Tucker reiterates long-term commitment to MSU on Draymond Green Show

Mel Tucker’s historic new contract to remain Michigan State’s football coach has yet to be announced officially, but the second-year coach made it clear where he stood on Thursday.

During an appearance on "The Draymond Green Show," a podcast hosted by the NBA champion and former Spartan basketball player, Tucker said his vision at Michigan State has always been a long-term one, even as his name surfaced as a potential candidate to take over at LSU.

“I came here and I made it clear in my initial press conference that I thought that Michigan State was a destination job and not a stepping stone,” Tucker said when Green asked about staying at Michigan State.
