OT - Tommy Tuberville New Bearcat Head Coach

[uconnflyer88]

On November 10, 2012, during a game against the Kansas Jayhawks, Tuberville became involved in a dispute with graduate assistant Kevin Oliver. Tuberville hit him, and knocked off both Oliver's hat and his headset

yeah....no thanks

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

Both USF and Cincy have upgraded their football coaches. Meanwhile, WM is sitting on his big butt eating donuts and monitoring. Our coaching staff sucks and he is doing nothing about it. This really blows.

Oh please. We might as well rebuild Memorial with this thought process.

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.

So you're good with the staff? I know you already intimated that you were good with Whitmer getting pounded.

 

[uconnsouth]

Wow...huge hire for Cincy. They realize It's about rounding up support at this critical point of realignment

 

[Skiblets]

I worked on a project in Lubbock. It is a dead end in West Texas. And there's all sorts of problems in the Athletic Department from the departure of Leach to the drinking problems with the hoops coach to the Tuberville smack upside the head of his assistant.

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?

Exactly, the minute you realize the guy you have isn't 'The Guy,' you start looking around. Once you find him, you make your move. The rest is just lost time. Either WM thinks PP is 'The Guy' or he can't find one. Neither is a very encouraging thought.

Makes me sick to my stomach. Wish I drank!

Warde monitors everything while doing nothing.

Really dude... go back and show me where i said that I "intimated I was good with Whitmer getting pounded". I pointed out if you want to make an issue and blame someone - blame the medical/training staff for clearing him to play - not the coach for playing him. Different thread - different argument.

Huskymedic your undying support of pasqualoni has me baffled...you do realize that we suck under him right?

Why does it bother you?

 

[fortebleedsblue]

Why does it bother you?

I'm just trying to understand it.

 

[Hoophound]

Susan and Warde need to powwow and talk about the positives and negatives of bringing in Bobby Petrino. Nothing says "we want to win" like hiring a brilliant yet seedy type.

 

[huskymedic]

I'm just trying to understand it.

I get that this a message board and all opinions are welcome but there also need for some check and balance. Because one does not blindly accept a statement as fact and challenges it doesn't always mean that there is undying support. It's easy to blame everything on the coach, the athletic director, the president of the school but sometimes there is just another point of view.

PP has not done the job I thought he could do for a variety of reason - not all his fault.

Bobby Petrino has zero shot of becoming a coach here, or any other D 1 school, at least for the next couple of years. You do understand what he did, right? No administration is going to want to go near him.

Yes, but I don't care anymore. We are going to suck next year and Cincy just hired Tuberville and may get Petrino as OC. Shoot me.

I am willing to look the other on Tuberville for slapping the assistant. But you cannot hire Bobby Petrino under any circumstances.

It's not all his fault. But you can't fire the players. P has been a disaster. This is not like the Kansas teams inherited by Gill where they were overmatched in talent. It is hard to go 5-7 two years in a row when you're never outmanned in any game. Tough to be that bad.

I won't blame anyone if the "sexy" names passionate fans want to see as a coach never materializes.

The program has to sell itself......UConn BB does......what aspiring coach wouldn't want that job......probably all well recognized names. If it ends up being KO, it means he deserved it, and that's fine for me.

UConn FB is another issue. It can't sell itself based on the last ten year history. It was mediocre under RE during his reign, (0.500 +), last 10 % under PP. Not very alluring to big name coaches. I don't think if they were asked today......Tuberville or Marino.......if they'd give UConn a sniff.

Yes......I'd like a "sexy" name coach also, but who knows whether or not WM had feelers out before he announce PP is back for another year. Maybe everyone he identified "wasn't interested".

I'm just saying UConn FB is a tough sell to "the well established".......might be easier to sell the Brooklyn Bridge.

 

[uconnflyer88]

I'm really surprised that no one has brought up the obvious corelation between HCPP and Tuberville

Both are older coaches.

Both had a good run with one school and left their respective school on the decline.

Both have had multiple jobs since and haven't really done anything with them (although you can give the upper hand to HCPP in this instance since he was successful position coach in the NFL).

I understand from what I've read that Tuberville is a good recruiter, but so was Pasqualoni at Syracuse and we've seen a slight uptick since he has been here.

I just smile because everyone hates on HCPP for being old, but as soon as you heard of this hire we destroy the administration for standing idley by, when just last week everyone was calling for WM to get a "hip, young coach" to invigorate the program

Is it me or are we constantly hoping that what we think is happening isn't really what's happening?

Tubberville might bomb, but he's a big get for a school like Cincy and is generating lots of excitement with their fans. Was anyone thrilled about getting PP?

That's a stretch.

Pasqualoni ended his time at Syracuse with 3 down seasons. Tuberville had one bad season.

And while you can argue that being a position coach in the NFL is more prestigious than being the head coach at Texas Tech, it definitely doesn't prepare you for another college head coaching job as well. Tuberville has been out there recruiting and running the show the last 3 years. That's much different than coaching the defensive line.
