I could sit here and write another article about how great Mel Tucker’s hire of another assistant was great, but I’d be beating a dead horse because he’s been hitting home run after home run, especially given the timing of everything, so I’ll just focus on specifics.
Tucker hired Wisconsin receivers coach Ted Gilmore on Friday afternoon to coach the Spartans’ tight ends. Yes, this is a fantastic hire, but that’s a lazy take.
No, I’ll go much further into why this hire makes sense, and then some. The former receivers coach of Wyoming, Houston, Purdue, Colorado, Nebraska, USC, the Oakland Raiders and Wisconsin has coached tight ends before and has even been an associate head coach with the Cornhuskers and brings a wealth of experience with him to East Lansing.
