Dantonio barely broke .500 at UC and he was a perfect coach for MSU. Fickell has been better so far and I can see him realizing a lot of upside that Dantonio never had. Namely, recruiting.

Thamel says he's declined it.Comment

I think Fickell would be good at Sparty, but I also think "good" is now more along the lines of 8-4. Dantonio had the advantage of a basically cratered M program and a PSU program that was hit or miss under JoePa and then cratered. I expect both M and PSU to be strong programs for the foreseeable future, and I think Ohio State will remain around where they are.
That's a tough ask for Fickell. He'll do great in Ohio and he'll basically get all the players Kentucky is getting. Or a lot of them. But, that don't beat Ohio State or Penn State or M.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Sounds like he has officially declined it.
We dodged a bullet there, if you ask me. Although the MSU job could be open again in a few years if this coaching search goes the way it appears to be going.Comment

I guess they are going to have to hand the job to little Tressel.

Of course, maybe, just maybe Fickell's sights are laser set on one of those contenders- or ND.Originally posted by iam416 View PostComment

If he's turned it down, that genuinely surprises me. On the surface, it looked like the perfect opportunity to jump into the Big Ten, and get into a program that is not that far off from being competitive.
The interview must not have gone well.
I'd guess Pat Shurmur might be next in line. Former Spartan player, and just recently fired by the Giants. EL might be the perfect landing spot for him."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment

Ha ha Sparty was celebrating like urbs or Saban was coming back last night. This was the last tweet I read last night .....Fred was a long time sports reporter in Detroit and a good guy.
IMO With these coach saying no - I believe a lot has to do all the reports of Dantonios court not going well and Tom Mars joining Blackwell team.

I think you might be on to something there, Wings.
Fickell may have decided that the situation is not one that he wants to get involved with."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment
