EAST LANSING — Mel Tucker dodged questions Monday about a proposed contract offer, then signed it late Wednesday to agree to stay as Michigan State football’s head coach for the next decade.
After the 13th-ranked Spartans’ 30-27 victory over Penn State on Saturday at Spartan Stadium, Tucker again only briefly touched on his new 10-year, $95 million contract. The 49-year-old said he has not yet been able to reflect on the deal while preparing for the Nittany Lions.
But Tucker made it clear that MSU is devoting the resources he wants to produce an elite program.
