Mel Tucker leaves CU for Michigan State

[SerenityBuff]

Tucker has to be the source.

Good.

I think a sinkhole that swallows the stadium and everything in it for it to never be seen again would be a good option.

That's always the best option. That or meteor, but the likelihood of either is remote.

So you're saying there is a chance?

Rick George completely danced around the question of whether Tucker was truthful and honest about the process. Translation: Tucker and his reps were working behind CU's back to get this done. @hawg1 can we drop the notion that RG was in the loop the whole time please. Tucker is a snake.

He looked pissed about it to me. At least, he stayed composed. I sure as hell wouldn't have.

It's time to ban green and red from the Champions Center.

Dude looks nervous AF.

He knows he is getting destroyed nationally right now and has burned some bridges. He also knows he has to win and win immediately. Unfortunately for him he has 3 programs in his own division who beat that team 106-27 collectively last year.

I am sure this must have been posted somewhere, but just in case.

I'm sorry but what the **** is Will talking about?

It has. Feel free to post it again whenever you feel like it, however.

He is reading a script card of some sort

Hands. The hands.

Thanks. Will do. One of the best tweets of the year in my view.

Would fit with hiring Grinch (the Oklahoma DC)

 

[Jens1893]

Read the replies. He says the agreement between MSU and Tucker was reached before he attended the donor event, but can't remember where he saw it as "it's a blur".

Three words for Drew Pearson: "offensive pass interference"

 

[hawg1]

that's really the worst. **** us over as fans, alright **** you but we get the game. But those kids that were out there running through walls for you and you just ditch them without saying ****? What a *****

Did he ask to address the players?

 

[somebody]

Ok, maybe I went too far I'm just saying that we need a Colorado guy who won't burn us like POS Tucker did.

Why would you limit your pool to Colorado? Guranteed failure.

 

[Buffnik]

Will's gone a bit off the hook. But RG hasn't had a great run with hiring and contracts, so he is not teflon here.

Also, Rick George doesn't exactly walk on water for CU basketball fans like he has for CU football fans. Perceptions of job performance driven by what sport someone cares about more.

fwiw, I think he's a damn good AD who has been extremely good for the competitive foundations of CU athletics. He has made mistakes, but I have a lot of confidence in him.

Agreed, but it looks like you cannot take the SEC out of SEC Coaches!!! More physical, more brutal backstabbing. Look at all the coaching moves down there.

 

[somebody]

Being mad at Tucker is a waste of time and energy. We all love CU for a reason. He does not change that. Turn the page.

You're not getting me to change my new dartboard picture.

 

[hawg1]

Not the least bit surprised.

Bad question. Should have asked if he requested to speak to the players.

 

[hawg1]

CU isn’t buying out his contract, he has to pay CU 3 Million dollars to sign with MSU.

MSU pays.

 

[hawg1]

Maybe Tucker wanted to address the team and Rick George told him to pound sand. Based on RG's comments, I think it's likely that they no longer have a good relationship.

This was the right response from Rick. He’s moving on. Real exec.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Read the replies. He says the agreement between MSU and Tucker was reached before he attended the donor event, but can't remember where he saw it as "it's a blur".

That may be, but Will is implying RG knew about the contract being signed and Tucker being gone before all that. I believe Tucker probably had an agreement in place prior to all of that, but to suggest RG would sit there and let him lie through his teeth.

 

[SewallBeach]

Blahhhhhh

Snakes on a plane.

I know it shouldn't matter but mentioning Colorado in your 15 word introductory statement felt like an extra kick in the dick.

 

[Jens1893]

I'd love to see a video of RG finding out Tucker was still in touch with MSU and the calls between RG and Tucker and then RG and his agent.

 

[Creebuzz]

Agreed, but it looks like you cannot take the SEC out of SEC Coaches!!! More physical, more brutal backstabbing. Look at all the coaching moves down there.

Tucker is a midwestern guy, not southern.

I actually think the southern coaches tend to be more loyal, but I think you can construct a narrative around anything with certain examples.

 

[thisbuff]

MSU pays.

Of course MSU pays the buyout, but it's low compared to other coaches
