MSU Spartan

No he won't ... and I'm not saying that as "MSU Fan boy". Mel has moved around a ton and I think he wants to settle in one place for at least a few years. His son is in high school...his wife graduated from MSU...and he completely flipped the script and trajectory of MSU program in less than two seasons.

I don't think you guys realize what a miracle it is that he has the team at 8-1. He has 41 new players on the team this year. He worked magic with the portal. He's barely gotten going and already, has curb-stomped Harbaugh and Michigan twice. He has a Top 15 recruiting class coming in, a new practice facility built to his specifications, and an Athletic Director he's very close with.

So yes, the LSU job is Top 10 (maybe Top 5). But I think Tucker realizes he has the opportunity to do something legendary at MSU, whereas at LSU, even if he won a National Championship, I seriously doubt it would go down in history as legendary. But the main reason I think Tucker would turn down LSU (IF he were ever offered) is because I suspect his next job won't be at one of the elite college programs - I think it will be in the NFL. I think he has eyes on the NFL - maybe in the next few years.

Thanks! It's always fun to read the message boards of schools going through a coaching search. This one obviously had my attention even more, given Tucker being amongst the candidates.
