Guy went to the portal and grabbed 15 guys including a Heisman trophy candidate and turned MSU around on a dime. Impressive.

i had a retard on the rant argue that it is a BAD SIGN THAT A COACH CAN SUCCESSFULLY USE TRANSFER PORTAL?

We don't need ESPN influencing our hires.

Let's wait until he plays a team with a pulse.

What’s more impressive, the overall record or the over 400 yards given up by his defense this year. Oh, and the 400 yards given up is against the weakest part of the schedule.

Unless something drastically changes (a win over Michigan would help), Mel Tucker is absolutely the fanbase melt candidate for sure

Not that I personally agree with that, it just is what it is at the moment. He is definitely not a fan favorite. Out of all possible hires, he gets the most poo’d on so far

They need to float Bill O’Brien’s name if they want the Tucker hire to go over better

It’s bad if a coach is forced to use the portal because of his recruiting or developmental failures, but that’s not the case with Tucker.

Our fan base is idiotic. This guy COULD go 3-1 the next 4 weeks and our fans would be slobbering to get him.

Time will tell

I’m not clicking that.

Anyone that thinks Tucker is a long term coach who can continuously compete with Alabama for the West probably got excited about Orergon too.

I hope he does. Would absolutely make me (or anyone) feel better about him. There’s very little HC data on him, so this year is certainly important data.

That said, he won’t go 3-1. They’ll bet beat by Michigan and Ohio State…and the games won’t be close. PennSt game probably too. And I’d say a split with Purdue and Maryland. So probably a 8-4 finish would be my guess. Not bad, not great, still TBD what kind of coach he will be.

I hope I’m wrong tho. I sincerely do. If he is the hire, I’d feel a lot better about it if he turns MichSt into a 9+ win team in 2 years, who wouldn’t?

The dummies on this board would rather Aranda. Mel Tucker is a better defensive coach and a better head coach.

Tucker @ Colorado

Watch this. I think Tucker is legit. I’d be real happy if we got him. He’s a serious dude.

That is a dumb argument but I don't think you build a solid program with the portal either. If you have to go get guys from the portal every year then your program is built on a house of cards.
