CU officially hires Mel Tucker as new Head Football Coach

Tucker quotes:

"Colorado has always been a place that I thought should be relevant in the national championship conversation year-in and year-out, because of its tradition and a seemingly endless list of what the school has to offer," Tucker said. "What we have to offer are some of the best facilities in the country, strong academics, and an amazing environment as a whole. Colorado should be a 'no excuse' program. There's absolutely no reason we can't achieve success at an extremely high level.

"I can remember when Colorado was dominant with players like Kordell Stewart, Rashaan Salaam, Chris Hudson, Darian Hagan, Alfred Williams and others," Tucker continued. "Colorado always had difference makers and was very dynamic on both sides of the ball. That's the imprint instilled in my mind when it came to CU. My plan is to continue to restore that tradition and make sure that Colorado once again becomes an elite national program. There's not a better place in America to live, to coach and go to school."​

I love that he uses “we” and wants to create a “no-excuse program”

George has proposed that CU's Board of Regents approve a five-year deal for Tucker worth $14.75 million of which the first-year salary would be $2.4 million and then increase by $275,000 annually, not including additional pay if any of several incentives in the contract are met. The Regents must approve Tucker's contract, which campus leaders hope to present for their consideration at their Dec. 12 special meeting in Denver.

Very very affordable contract, that means in my opinion that he is bringing some big time Coordinators with him that he wants to pay!!!
What a great day

Yeah. He’s taking $1 million less than the last guy. My gut reaction is like yours: the extra dough will go into the assistant pool.

The last guy's base salary was less. There are some incentives that he gets paid out on, even when fired, that raised the overall number.

My guess is that Tucker has a similar situation. "Modest" base salary, plus easily attainable incentives.

Love a winner that bets on himself!!!
Everything he said gave me chills, this is our guy. Seemed like a reincarnation of Bill McCartney and feels the same way about Boulder.
Knows and feels we can win

Certainly makes sense to ensure you've got the support to be successful. Long-term thinking instead of just grabbing for money.
 
Can someone link me that meme of MacIntyre holding up the painting with Mel Tucker in it? I am bad at the internet apparently and can't find it.

? Macintyre’s only highly likely bonuses were $300K for academics. The base for him was just a shade under $3 million.

He's growing on the list of players that I highly dislike. Dude's an all me diva.

I think this is total bull****. KD is a good kid who wants to win and is team first. If anything, his attitude while lesser players were giving sub-par efforts during his first year in Boulder is evidence of his team-first dedication. Don't run down kids based on sour grapes from others. This guy is a competitor and leader in my opinion.
