Should be a wake-up call to elected officials that if they don't start standing up now they won't have an opportunity to later but sadly I think they will be getting a different message

I get it, Batt has royally screwed over the gymnastics program even with the renovations to Jenison. That said for my rooting interests, the positives have outweighed the negatives, albeit not by much. I'm still leery of him and how booster/corporate donor forward he is and how it could harm MSU tho

Well at least he has a sterling record that overshadows all of negligence off the field! Wait how many years did he finish 1-8 in the Big 10 West again?

Bryce Underwood: "Man I really wish I got a chance to play under Brian Kelly."

Yea Northwestern's NIL approach clearly didn't set him up to beat *checks notes* Southern Illinois and Miami (and no, not that Miami)

Bonus - Attendance for Ford Field 2 was a pitiful 30,317, almost 20k less than attended the snowstorm Rutgers game last year like I did (for the full game). And it wasn't just this team, 60k people showed up to watch winless MSU play winless Penn State at Spartan Stadium! MSU can never do that again

Graham called it. Absolutely despise hiring someone who went 1-8 in the fucking B1G West 3 of his last 4 years & has gone a combined 4-20 since NIL started but at least the chode donors are happy now. Look forward to them paying his buy-out in 2 to 4 years while we cap out at mayb making a bowl game

Pat won! Mainly against Purdue, Illinois & Minnesota and other Big 10 West teams but still!

Let's not get carried away now, Brian Kelly is still available

And it is clear as day that the donors got their way in hiring Fitzgerald unlike Smith

The perfect meme

I don't think anyone of importance comes back, A-Mili especially. He'll probably get a bag from Illinois or something

Like we literally have recruits on visits as well speak. Say something Batt!

A Fitz hire would set MSU back for the rest of the decade, but certain prominent voices are putting his name out there because (as far as I can tell) he shows more emotion than Smith. We're a pathetic fanbase

He's a big name, which if the last coaching search was anything to go off of it seems like that is their main criteria

Yea but if it's what the donors want (which I don't know, I'm just speculating) then that's all that matters to the administration

Between how quiet things have been and still are from Batt combined with this Thind tweet, I would be shocked if Smith isn't canned by the end of the day

For the Fitzgerald stuff, just too much smoke from various people but that part I'm not as sure about
