same rhetoric at every place he goes. Just a greasy slime ball.

He called MSU a once in a lifetime opportunity. Just recycling introduction speeches again I see. Now say that MSU is a destination job, not a stepping stone job.
