MSU hires Mel Tucker

[TheOriginalCane]

At his press conference he should just say, Money talks.

He needs to walk up to that podium with C.R.E.A.M. playing as his intro music.

Good for Mel. Don't know who he is but I had a brother-in-law names Mel. Just one question, name sounds like a country singer, why would MSU hire a singer to coach football?

You think he is the love child of Mel Tillis and Tanya Tucker? That doesn't seem likely, for obvious reasons, but it would be a lot of fun to explain.

Now I just spent a few minutes looking for a picture of someone just throwing money at a crowd instead of working....and I wasn't happy with anything.

You ain't lyin'...Rae Carruth, Michael Westbrook, Rashaan Salaam, Deon Figures (won Thorpe in 92'), Chris Hudson...CU had a squad

Again, if memory serves, they just did what Nebraska did and followed that model. Nebraska, I believe, used to hammer LA in recruiting as well.

Some solid players you mentioned, good call.

I think kids should be able to transfer without sitting out just as normal students do. However, we live in a society revolved around capitalism. Mel tucker if he wants should absolutely double his salary. Ppl living in their parent’s basements have no idea how the real world works. Ppl do this all the time in corporate america. Media is getting thrown out the door left and right lets have that same energy when benjamin is looking for a job.

not sure how that makes it any harder. MSU should be solid on D, and miserable on O.

Amazing how much money mediocre coaches are paid these days. Doesn’t even croot well.

And throw desperation by MSU into the mix....

My wife is the country music lover in the family but yeah those names seem to fit.

There aren’t that many black country singers out there. I guess that explains why they were willing to pay him so much.

Don't tell that to TCambell and his dad. They peed themselves like a teacup dog with excitement every time he walked in the room.

Gold.

But Mel never said he was 1000% committed..

Charlie Pride.

And Hootie.

The CMA won't even allow Li'l Nas X in the door.

I'm a huge Drew Pearson fan from back in the day. Manny needs to offer his son.

 

[Tad Footeball]

A real oldhead worth his street cred salt wouldn't have couched that "want to beat him up" with "on social media".

That said, I just wanted the vision of a 70 yr old Drew Pearson jumping in his car and trying to get to East Lansing in time to curbstomp a dude named Mel as he walks into his introductory press conference to be true.

Nah. Dantoni had a pretty impressive run over an extended period and Tucker's hire reeks of a desperation. This feels a lot like what FSU did with Taggart.
