Mel Tucker agrees to become new head coach at Michigan State, report says

Mel Tucker apparently had a change of heart. And that means CU Buffs fans will likely wake up on Wednesday morning to find their hearts broken.

Tucker, who was hired in December 2018 and just completed a debut 5-7 season as the football coach of the Buffs — the best record for a first-year coach at CU in 20 seasons — has reportedly agreed to take the same position at Michigan State.

The move, and the timing — first reported by Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports and The Athletic around midnight Denver time — provided another stunning twist in what’s been a roller-coaster six days for Buffs faithful.
