Mel Tucker was a great defensive backs coach. At Michigan State he has shown some flashes as a head coach. Yet one of his weakest position groups since starting at Michigan State has been the defensive secondary. This needs to change in 2023.
The defensive backfield has been an Achilles heel for the Spartans under Mel Tucker. Even in a system that seems designed to let opponents complete shorter passes, the Spartan Secondary has almost no identity over the past few years other than being easily beaten.
