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!!!!

It was easy to dismiss Tucker because it just didn't seem real.
 
I’m so stoked about this hire. I think RG hitbit out of that park. I hate to make this about me, but I’m gonna miss these polls.
 
One 'big' distinction between MT and FCMM is their physique. It may not seem important, but I think it is.

MM was/is overweight most of his time here. He did make a concerted effort to lose weight to show his commitment -- it was during the one good year of 2016. As he got heavier again, the team also fell apart. Not a direct link, but representative.

MT is a big man, but he looks and acts very fit. Appears to have relatively low body fat. I think it's an example of paying attention to being healthy and being accountable. It shows his attention to detail and appearances, literally and figuratively. I really think it would carry over in how he relates to the players and the team.

.........w.t.f??? Think you're stretching to heap praise on Tucker due to your excitement.

Yeah, it's always baffled me how guys like Mangino and Weis could have any credibility with their players when they talk about conditioning and diet. It's got to be easier to get on the players when you practice what you preach.

There's a lot of bell curve in between Charlie Strong and Mark Mangino. :ROFLMAO:

I think this is one heck of a nothing burger, but if it makes someone excited about Tucker then that's fine. Just understand that he's not exactly in playing shape and that college head coaches don't exactly have the types of jobs that lend themselves to taking care of themselves. :)

A selling factor for Coach Tucker moving to Boulder was his love of road cycling. He will fit right in.
