What do you think of Mel Tucker as a HC candidate?

Candidates should be at least somewhat plausible. He wouldn't take a step down.

He could rule the ACC and win the NC with Miami whereas there is a ceiling at MSU. He's having a special year, but he's clearly catching lightning in a bottle.

If he had higher expectations for his career, Miami is a perfect spot for a good coach: #1 fertile recruiting grounds, destination location and huge media brand the would loud him as the 2nd coming of Lombardi if he were the one that resurrected the Canes.

Coming from Canes fan I guess some of that makes sense. In reality UM is a broken institution that gives very little fux about athletics. MSU was in CFB 2015 let that sink in. Outside looking in the grass isn't greener.

Any coach with a strong sense of discipline, accountability, and physicality, would probably do a lot better than diaz
 
LOL...and I'm not LOL'ing because He's not a good coach, He most definitely IS, but Tucker makes $5.5M/year, no telling what His BO is, while the most we've ever paid a coach is what, $4M/year to Richt?...LOL.

Anyways, the ship has sailed on hiring Tucker, we should've hired Him after Richt retired, ****, even further back than that to when Golden got fired.

A similar coaching candidate to Tucker this cycle is Aranda, I read that He's interested.
 
I'm sticking to my longtime assertion that Tucker actually is a corch. Patience. He'll be exposed as such this season and very soon. Look at their schedule. They've rolled against obviously junk opponents (Northwestern lost to Dook and by about 1000 against mighty Nebraska) on the back of a good RB and semi-competent QB play.

Disagree with me now but I guarantee at year's end the narrative about him will be that it "seems" like he has them going in the right direction and that he inherited a mess blah blah blah....as they finish the regular season losing like 4 of their last 5 and a few of them by very wide margins.

Why would you run to hire a coach, that by your own words, is catching lightning in a bottle? Tucker wouldn't be in my top 10, he's a complete unknown for me

I see you’re thinking outside the box op!!!
Let’s get a coach away from a school that told him we’re gonna give you what you need and want and bring him here with an admin that has a checklist full of no’s before he even takes one step in campus.

Of course he’s a corch

Barely hung on to an Indians team with the backup AB and beat up against some scrub teams
