Interesting Cincy Rumor

[zls44]

Breaking: I have learned that Tommy Tuberville has accepted the head coaching job at Cincinnati. CoachingSearch.com

 

[Adios]

I was hoping they hired Pasqualoni.

 

[huskysupporter]

After success the last 3 years of hiring up and coming head coaches, they sign Tubberville? Odd.

6:30 press conference.

That is an amazing hire. It's a hire that shows you are willing to be a major player. Is a great piece of PR for the school, and an upgrade at the position to boot.

Brilliant.

And yet another school that will leapfrog UConn in the next wave of conference realignment. This time, the criteria will be "who has the better coach?". It is so incredibly frustrating to sit and watch the lack of vision that our athletic departments continually display. To think that we could have fired Pasqualoni and hired somebody like Tuberville makes me want to pound my head against the wall. At least I can find some solace knowing that our high school coaches support Pasqualoni.

Got to match and bring in Petrino

Maybe Cincy's AD really likes those stupid Toyota commercials.

If I'm Aresco I call WM right now and tell him to fire PP and hire Petrino. Imagine Tubberville and Petrino in the league.

That gives them stability. And someone with Big 12 connections.

 

[UConn4ever]

And we're still stuck with Pasqualoni

 

[Dann]

u warde!

That would make me vomit.

Don't worry, Pasqualoni's Big East connections are serving us so well in this cornhole of a conference. We've got 5-7 down pat!

5-7 next year will not be easy.

mich, md and lville are going to take us to the shed for starters. then find 5 wins of the 9 games left.

Another 5-7 season and he's gone.

 

[tduconn]

Maryland, Michigan, Louisville, Rutgers, Cincinatti, Central Florida.......that's 6-L's already.........UNLESS.......never mind, just dreaming

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Rumor has it if Petrino does not get a HC job soon, he will be the OC at Cincy under Tuberville. That's just great.

WM - can you be any more blind? Everyone is upgrading except us. We are stuck with PP and GDL.

 

[uconnsouth]

With all the budgets, don't see any way we get rid of anyone

That would make me vomit.

Yea winning games makes me sick too.

If this happened five days ago, Dykes would have jumped to Tech in a heartbeat.

I think that Bobby Petrino is an exceptional football coach. The question is whether or not the University of Connecticut is willing to stomach the hiring of a person who was known to be cheating on his wife with a student whom he helped hire to the position of student-athlete coordinating director without disclosing his relationship. Just not sure it would ever happen.

HOWEVER, maybe the best way for it to happen is for him to spend a year as a coordinator for Tuberville at Cincy, prove that he isn't a "P.R. threat" to the university, and then hire him here (assuming the Big East doesn't have some weird rule about hiring another assistant coach to a fellow member team). In the end, this might be the only way that he lands in the land of steady habits...

Nobody is hiring Petrino for a while. Mike Slive, the SEC commissioner, has put a personal "show cause" clause in effect verbally for the SEC. He put it bluntly that any SEC school hiring Petrino becomes his personal whipping boy.

As we've already discussed on this board, no one is taking a chance on him for a while because what he did at Arkansas (illegal hiring practices and lying to the AD and university president) gets AD's and president's fired. Doesn't help that he did this after what happened at Ohio St. and Penn St.

He's persona non grata. And no one in the NFL is hiring him after the crap he pulled at Atlanta.

Let's talk about his last two jobs: He quit on a NFL team and didn't have the decency to tell the men who sweated and bled for him face-to-face like a man.....i see to remember another guy around here being vilified for a similar move. Then he loses job number two after his affair with a kid becomes public because of the cover-up of a lie he told. Yeah, that's the man i want shaping the future of Uconn's program

I am no moralist, but he lacks any hint of honor. There is a little saying "when a person shows you who they are, believe them."

He isn't the only coach who knows how to win and recruit.
