Mel Tucker leaves CU for Michigan State

[DeNiro]

what the ****

HCMT will interview to gauge his market value. That will be taken to Rick George. The ball will be in Rock George's court and we find out how serious our AD is about big boy football. If they are serious HCMT will be making $3.5-4 mil a year here. Or he bombs the interview, we know that probably won't happen.

Andy Lindhol seems confident he’s not leaving

Tucker has a good agent. Get the checkbook out, Rick!

I don’t doubt that a lot of coaches interview in order to leverage a raise from their current employer, but how common is that after 1 year at a new job?

Fairly common and becoming more common in this day and age.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

I think a lot of people outside the program must be seeing the same thing we are in HCMT.

Really, like who? You may be right but I can’t think of someone off the top of my head who interviewed for another job after 1 year. Regardless, I would think it makes recruiting harder if it puts his long term commitment to CU in question.

 

[BuffsRising]

There is no reason to take an anonymous source in the detroit free press as gospel. But even if he is interviewing, the odds of him getting an offer and leaving are remote.

 

[SINKRATZ]

If nothing else, this should allow AB to freak out whenever any P5 job opens from now until eternity.

In our own conference, Taggert. Oregon to FSU.

He didn’t interview to leverage a raise - he wanted that job and took it. I hope that’s not the precedent here.

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

If true,

There is an up and coming D Coord in Memphis....

 

[Buffalo Brad]

Whatever. Do not believe one word of the story. I do believe his agent is talented but we will see. HCMT is not leaving at this point. Maybe in a couple of years with a bit more success but I think he is here for the long haul as long as CU takes care of him

And was fired before finishing season #2.

Do you not believe it because you don’t trust the Detroit Free Press or because you don’t want to believe it?

Now I hate MSU

I guess I do not believe the paper. Has nothing to do with whether I want to or not. Just not buying it at all at this point

Players are starting to react on Twitter. This needs to be addressed quickly

This better not be true....but if it is, someone get EB on the phone. Or there’s always Dave Logan

CU doesn't do quickly.

Urban Meyer. It would be the ultimate Mike Bohn move to lose Meyer to his former employer after keeping Helton.

Who’s reacting so far?

Flight tracker data suggests it’s true.

what?? Mel Tucker is in California with Rick George right now.

 

[BuffinCali]

MT is gone! If he wanted to stay, after having a solid recruiting year, he would see it thru and see what he could build. If he is interviewing, he will be moving on for this position or another one soon. RG can throw money but if the heart doesn't want to be here.....Go get Urban - upgrade!

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Not real happy if this is true because even if he has a good agent, he will lose some credibility if you bail on a program that loves you and took a chance on your first job and wants to provide everything you need. Smart move is to tamp it down ASAP with a small raise. Do not let him interview and get in an awkward spot! CU is the better job because of the chance to win your division.

Do you have proof of that, so we can calm down, cause I do not believe this is real!
