re: Check out Mel Tucker's QB stats

I honestly don’t even think Tucker is on the list. If he is, it’s way down there. There was no reason to even consider him until a few weeks ago. Very likely the process started way before then. But I think he’s doing an amazing job.

There's been talk of Tucker from the beginning and I know media doesn't necessarily meet reality, but I wouldn't take Tucker out of the mix.

If I had to make a case for him he's coached in the SEC at Bama, LSU and UGA including a DC stint. He spent 4 years at Ohio St including one as co-DC He's been a DC at 3 different NFL teams. He has HC experience and is doing very well in his 2nd season at Mich St. His biggest drawback is limited HC experience. He's a respected coach that recruits well, motivates and can coach 1 side of the ball. He also has no baggage that I am aware. He also helps in terms of the culture problems that have occurred under Ed if you put any stock in that.

Regardless of where he is on Scott's list, if he finishes well, Tucker becomes a big player in the process. JMHO
