Breaking: FootballScoop has learned that Tommy Tuberville will be the next head coach at Cincinnati

 

[ochocinco]

didnt see that one coming at all

 

[bleedorange1983]

Lateral move at best

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Whoah

 

[LexingtonVol]

wow

 

[DieHardVOL]

Good move by them, he will do really good there imo. He might be done with trying to get back to the SEC. Cincy may actually have their long term coach.

 

[Jaytrain5]

So Cincy ends up with a better coach than Tennessee after all this?

Nice.

Tommy Tuberville will replace CBJ as reported by @Footballscoop

 

[Bjorn_Yesterday]

Weird if true. Guess he needed a fresh start after the slap-fight.

Both of these tweets from Football Scoop


"Cincinnati is looking to make the move into the ACC and Tubs helps that! "

"Cinci AD Whit Babcock and Tubs have been close since Tubs was hired back at Auburn. Huge move for Whit! "

 

[McCat]

Odd.

Bobby Petrino is working on a head coaching opportunity for himself; but if that doesn't happen, he could wind up w Tubs as OC!

 

[Red Forman]

If true, it sounds like Cincinnati got tired of being a stepping stone. No one will hire Tubs away.

Nope.

No Cincy ends up with someone with a huge downside and his upside is well known. He is a solid coach, but Coach Jones hasnt even started to approach his ceiling where Tubbs has been living it for about 6 years now.

This isnt serious is it? There's one born every day and todays graces his presence on VN. Awesome!

Apparently Petrino may join him.

That seems like a lateral move at best, more likely a step down.

Must've been sick of living in Lubbock.

Saw that. Would be sick. Looks like UC wants the ACC.

 

[give_him 6]

Have you ever been to Lubbock? Uhhh

 

[cgroce30]

That's Damn Quick!

That's gotta be the quickest hire I have ever seen!
