So Mel Tucker was a massive fraud, and assembled a garbage staff. But, you can tell why two schools thought he might be head coach material, and nobody ever thought that about Harlan Barnett. Is it a bad spot? For sure. Is it clear that the coordinators are awful. Yup. But my God is this man in over his head as a HC
As bad a spot as Mel left this program in, I feel like they would have won 1 or 2 out of Iowa, Rutgers, Minnesota with him. Or just an actual head coach, even a bad one.
