Yes it is Bill, as has been pointed out in other topics, had he retired after the season he'd have missed out on a 4.3M bonus for being the HC on Jan 15th. Also, although he vehemently denies it, he is facing a lawsuit where he is being accused of amongst other things NCAA violations in recruiting. Certainly the timing doesn't do MSU any favors. If they end up getting either Pat Narduzzi or Luke Fickell it will have worked out just fine. Wait and see.
