Mel Tucker a candidate at Georgia State?

Georgia DC Mel Tucker (former Alabama DB coach) is a candidate for the Georgia State job, person with knowledge tells @USATODAYsports

USA Today's getting sourcey, reporting that Georgia defensive coordinator Mel Tucker is a candidate for the Georgia State head coaching job. The Panthers parted ways with Trent Miles a couple of weeks ago after his squad slogged its way to a 2-8 record to start the season. It makes some sense for Tucker, a well-traveled assistant with NFL coordinator experience and the Saban connection all the kids are so crazy about these days, to get a shot at a program like GSU.
