Colorado announced Georgia defensive coordinator Mel Tucker was named the school's new head coach on Wednesday.
The 46-year-old Tucker has coached in the pros or collegiate level for 22 seasons, including three years as Georgia's defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach. Of note, Tucker was also a seven-year NFL defensive coordinator for three teams and was the interim head coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2011, earning a 2-3 record.
A former defensive back at the University of Wisconsin, Tucker's last two Bulldogs defenses have been lights-out, ranking fourth and ninth in defensive efficiency in Division-I FBS, per Football Outsiders.
