Back in February, when the world still allowed for trivial things, newly-hired Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker had a press conference to lead, a coaching staff to build and a new house to buy with one question sitting at the front of his mind:
“How are we going to get the dogs there?”
For three years, Tucker has brought the same family along for these moves up the coaching ladder, from Athens, Georgia; to Boulder, Colorado; to East Lansing, Michigan. He’s had his wife, JoJo; his sons, 18-year-old Joseph and 16-year-old Christian; and his mother-in-law.
And he’s had two English white labs, KJ and PJ.
