After having this press announcement sink in a bit I'm even more excited about this hire. One thing that keeps coming up in my mind is that he was a player during a period of greatness in CU football history, and even more so, he played against some of those players he named. He played CU in the hand full of years right after our NC and has that respect for the program as a player. To me, it ALMOST feels like a person who was connections to the program, but not in the same way as a former player. This will be the longest 9 months ever.
I hadn't seen this posted anywhere else...
Best interview I've heard with him. He is a recruiter and his team will be relentless. So excited.

So far the best radio interview out there. Lewis and Logan did a good job staying on point. Didn't ask about his kids sports aspirations or his former players...
I am really excited now. The interview on the Fan yesterday night was a little embarrassing. Afterwords HCMT was probably thinking WTF? was that about. Now when he sits down with Chev and finds out his son is on the team, might raise an eyebrow. Can not wait till he meets the players and we start getting a feeling from them what they think.
Logan is the best in denver for straight football interviews.

While Logan is very good, there are houseplants that can challenge some of the sports talk hosts in this town.
Man, every interview I've heard from him so far has basically stated there should be no excuses for not being able to be successful here. Compare that with what we heard came out in Wells interview with the "lets make sure we're being realistic here.'
Also it was interesting that he apparently has had detailed enough discussions to know that our ability to take jucos has changed a bit and how that potentially impacts recruiting.

The last coach made some excuses too, not just Wells.
I think he is talking about the rule changes a couple of years ago that made JUCO admissions more uniform so CU has as good of a chance as the lower tier academic schools to get those kids now.
You have talked about this before, but yes, MM made plenty of subtle excuses in the media.
His public attitude toward recruiting should have been a red flag to a lot of people.
I remember reading that on here about Wells, but where did that come out from? 247, FootballScoop?
Nate was just wondering how this guy was going to work out West and was going on and on about how Tucker wouldn't understand the cultural issues here with a school that doesn't support football, etc. etc. Valid concerns.
But then he was wondering how Tucker would handle a program whose ceiling was being Utah.
