Luke Fickell turned down Michigan State..

at one point it seemed like it was a done deal. He'd get big bump in salary, get a Power 5 job where you can win, and MSU has upgraded facilities, he knows the Big 10 very well. Seemed like a natural.

Freep is saying that Bret Bielema has interest. He certainly was successful at Wisconsin, flopped at Arkansas though. He was recently hired by Joe Judge for his NY Giants staff.
