Poll #3 How do feel about the hire of Mel Tucker

[Agent Dave Kujan]

Mel Tucker wasn’t in the top four vote getters I’m any of the polls. I didn’t vote for him.

Having said that I think RG hit a towering home run.

Well done beloved leader!

I like polls

I voted for all but the idiot one.

I guess because he wasn’t in the original polls I didn’t pay much attention. Once his name was brought up, I was kind of sceptical based on the other options being mentioned, who happed to be coordinator in the best teams in their respective conferences (UW, OSU, Bama), so having a name from a team that seemed like it just couldn’t get over the hump and playing second fiddle in their conference seemed like a step down (and if I recall, most All Buffers though Georgia was a farce all season long). But reading his bio compare to the others seems eye watering.

Great hire, but not expecting a quick fix.

 

[CitizenKane]

Great hire, I wanted an offensive guy, but this was easily my fab defensive option. So glad we avoided Lake

Interesting you say that. Lake was my first choice. Why didn’t you like him? I’m curious

I thought we collectively decided not to b-walk this ****ing thing until the ink is dry.

Man I never thought of that. I hope I’m not the next b-walk!

Are you ****ing kidding me? Did we just B_Walk this thing??

Oh no!

I already got shredded answering that q once. For me Lake doesn't pay enough attention to the little details. Every little detail matters and any coach who creates a training video that has guys doing the wrong thing and then talks about the one thing a guy does right, isn't paying attention to the little things. No coach will include a tape full of mistakes unless he intends to call them out.

I've also heard things from a certain former Washington husky. Let some other pac school make a lake mistake.

Adam is doing Plati a favor by tweeting this quote out there, not because Adam necessarily believes it.

Plati isn't exactly known for being 100% honest and forthcoming when it comes to high pressure media situations. Powder Blue!

"b-walk" has become a verb, e.g., don't b-walk this up

Huh, thanks for sharing.

I know coaching well enough to know that you are 100% correct about attention to detail.

I don’t know football well enough to tell the whether a coach is paying attention to detail during a specific drill. But you make a great point. I’m thinking we might have dodged a bullet.

Right. All indications point to this being a handshake, wink-wink, agreement. All I'm asking is if, after a season in which we won 5 in a row, then lost 7 in a row, and there just happened to be a post about appreciating our good fortune with bowl eligibility, can we please not talk about this ****ing thing like it's a done deal until there is actual pen to paper. Is that too much to ask?

It’s the percentage of voters that picked that option. It would add up if only one vote were allowed.

Yes because there’s nothing you or I can do about the outcome and it’s really weird if you actually believe in a jinx

I'm just presenting the evidence.

14 votes is not sixty percent my dude

As of this post there were 70 people who voted. I'll let you do the math.

 

[Buffnik]

This doesn't suck at all.

Tucker may be a great hire. The lack of pressure/sacks from his defensive concerns me. In the pass heavy Pac12, you must get to the Quarterback and apply pressure. His defensive strategy in the SEC is to load up against the run and requires the CB's to play a lot of 1:1.
Tucker will also be totally reliant on the OC (that may not be a bad thing) having focused his entire career on the D side...

Are you watching the SEC Championship right now?

Yes. Do you take just one game to assess everything?
His team ranks dead last in the SEC over the course of the season, in sacks and QBs pressure. And that is with a D filled with 4 and 5 star players.
Pointing out that pressure is needed even more, throughout the season, in the Pac12.

I’m sure the Georgia defense would struggle against the high flying offenses of the Pac 12
