Michigan State fans clown Mel Tucker's contract following multiple portal entries
A total of 3 Michigan State starters entered the transfer portal on Sunday, not exactly an ideal situation to be in following Spring practice.
Payton Thorne, Charles Brantley and Keon Coleman made up the latest transfer for the Spartans, a list that has been steadily growing since the end of the season. And it makes sense when you remember the Spartans finished 2022 5-7 despite some preseason hype.
Fans let their displeasure with the situation be heard on Sunday, too. Some of the Spartans faithful called for head coach Mel Tucker’s job on social media following a rough day for football in East Lansing. Other simply took to Twitter to flame the head coach, who makes an unbelievable $9.5 million annually until 2032.
See what some of them had to say below:
FIRE MEL TUCKER

I’ve said it before, but Mel Tucker owes Kenneth Walker III at least half of his $95M contract.
