CU officially hires Mel Tucker as new Head Football Coach
- Thread starter dio
- Start date
Our offensive and defensive lines will be "massive". All the OL are happy they get to eat again!
Wants both lines to be MASSIVE, but also athletic.
"Football is a tough game for big people. We want to be stout in the trenches on both sides of the ball. I want to make sure we're massive on both sides of the line. With that mass, we'll be quick and explosive"
Makes sure to emphasize that Colorado recruiting is important, with the qualifier that they have to be the "best" in state.
they didnt let me thru!
perfect answer to that question.
heh. people are funny. A guy who wants an offense with the QB under center.
Left unsaid: If we are recruiting at championship levels, we will have 1-2 guys per year from in-state.
Did that caller just tell MT the caller "might be interviewing for [RG]'s position one day" ....
hard to listen to this. old lady knocking on the predictability of Chev's calls. 
unlistenable as the avg fan is duh.......
Wants to use Juco to augment the roster, not be the basis for the roster.
Sounds like he expects Juco to be the exception for building his roster, not the rule. Knows that Jayhawk league well it seems.

Easy. That may have been Duff!
More than 1-2 but capped at 5 or so.
Heh. Been a big proponent of zone read.
All I can hear from Martha Anne:
Your time in the BNL was underappreciated.
Asked about scheme.
"My philosophy in football is 'do what your players can do'."
Mel's definitely a guy who believes in Jimmies and Joes. Sounds like he's all about being physically dominant in the trenches, recruiting for speed, and then what your skill guys do well is going to determine the types of plays you call.

I don't think you believe that or didn't read "championship level". If you are recruiting "top few" classes (someday), there's closer to 1 than 5 in-state recruits.
Competitive in the P12 THIS SEASON. No self imposed limitations. Dang.
"Meat and potatoes program. Won't be a lot of French pastry."
2nd time I've heard him use that line now.
He just gets it. Plain and simple. Guy has been around championship programs and championship coaches, he knows that forcing a scheme on players that aren't a good fit will never work out. Love this guy.
Another reason why I have a MT man crush.
He does not make excuses.
He does not condone excuses.
He does not create mental barriers to success.
MT is a positive thinker. It’s not in a new agey type of way. It is in the there is no other option but to succeed type of way.
