The Mel Tucker era is underway at Michigan State and he is currently looking to fill his coaching staff with prime talent from around the country. According to a report from Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio, Tucker reached out to Kentucky’s Vince Marrow to become the lead recruiter for Tucker’s administration. Today, Jones provided an update, declaring that Marrow turned down Tucker’s offer.
This comes after reports indicated that Tucker and MSU had made a large counteroffer to the associate head coach and tight ends coach from Kentucky, which he has reportedly rejected.
Here is Matt Jones initial reaction and announcement of Marrow’s decision:
It was reported earlier in the week that Tucker will not be retaining any of Dantonio’s staff, but he will need to start moving quickly to fill his staff openings to get everything in order for the season.
We will keep updating this story as more details emerge.
