Mel Tucker leaves CU for Michigan State

Well I am about done with CU football. I would not be surprised if we suck for another decade. If I was a coach I would be wary of coming here. Maybe just hire Chev and say **** it. At least he loves the program. NCAA needs to change rules for the kids that just got ****ed over. Not fair to them. Maybe I will start watching basketball.
 
MT is absolutely getting hammered by coaches, former coaches and sports analysts nationally. That great reputation he had - gone!

One thing could make this day better - if the MSU board that is meeting at 3:00pm decides not to allow the hire! Given his resignation at CU, the douche nozzle would be without a job and his reputation permanently stained!

Plus, he would owe us $3 million.
 
Buyout details for Tucker

In 2019: $4 million
In 2020: $3 million
In 2021: $1.8 million
In 2022: $1 million
In 2023: $1 million

If we fire him:

In 2022: $6.45 million
In 2023: $3.5 million

This really is poor contract writing

Let me address this since I’ve seen it mentioned several times. It is certainly a contract weighted in favor of the coach and not the school. However, that’s pretty common.

It MAY have been a bad contract to have a low buyout, but remember attracting Tucker to CU was a negotiation. He may have insisted on the low buyout or would not have come at all. None of us were in that negotiation room.
 
I’d do it for 100k a year and I’d never Tucking leave. No Tucking way. At the end of the day you gotta be able to look at yourself in the mirror. Price of mind is priceless.
 
It will be interesting to see his coaching staff at MSU. Were his struggles getting assistants really due to money or is his pull not very good?
 
seems like a good reason to sign up for my first season tickets. If you’re a <10 year graduate it’s a great promotion they’re running. F Tucker.
 
Everyone is comparing this to when Neuheisal left.....it is SO much worse. This won't be a popular factoid, but Rick wanted to stay at CU, but was told to leave by Tharp.

The exact opposite happened here.
 
Good riddance. He was garbage anyway. Showed that this season.

I bet MikMak is laughing his ass off right now.

Will Alfano follow to sparty?
