No question, the players make the difference.
Problem with Mel is that when it comes to playing his recruits overall look better on paper than they do on the field. Attrition rate is high and a lot don't live up to their hype.

I’m just wondering what you think the catalyst is to getting a team to outperform it’s talent level
Hence the desperation of a college football program that aspires to compete for national championships and thought they’d found an elite coach and didn’t want to lose him.
I’m thankful now that Michigan State stole Mel away from CU. I did like the energy he brought to our program for the short time he was here. But I’m so glad that the $95 million dollar contract is the Spartans’ problem and not ours. If we had thrown a ton of money at Mel to keep him, we’d be in the place they find themselves now. So enjoy Spartans! and… go State or go Big Green…. Or whatever the heck they say for their team.
You’ll never have to worry about a $95m contract at CU
You’re right. But I can see Mel having really stretched our CU budget to a point where we’d be stuck with him here and have the MSU headache they have now. Clearly not $95 million but what if had got a deal for $20? Or even $30?
Just glad he’s a Spartan and not a Buff.
MT has the promotion and the motivation aspects pretty elite. I also think he's a high level defensive mind, even though the performance of his secondary at MSU has been surprisingly bad.
I think he's missing out on having top assistants, other than getting Kap into his program and keeping him. Hard for an OL coach to not be loyal when he's getting paid $1M a year.

I agree he’s a great motivator and is very persuasive. I don’t really know about his expertise and ability to plan and teach, but he seems above average. However, he seems fundamentally dishonest and can’t deliver on the promises he sells. As players and people in the program figure that out it becomes a rot from within the core of the program.

Sparty cooking up something to get out from under that $95 million?
First off it would be a strange twist for the school that gave us Dr. Larry Nasty to go after a coach for sexual harassment.Sources: Harassment case targets MSU's Tucker

At the same time they haven't been entirely pleased with how the team has been doing and if this turns out to be provable it gives them a quick out on the remaining 8 years of his contract at $9.5 million per.
Heard rumblings of shady stuff with him while he was here. He was a ticking time bomb. His untimely departure ultimately led us to where we are right now. Is today the greatest day in the history of karma?

I also read the USA Today story. I don’t want to make light of it because it’s a horrible situation. I’m just not surprised that he turned out to be a bad guy after all.

Mel's gonna be on 60 Minutes holding hands with his wife begging for forgiveness and a second chance in a few weeks
Oh man. That’s brutal, wtf you POS
Everything that has transpired over the last 4 years = truly a miracle
Of all the people to sexually harass, he picks the sexual harassment expert. That guy is so despicable.Sources: Harassment case targets MSU's Tucker

He
Mel shouted out, "catch me, punish me!"
With a normal victim, it may have been stupid (and the other bad stuff)
To do it with this lady was close to intentional career and family suicide.
Not only an expert, but someone who is in her position because she was a rape survivor herself from college football players. Wow. ****ing wow.
Looks like MSU gonna go through some things.
After all of the bad FB years we've been through, If he had stayed here and been charged with sexual harassment, I can't imagine what the program would be like today. As Pac Man said "we may have dodged a bullet"
