Izzo "Doesn't plan on going anywhere"
Izzo also told Michigan State fans who are dissapointed and angry to "find another team." He said he is more proud of this team than any other he has ever coached. Funny stuff.
but that doesn't mean he won't be forced out

HAHAHAHA!!! You're funny!
Based on actions so far, the only way Izzo gets forced out is if the FBI takes him away in handcuffs, leaving the NCAA no option other than to ban his cheating ass. MSU won't do it if they continue to have an actual choice.

Did you say Joe Pa was not going anywhere either. I think he had just a slight bit more staying power than Dan fuckin tonio. Izzo, Dantonio and Joe Pa are all one in the same. They all knew of rape and chose to not only turn a blind eye but cover it up. You tell me what is the difference. None of them did the raping themselves, but all of them sure could of prevented more of it. NO DIFFERENCE.
What i said repeatidly on the subject of MSU was the following:
1. The national media will get bored with this story and move on. They have.
2. The local media has NO interest in doing anything that hurts their two coaching sacred cows in Dantonio & Izzo. They arent.
3. That neither Izzo nor Dantonio would leave MSU now or anytime in the near future. They havent and they wont.
This was during the breathless thread posting epidemic on MSU following the ESPN article on the program. I can even begin to tell you how many debates I got into with LOTS of people here on the subject who assured me I was wrong, wrong, wrong and something bad was going to happen to MSU because of it.
And I posted I would remind everyone of this when nothing happened. I am.
I also posted that people wouldnt like it at ALL when i reminded folks of my correct prediction and that too has come to pass (see Monicle's comment and voting - btw the one down vote's not mine). It's the way this place works. Inform everybody that something unpleasant is going to happen and you get immediate negative feedback. Be right in the prediction and remind people you were right and get even more negative feedback.
Generally speaking people here only want to hear happy things.
not that i think its impossible that izzo or dantonio would get ousted over this, but that even at the beginning of the big hullabaloo there was (and remains, in my mind) no clear path to the departure of either. might speed a retirement. izzo did look totally frazzled of late. i get all of that. its just that i doubt there is an ipso-facto, they are gone, result.

mGrowOld you are correct. The only way Izzo is out is if the FBI tells MSU it's either him or the millions of dollars of federal funding. This is going to get interesting. Funny this topic is up. Friday on ESPN Seth Greenburg told Stephen A. that in Arizona's case, it's not gonna be losing that gets Sean Miller tossed on his ass, it's gonna be the 3 letter boyz investigation.

... he got himself stuck in a tough spot.

That seems to be the attitude he took into the tournament as well.
Works for me. Beilein's has a better record against him since 2010 and we got a top 100 recruit from EL to spurn him for us.
university, plus the losing to in-state rivals, not developing your stars (Jackson)...the list goes on with reasons I'd be surprised if their recruiting isn't impacted in a fairly big way.
Good points, though I don't know if MSU's bidding process has been impacted.
Not developing them is somewhat subjective and Jackson will still go very high in the draft, but sitting Jackson most of the game is something people notice. At the very least, I'd expect it to come up in negative recruiting.
Who cares?. Look at Michigan's recruiting in both basketball and football. If they keep both clown's on so be it. They will just be incurring more losses. Dantonio is the next one to be saying "find another team".
I actually think both guys will be let go and much of it will be for there teams performance. Why would any parent want there kids to go to msu or psu. I have no respect for any football player at either school. They all no damn well what has transpired at both university's.

Funny how Izzo used to complain about how he couldn't get in on the nation's top recruits and now that he has a few, he can't get past the second round.
A lot of coaches have co-opted his "our primary goal is to get more possessions, so our big guys do nothing but crash the boards and foul," but he might as well go back to his role-playing grinders. Guys who think they're superstars won't go for playing such a limited role.
Jaren Jackson will probably be a top-10 pick and Izzo had no idea what to do with him. He was just as invisible in the Big Ten tourney, and it's probably not possible for Langford to play any worse. He might as well transfer to EMU.
Good, if he stays that will ensure we'll always have the coaching advantage
Izzo is doing his best Dave Brandon impression. After how he coached today, I could care less if he stays there or not.
How much less could you care?
March 18th, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
He wasn't specifying an amount. He was just letting you know that it was possible for him to care less.
I wonder if he also told them to stop drinking and go to bed.
He "also told Michigan State fans who are dissapointed [sic] and angry to 'find another team.'"
At the end of the day, he's a terrible, terrible person. He shouldn't be coaching anyone. NO EXCUSES!
GO BLUE!
Didnt he tell them to " Get a new team" earlier in the year too ?
I really despise this little fuckhead. What an inflated sense of self-worth. Just can't get over himself
No, Tom. You're a little man. And you're done.
"... which had success only due to the void left by our self sanctions ..."
No need to get ridiculous. All seven final fours can't be attributed to Michigan's troubles.
to the point at which Izzo went from Jim Tressel to John Cooper?

The gift that keeps on giving
Keep that overrated dinosaur around for another 10 years, please.
God his act is so old and other than recruiting he's definitely fading fast.
If he doesn't learn X's and O's from Beilein, he could learn to shut his mouth and win and lose with class and dignity.
Also he has looked terrible. The guy is 63 and has aged 20 years these past three years.
He looks so fucking stressed out in every shot. It's like he knows everything that has happened and also knows everything that is about to happen. He just looks ready to burst.
in
the guy in front we call 'the key,' an obvious euphemism for the guy who is going to open the door. works better to have a big guy be the key, but not always required.
“Hopefully, there will even be some people in this room that eat their words”
Does he hear himself? What a self loving asshat. He’s making all of this about him and the reputation of his program. Do us all a favor Tom, do some self reflecting and realize that you HAVE been a part of the problem and digging your heels in and playing the victim will NOT help the university heal
This sawed off egomaniac believes he's infallible
