And it pisses me off that JS apologists refuse to see that reasonable Beaver fans understand that he made a sound business decision. What we will never forgive is the way he did it. And saying "it was a really hard decision" is absolutely meaningless. He said nothing in this interview to change minds.

Sound? How so? It was a chicken-sh*t thing to do. Barnes extended a very good contract. He really won't make any more at MSU. And OSU was much more secure for Smith long term. He could have had a lifetime contract. MSU will cut him loose after one losing season. I think it was a terrible business and family decision by a coach who had started believing his own headlines

Probably not one losing season...they have no shot at a winning season this year or next. There are 10 teams in their conference who are better than MSU and another 5 that are pick'ems. It's going to be an uphill fight to respectability.
