Yet interviews with more than a half-dozen sources close to the UW athletic department and/or Tucker reveal he was not retained because he engaged in a coordinated plan to undermine Gard and get himself installed as coach.
Those sources spoke under the condition that they would not be named by the Journal Sentinel.
“It was a plot,” a source familiar with both the program and Tucker said.
According to several sources familiar with the program, Tucker went so far as to tell then-athletic director Barry Alvarez he was prepared to replace Gard and lead the team when the Badgers were struggling in late January during the 2019-20 season.
Alvarez made it clear he did not plan to make such a change; UW won its final eight regular-season games to secure a share of the Big Ten title; and UW officials attributed Tucker’s bold suggestion to inexperience and youth.
They eventually concluded Tucker wanted to advance his own career at the expense of Gard and the program, and the overwhelming feelings of those in the department included disbelief, pain and betrayal.
“Unbelievable,” said a source who is close to Tucker and the athletic department. “Speechless. Mind-blowing. All of those.”

Sources told the Journal Sentinel after the conclusion of the 2020-21 season that rather than work to unify the locker room during a trying season exacerbated by COVID-19 protocols, Tucker instead caused tension. He did so by using his close relationship with the players to coalesce support and power around him.
For example, a team source noted Tucker would tell one player to ignore the coaching points of a fellow assistant in charge of that player’s position group.
“I feel sad for the seniors,” a source said. “That is what I feel sad about because the players are the ones that are affected the most.”

Tucker remained on the search committee and, according to multiple sources, lobbied for UW to hire Northern Illinois athletic director Sean Frazier.
Frazier was hired at UW in 2007, served as Alvarez’s deputy athletic director from 2011-13 and knows Tucker.
Sources told the Journal Sentinel that Tucker hoped that if Frazier was hired as UW’s athletic director, he would remove Gard.
“He truly believed Frazier would fire Greg and hire him,” one source said.
