I, I got a new life, you would hardly recognize me, I'm so glad
How can a person like me care for you?
I, why do I bother, when you're not the one for me?
Oo-hoo-hoo-oo-oo
Is enough enough?

MSU offered him a spot in the graduate program in the Nassar School of Ethics & Morals
Begging for a wiki edit
I am as far as obsessing about what happened. Sure I’m pissed. But I’m way more focused on who we are going to hire. If we hire the right guy, I’ll 100% be over it. If we hire some dud like McElwain, I may very well revert! I’m putting a lot of faith in RG!
Kap leaving really sucks. If he doesn't take Jay Johnson with him, talk about worst case scenario.
Big Jim
WTF?
Unless Chev gets the HC job, I don't see many current assistants coaching in Boulder next fall.
You wonder though that if Chev would have gotten the job quicker that he would have paid Kap to stay and even given him the OC job and maybe Kap would have called plays?
yea, but I don't want to pay Jay Johnson's buyout.
Big Jim
WTF?
I see that as suboptimal. There are many permutations of HC/OC I'd rather see.
Agreed, just thinking that maybe Tucker takes him as the QB Coach up to the land of lies
Said I was done posting here but was funny. At least to me. I was watching one of those GEICO Pinocchio commercials, the one where he’d gotten a blind date by sending a head shot of a model. As he lies, his nose gets longer and longer. She walks out and as he turns to watch her leave his long nose knocks dishes off a waitresses tray. There is a guy in a booth who turns his head at the commotion. I’ll leave this here:

Great SI article on Captain Transfer Portal - aka Melvin "Integrity- We are Family" Tucker -- https://www.si.com/college/2020/02/16/mel-tucker-colorado-michigan-state-football
He will forever be known as the Bernie Madoff of college football....I get doubling one's salary with one stroke of the pen....but he sold Buff players and recruits a bill of goods. Hopefully UM, tOSU, Wisco and Penn State bury his ass for the next 5 years

I missed the part where Tucker stole the life savings of some people.
Can people stop calling him Melvin as if it’s some kind of insult?

In the 80's Melvin meant dork or nerd. Still a little dumb tho

The happiest person at Tucker/MSU press conference was Tucker’s wife.
The fact of the matter is Mel can flat out recruit and showed himself as a great builder of culture. I believe he would do this different if he could redo.
I would brace yourself for the high probability that he’s very successful.
Isn’t that why we are so freakin pissed off? We saw CU being relevant nationally. Look who we recruited. Drew Pearson grandson, Jerry Rice’s kid. Among others.
Candidly his biggest Mistake is that he underestimated his own potential. His upside at CU both from a legacy and a financial standpoint over the long run is higher in Boulder
I wany Rick a George to keep go all in on national prominence. Whatever that looks like

I have to agree that MT is bad at probabilities and long-term thinking. The likelihood that he will be successful at MSU is much lower than it is at CU. Not only does he have to compete with OSU, Michigan, and Penn State in his division, but he has also destroyed his credibility with recruits. At CU, he could have built a reputation as a standup guy, and even if he left after a couple of years for a job at Wisconsin (his alma mater), or for a better SEC coaching job, his reputation would still be intact.
Instead, he blew all of that up after his first year as a head coach. He gets a lucrative short-term payout, but he goes to only a slightly better program that is under a heavy cloud of scandal and corruption. Things may work out for him, but the odds aren't that good. He either underestimated his own potential, or he doesn't have much confidence in himself and feels that the MSU payday was the best he will ever get.
