Mel Tucker’s victory lap Saturday afternoon at Mile High was long on hugs. And short on time.
“When I leave here, we’ve got a dinner tonight, we’ve got several young men here this week,” Tucker, the new football coach of the Colorado Buffaloes and Cleveland native said before his old hometown team (the Browns) team took on his new one (the Broncos). “And we’re going to recruit all the way until the end. We’re going to fight for the guys we want. Hit the ground running. All gas, no brakes.”
To that end, Tucker confirmed his two coordinators earlier Saturday: former University of Minnesota offensive coordinator Jay Johnson will run CU’s offense, while former Colorado State defensive coordinator Tyson Summers will run the defense.
