Tom Izzo announces he’s staying.
The coach rejected a five-year, $30 million offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Surrounded by his players at a packed press conference, Izzo was asked why he turned down a deal that would have doubled his salary.
“Michigan State is where I want to be.
I’m a Spartan for life, and I’m damn proud of it.”
@Sheehan_Sports I know there’s (hopefully) 3-4 years before this happens. But who is your pick to replace Izzo? I think it has to be somebody from the inside. I like Draymond for the job.
@theBurk3nator All these people coming out of the woodwork that somehow all of a sudden like opera and ballet. Obvious just people finally having a reason to publicly hate Timmy. So dumb!
