Mel Tucker leaves CU for Michigan State

There was an appropriate reaction within a good timeframe. Glad it did not drag out all weekend.
Entertaining an interview (if that’s what happened) after his first season as a HC where he had a losing record is unusual.
What part of “Just so we’re clear, I don’t think anyone is bothered that other schools have interest in coach Tucker” was confusing to you?

I support systemic racism
Different. He said he was here for the long haul and then we thought he might leave after one season. If he turns us around and then leaves after 6 years fine
If we have a winning season next season, more contact will happen. This is part of the deal.
Some folks not used to this.
the denial got issued. that is what mattered. the commitment was reaffirmed. that is what mattered.
i do not believe that the die hards here, waking up to the reported news that their 5-7 first year head coach who just finished his first full recruiting class was "going to interview" for the msu job, "overreacted."
this **** moves fast sometimes. if he wins here, programs are going to take a run at him. that's life and hopefully we will match if we need to. if we don't, then at least hope the program is winning and stable if he leaves.
this timing was really bad, across the board. this is quite certainly the best possible outcome for the program. so, take it as a win and move on.

No college football fan is used to interest in a coach after one season.
I love MT but fully expect him to take an SEC job in 3 or 4 years once he turns the program around and we start winning. Not trying to be negative either, just being realistic about the situation.

When we win next season is what I'm sure you meant. People are really going to freak then, really glad twitter wasn't around when Mac was coaching. What a great day Buffs cut down the trees and coach Tucker said he isn't going anywhere. You good after Clemson let us down.
Pac 12 schools tho should get used to it. Our conference sucks.
They saw a lot of potential.
Of course.
That's not what you said though. Which fanbases are used to interest in their HC after one season?
Exactly. Our fight is with Larry Scott. Bury him.
Exactly what?
Those with low salaries, poor assistant pools and tough admissions?Of course.

I expect this will provoke change.
Hint: is there a pattern to which conference the 1 year coaches left for?

Except that if it was bogus from the start, it should have been quickly quashed, especially with RG being right there.
Graham did it twice I think. But it was Rice and Pitt. Not a P12 team.
They all involved the Pac-12, but those were the only P5 to P5 jumps I could think of period.

MSU is in an unusual situation. Dantonio, seemingly, waited for a bonus in January and then quit the day before signing day. So their search was going to be, and has been, unconventional. Their list of prospective coaches was limited by the timing and they started looking for connections and positives under rocks. Tucker was, according to an anonymous source, in their top 3. If Dantonio retires after their bowl game, is Tucker in their top 25?
A first time HC with a 5-7 season nonetheless. That is the strange part and anyone trying to downplay it or chalk it up to “BBF” doesn’t get it.
You hire, and pay, based on potential. He was a very reasonable second tier choice for MSU, especially if they called Saban, given their unusual circumstances.

Big Jim and Hawg1 = Legends in their own minds!
What did this board do for cheap entertainment before they came along?
This.
I don't want to make this into something that's going to cause people to take sides or dig in. We are all on the same side here.
But people have got to wrap their heads around the fact that if we're swimming in the deep end:
- Other schools will try to hire Mel Tucker away
- Other schools will try to poach our assistants
- Many of our recruits will be playing up the drama during their recruitment and other schools will be trying to poach our commits
That’s damn funny. Your take?
Don’t do that. You will get clumped in with me and Big Jim. Maybe Manhattan. Your reputation is too good for that.
I heard late today from some well placed sources (but 2nd hand) that Mel did interview, and that RG and MT had a bit of a public spat.
Could certainly have been done while in California.
After 1 year, if true, that suggests an issue. Sugar-coat if you want.
Brilliint, the first time you’ve added value around here. Your drive by hot takes at the best.
