Mel Tucker was announced as the next head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes on Wednesday. Thankfully for CU, he is staying in Boulder for the duration. Unlike some other head coaching situations, Tucker is giving himself fully to CU. The former Georgia defensive coordinator will not join the Bulldogs for the Sugar Bowl against Texas.
Tucker has to hit the ground running for recruiting. The Early Signing Day is in exactly two weeks, meaning that Mel and the new/old staff have a fortnight to keep the old commits and charge hard for new ones.
