Assistants do the bulk of the recruiting footwork. He will be a closer, and a good one. It doesn’t matter if he didn’t coach west of Illinois. His assistants are the ones laying the foundation. He finishes.

I think you're seeing things but Shadon Brown did follow CFBHome. Perry followed him too, but that's probably from reports.

Yup it's for real! Can't wait for hard nosed Buffs football again! Really interested to see who the OC will be and what kind of offense Tucker prefers.
HC is more of a closer as a recruiter and he's getting praised for his closing skills everywhere.
For a position coach I'd agree about the footprint, relationships in the area thing, but for a HC I think how relatable he is and how he does in the living room is the main thing. Plus a guy with his background should know the importance of recruiting and I'd expect him to address his lack of relationships in Texas and in Calfornia by hiring guys who have just that.
Possible Tucker just had a better plan and a better interview. He does have Lake beat in both years of experience as a play caller and more senior leadership positions. If he’s a good recruiter you can offset a lack of contacts by hiring the right staff. I doubt Mac 1.0 had a Rolodex of HS coaches in LA and Houston when came here from Michigan.
Passenger pick up area?
Now don't let it escape.
Preferably QB...
His NFL Experience is huge for recruits
If he can close, then MAYBE the Buffs become a more nationwide recruiter? Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Texas should already be strong for him.
Good Coordinators and some good West Coast assistants would help. Some of those USC Guys would do the trick?
Excited! The RISE is back on, we fell back down the hill, now we got up, dusted ourselves off and can follow Coach Tucker back up the hill!

Over on the $...5 years is the max so spot on there.

For reference $3.4M would put him top half of the conference ahead of Chip Kelly and just behind Leach. That’s a lot for a first time HC.
I'm thinking $3.5M a year so not much more but, it'll be interesting to see if CU had to pay a so called premium for his services.
Funny how Coach Tucker, who I never voted for in the poll, feels to me like a home run! The Georgia fans on twitter can’t say enough good about him.
LONG LIVE HCMT!!
Hip hip hooray!!!!

Alright, you’ve sold me! Very excited about the possibilities here. Very anxious to see what his plans are at OC (and full offensive staff).

Excited to find out how he’s going to fix an abysmal OL as well...

Need to lock down the “keeps” in the class like Perry, Toler, Dixon, Evans and Martin and then go all out after top targets like Ford, Darius Robinson, Liku, Criddell, Jermaine Johnson (current UGA commit), etc.
