Will have to be very lucky to get 6-6. I'll take the under.
February 29th, 2020 at 2:05 AM ^
Hard to say at this point. They lost a lot of starters on defense. I would think their O-line will be better, it would be hard to be much worse. It will be interesting to see if they try and get a transfer QB. If they can’t find a transfer QB it could be a long season. Just seems to be a lot of hype for a coach who was 5-7 last year.
February 29th, 2020 at 6:46 AM ^
Seems like it was said for years about Michigan that the offensive line couldn't be worse. Then the next year rolled around.
February 29th, 2020 at 2:18 AM ^
They finish 5-7 at best
February 29th, 2020 at 2:30 AM ^
They have a brutal schedule next year. 6-6 is probably a good outcome
February 29th, 2020 at 3:20 AM ^

Time to revisit all the 3-9 jokes
February 29th, 2020 at 7:02 AM ^
Don't care ...
February 29th, 2020 at 7:02 AM ^
Well I don't know who they hired because this post says nothing. I say 3 and 9.
February 29th, 2020 at 7:30 AM ^
This^
I have no idea who all their coaches are and really have no interest in going to look. I've seen reports from time to time on here but I really haven't kept up because... MSU. OP should have typed up their entire staff if you want to really have a discussion.
February 29th, 2020 at 7:57 AM ^
I'll add another neg to the OP---no link, no content, nothing but a snowflake.
February 29th, 2020 at 8:52 AM ^
Shit tittle too.
February 29th, 2020 at 1:57 PM ^
I love tittles
Big ol' tittles.
February 29th, 2020 at 10:49 AM ^
Exactly. I honestly wonder what the thinking process looks like that leads to posting threads like this one. Its basically nothing more than just a random thought the OP had supported by absolutely nothing of substance.
February 29th, 2020 at 11:16 AM ^
OP is a Detroit area radio host. Either he’s drunk or he’s trying to drum up some calls for his show late on a Friday night.
What does the title even mean? Mel Tucker has upgraded? He had a kid? His last coach hire is a cloned version of himself to be DC?
There’s another mediocre coach who just signed a big contract?
February 29th, 2020 at 8:15 PM ^
He’s a weekend and fill in host.
February 29th, 2020 at 11:47 AM ^
What else do you expect from a 97.1 The Ticket show host
February 29th, 2020 at 6:22 PM ^
The news is in and the post is complete... While the post lacks _substance_ I think this OP will continue to provide snowflake takes frequently next year.
February 29th, 2020 at 7:19 AM ^
More like 3-9 2.0, amirite?
February 29th, 2020 at 8:41 AM ^
Did not care for 1.0 and care less for 2.0
February 29th, 2020 at 8:57 AM ^
2.0 wins sounds about right
February 29th, 2020 at 9:13 AM ^
Tough schedule. Sitting here right now there are like 2 games where they'll take the field as the clear favorite. If he pulls 6-6 and an upper half of the division, strong candidate for Big Ten Coach of the Year.
February 29th, 2020 at 9:50 AM ^
Unless they go 2-10, he is going to get a pass on his performance this year. MSU fans aren’t expecting much this year.
February 29th, 2020 at 10:10 AM ^
Mel is the Michigan hockey coach
Tucker is a news guy that wears a bow tie
I don’t know who Mel Tucker is
February 29th, 2020 at 6:25 PM ^
Not sure who Mel is, but Tucker is definitely this guy.
February 29th, 2020 at 10:41 AM ^
Difficult schedule, first year coach with only one previous HC year under his belt, significant off season transfers, turmoil, underwhelming recent recruiting classes. I think this is a 5-7 or likely worse team. It is hard to imagine them making a bowl game this season.
February 29th, 2020 at 11:34 AM ^
They'll be lucky to win 4
February 29th, 2020 at 11:45 AM ^
The play Miami BYU in the non conference and Iowa Michigan Ohio state Minnesota penn state. Assuming they beat everyone else that puts them at 5-7. I think at best 7-5 and at worst 4-8
February 29th, 2020 at 11:51 AM ^
If they go 6-6 next year, Tucker would be worth every bit of what theyre paying him. That schedule is brutal. That’s a 3-4 win team at best.
February 29th, 2020 at 12:12 PM ^
Three things you shouldn't do when drunk: drive, post on mgoblog, text your ex's.
February 29th, 2020 at 1:06 PM ^
Unless of course your ex trolls MGoBlog and you start a thread (with a correct title) to have her pick you up because you're drunk and shouldn't drive.
All the MGoPoints if she shows up with White Castle.
February 29th, 2020 at 12:24 PM ^
They need to strike gold in the transfer portal or get incredibly lucky with turnovers to hit 6-6. I think only 4 wins are more likely than 6.
Their roster is a disaster with very little explosiveness or depth. Top players graduated or left early - Wiiliams, Bachie, Willikes, Scott, White, Stewart, old Panaciuk. Lewerke was absolutely awful and no one even threatened to displace him. Their D was the only decent unit and it’s gutted. Simmons might be the only guy to reach 2nd team all-B1G this year.
Tucker might be a better coach than his track record and he might boost recruiting, but MSU has probably 2-3 years of sub .500 or mediocrity until the roster can be rebuilt.
"Their roster is a mess"
Sorta like having only 5 top 100 players on your roster?
February 29th, 2020 at 12:24 PM ^
he'll be lucky if he is 6-6 in five years. The cupboard is bare and this year's recruiting class has been a disaster.
February 29th, 2020 at 12:56 PM ^
I thought this was the RCMB board. Infatuation with an MSU team that will struggle against Minnesota and Wisconsin. Zzzzzzz.
February 29th, 2020 at 2:34 PM ^
We got blown the fuck out by Wisconsin and would have had a hard time with Minnesota last year. If we only cared about teams that wouldn’t struggle against either of them, we’d have very little to talk about.
February 29th, 2020 at 2:53 PM ^
It might be 2-3 years before anyone knows if this is going to work. Tucker will need a few classes, and he is in the unenviable position of being under the scrutiny of a fanbase that would probably do something highly immoral but also physically challenging to the Spartan statue to get back to early to mid-Dantonio performance.
February 29th, 2020 at 3:57 PM ^
I assumed the OP's title meant that just like Tucker seems grossly overpaid given his experience, so too will his assistants. Except for the DC, aren't all the the assistants recycled CU and MSU coaches, just with, presumably, significant pay increases?
