Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, Dan Hurley, Todd Golden, Curt Cignetti, and Dabo Swinney all had their contract extensions finalized days after winning national championships.
Jim Harbaugh and Dusty May didn't. The man in charge of getting those two extended: Warde Manuel.

NEW: Urban Meyer on his reaction to Michigan hiring Kyle Whittingham:
“I’m a Buckeye, so my first thought was, ‘What?’
He’s my friend. Kyle and I are really close, but it didn’t take long for me to put two and two together. Not only did I tell him that I think it was a great move, but it was exactly what that school in Ann Arbor needed.
They fell into the perfect guy.”

Good thing there aren’t any fans of both Michigan State and the Detroit Lions to get upset about this since none of them could’ve graduated from the Detroit Lions
Sad state of affairs: Kharchenkov played professionally for FC Bayern Munich. Krivas played pro basketball in Lithuania for FOUR YEARS prior to enrolling at Arizona 3 years ago. And Dell’Orso, Tobe Awaka and Jaden Bradley are all transfers, and they STILL couldn’t make a Final Four game competitive.
MSU CBB fans to start every season:
“Tom Izzo is too elite and this roster is too stacked.”
MSU fans every March after another early tournament exit:
“I can’t believe Izzo was able to drag this 💩 roster to another tournament appearance. He’s the 🐐!!”
Every. Single. Time.
Tom Izzo is a really good coach… But I find it amusing that people have this meme of March being Tom’s month… The guy has 1 national title it came 25 years ago.
Tom Izzo on Michigan State’s loss: “To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. Give credit to Michigan, they played well — I guess.”
“I was disappointed in the officiating but more disappinted in my team,” he said. “They made the plays.”
