I'm not a big supporter of Tuberville. If I were the AD, I would be looking tirelessly for a new coach and new coaching. I think when Bob Goin decided to remove Rick Minter and hire Dantonio, UC started football in the right direction. At that point, partially due to Minter's over 90 assistants in 10 years, Dantonio insisted that UC pay it's assistant coaches and keep them in the fold while he was coaching. UC did that and had success. Dantonio has recruited heavily in Cincinnati and Ohio spending alot of time in town, in Dayton, Cleveland and Toledo. He made huge strides in those communities and came away with great players. Tuberville spends too much time in Florida. My problems with Tuberville are as follows:

1.too many players getting in trouble. Remember the rash of problems we had a couple of years ago? That was awful and should never happen.

2.recruits too many JC players. Way to many for me. Anyone notice the recruits we are getting are most JC players. I think it's one reason Larkin decided on Northwestern. He sees UC sliding.

3.Too much recruiting in Florida. Tuberville is basically ignoring Ohio and Cincinnati. When I spoke to Steve Spect the St X coach at a UC game, he stated he welcomed UC to recruit his players, but UC's staff does not show at ANY of his practices and recruits nearly no one. That's ridiculous.

4. bowl performance is awful. Tuberville takes the bowl game to be a coaching holiday. At the Military bowl, we played with a third string QB. I can't imagine paying 3-4 thousand on tickets, food, transportation to that game only to have the coaching staff treat it like a holiday. That's why I don't go to bowl games anymore. Tuberville does not care if we win or loose. We've been trounced each year at bowl games during his tenure.

5. Tuberville wants too much money. Now he wants an extension. Are you kidding?

6. Tuberville has a loose style of coaching allowing for assistants to do much of the game planning and coaching. If that is going to be the case, he needs the money and needs to hire top flight assistants. Handing over the reigns of the defensive coordinator the job to a man already a assistant coach on the team tells me there is no money for assistant coaches or coordinators.
