Tommy Tuberville to UC?

[david aka the TYZ]

Let's be realistic about who Tommy Tuberville is. He is a name coach who's chance to make a name for himself is behind him. He coached and succeeded at the highest level. He is 58 years old. From what I understand his wife has family here. Not sure how close or if she was ever from this area. He wasn't completely happy at Texas Tech. He and Whit have a history. There's a good chance he made this move because he wants to plant roots somewhere where the pressure isn't huge and his family is comfortable. The likelihood a big program comes calling again is probably small, especially compared to a young up-and-coming coach that we've hired the last three stints.

With that said, he is a proven coach, should be able to recruit at a higher level and gives the program a face. He's as close to stability as possible in a mid-major football school. He's not a rah-rah guy like our last two. That is the one thing I'll miss, but as long as he gets the most out of his team, I'll be happy.
