Mel Tucker to Michigan St

[wingsauce7]

When Tucker found out MSU offered to double his salary..

 

[Across The Field]

Funny that just yesterday Tucker made the rounds on local Denver radio talking about being flattered to be considered for the MSU job, but how happy he was to be at Colorado.

I'd be pissed if I were a CU fan.

Dude had his salary doubled and got to move much closer to home and his family. The situation sucks, but who wouldn't do that?

I agree the fit is better and the money is ridiculous for a HC with 1 year of experience. I'm just saying the way he handled it was fucked up.

It's a bad look for Tuck.

My guess is he had no idea the offer was coming, at least not the one they gave him last night. Who would expect $6+m a year when you're only making $3.2m? Sure, it's not a great look, but he had to have been completely blown away, as would anyone.

Does this hire cause concern for tOSU?

It does not.

Winners?

It does not.

Didn't think so.

Didn't think so.

If I was Michigan I'd be a little concerned. Tucker is known for his recruiting. He may be able to get kids that might have otherwise gone to Michigan.

$3 million more dollars will soften the blow, but imagine moving from boulder to East Lansing. Poor guy.

I very much doubt that any coach will be able to seriously impact our recruiting at MSU. If Dantonio couldn’t do it while we sucked and they were winning conference titles, no one will.

But CU is a premier CFB school....

pretty sure it is the only college to have a kicker get sexually assaulted by teammates. Can't get more premiere than that.

 

[Wamu]

So Tucker has moved on. That's okay. Half of the so-called Buffs fans around here didn't know his name anyway.

Or ask Nebraska.

Oh my god. You’re right!!! How could I have possibly forgotten the Riley Dog.

Good ol’ Mark Riley.
We’ll never forget him.

Saban was able to do it to an extent for his short time there. Even a couple in state kids each cycle could have an impact.

I can see that. But Michigan hasn't won the B1G East in forever.

I was asking how concerned the Ohio State faithful are with this hire. Other than the one Penn State championship, Sparty is the B1G East team that has been a thorn in the side of the bucknuts over the past few years.

Drew Pearson ain't having it.....


For you millennials. Drew Pearson played for the Dallas Cowboys in the 70s.

Mel Tucker's comments about the transfer portal come to light

Short of hiring Day, no hire for Michigan State should cause concern for Ohio State.
