OT - Tommy Tuberville New Bearcat Head Coach

[huskymedic]

Speechless...

 

[huskysupporter]

Oof.

Go with what worked. They had hired three coaches that were on the rise. THis one makes no sense to me.

Vehemently disagree.

Vehemently disagree.

Brain fart on my part, don't know who I was thinking of. Excellent hire. Why in the world would he leave Texas Tech?

I bet you were thinking of Tommy Bowden.

I want to pound my head against the wall at the thought that we *might* have had a chance to hire Tuberville had Warde shown a little guts and vision. You want sellouts? Hire Tuberville. UConn has been passed by another school on the conference realignment excitement meter.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I am really surprised at this. TT must have been a bad fit for Tuberville.

Great hire by Cincy.

Tommy Tuberville had been trying to get out of Tech almost as soon as he'd arrived. Tried for Miami job when Al Golden got it.

Go pound but TT is friends w/ Babcock since Auburn days...

 

[Vowelguy]

Wow.

Huge hire by Cinci.

Cincy just said, "Hey ACC and B12, UConn may not be serious about football but we are". Great.

This is exactly right. Plus they can say "we also have access to 60,000 seat Paul Brown Stadium".

You gotta be face-fuckin' me

More proof that we might have gotten a foot in his door! If he was willing to go to Miami...a program under severe NCAA investigation and on the verge of potentially very serious sanctions just to get out of Tech, he might have considered UConn if the money was right! Still pounding...

 

[Dooley]

You gotta be face-****in' me

Speaking of face ...this track chick is hot.

 

[tduconn]

This is BIG time for Cincinnatti!

They are certainly poised to move foward to a power conference.

With their overall W-L record and exciting brand of football under D'Antonio/Keyy/Jones......they would appear to be a shoo-in the next expansion for either Big 12.....ACC.....BIG

There will not be a drop off in talent or conference results

Went to a Cincy newpaper and the rumor is that Bobby Petrino will be Tuberville's OC if he does not get a HC position soon. So what are we waiting for?

Darren Rovell said it best - (paraphrasing) when you make a coaching change, it's not just about having a better chance to win. It is about giving the fanbase a sense of optimism and hope that better days are around the corner. As long as PP and especially GDL are here our fanbase has no hope. If you poll fans of USF, Cincy, Temple and UConn (three of them getting new coaches and one that is not) - which fanbases do you think is most and least excited about next year?

When the Miami job opened up, the NCAA investigation wasn't there yet...

I don't disagree that desperate people do desperate things and we may have been able to get a foot in the door waving a $3m offer.

Exactly right. Our fanbase needs to be energized and if we have to sit on the conference realignment sidelines for the next 1-3 years, the least we can do is bring in a better coach to bring a more competitive and exciting brand of football against our terrible conference. GIVE US SOMETHING for fucks sake.

True. I agree, a competitive offer could have gotten our foot in the door and get this fanbase energized. Then come the sellouts, then comes the positive buzz again about UConn, then comes the new conference.

 

[TRest]

Warde is monitoring the coaching carousel. You just know that he brings Turner Gill in here after next year.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

We've got P. and a pro style offense that is as boring as watching paint dry.

Dooley - I'm becoming more convinced everyday that this fan base will never be happy. - we get 7 pages of arguments and handwringing over a rumor that the school is thinking about tweaking the mascot.
