Michigan State just made life a lot better for Izzo who just got a $500,000 raise in his contract. This deal comes only a few months after the Ceveland Cavilers tried to get him as their coach. If Izzo left Michigan State then it would be like Lebron James. He grew up in Iron Mountain in Michigan's Upper Penisula and has been promoted to head coach from assistant. He has won a national championship and 6 BIg Ten titles.
I think that Michigan did i great job but they should have only given him about $200,000 not $500,000. He is a great coach but in two years he would have a bad team because all his success will go to his head and his team will stink. That is what I think about and Michigan State should have waited to give him that much money to see if he is the real deal.

I believe that Michigan was smart to give Izzo $500,000 because it would ensure his stay. Besides that fact I don't believe Izzo would all of a sudden become a bad coach just because of success. Over the years he has clearly had much success on a consistent basis and the success has obviously not gone to his head.
