Dantonio, Izzo, Comley, and MSU's AD all got extensions through 2016 (2013 for Comley). Dantonio also get a $2 million bonus if he sticks around for the entire contract. Kind of sounds like the whole Dantonio leaving in two years thing seem even less likely.
Also, the obligatory Fire Up Chips!
Doesn't mean he won't leave
That's very true but I
That's very true but I personally think the only school that he would leave Michigan State for is OSU. At the same time I don't think Dantonio would be a big enough splash for Ohio State once Tressel retires. I get the feeling that he hates us too much to leave.
What?
What? He hates Michigan to much to go to Ohio State? Does not compute.

Sorry, I meant he hates us
Sorry, I meant he hates us too much to go anywhere besides Ohio State.
He's had his biggest
He's had his biggest promotions through OSU. Tressel hired him as a grad assistant and promoting him to a secondary coach. Tressel also re-hired him from MSU as a defensive coordinator in 2000. That stint at coordinator got him the head coach job at Cincy.
I love it
Any insinuation that state isn't a major program is fine by me.

Comley
Why in the world would you give Comley a longer contract? Last year msu hockey was god awful with their only good player a senior and has now moved on. Either msu will rebound this year (then you can give him a longer contract next off season) or msu will continue to crater which will just make the next coaches job that much harder.

Yeah, an MSU friend of mine
Yeah, an MSU friend of mine is furious at this news, which makes me love it.

None of this really matters.
None of this really matters. If MSU wants to fire one of these guys down the road, or if one wants to leave, the contract will be bought out. This just makes it a little more expensive on MSU's part.
it's a reward for the stellar
leadership of AD and FB coach in reinstating a criminal assailant. Plus Izzo wins a lot.
Obviously
Comley used the old trick of sneaking in behind two VIPs to get in the club.
Doesn't mean he won't leave if a major program comes calling.
Not saying they will, but it's kinda hard to say no if one of the big boys comes calling.
