man, what are you, Perle$$$/$$$aban's agent?
Here we go again with "once the coach accomplishes anything more than mid-level mediocrity, he must immediately get a massive new contract."
Dantonio is doing OK so far, but
MSU doesn't need to stampede out and rip up his contract the second he goes 8-5. What if they did that with JLS, dumped a Jabba-like contract in his lap when he went 8-5 his first season? We'd still be stuck with him.
They should discuss a nominal boost (he will move up the food chain when Tiller, and within a couple years, Paterno, go).
If he starts taking us to BCS bowls, then yes by all means, give him a nice new contract.
