Who is out there to coach this team in the right direction and will stay? Combs??

I think our program should focus more on who will coach this team in the right direction and less on who will stay. I don't have a problem getting coaches like Kelly. Not only do you get a chance to win big but you also can earn money from their buyout clauses. Until UC is in a major conference we will not get a big time winner that will want to stay. Even then big time coaches at big time programs leave for "better" jobs.

Yes I agree. Young "stepping stone" coaches have risen this conference to new heights. ECU just hired a 37 year old O Coordinator from Duke and Memphis replaced Fuente with a 34 year old O Coordinator from ASU. Until we are P5, I want a coach who is motivated to keep moving up the ranks. If a guy does leave, that just means he did a good job. If we fired Tuberville today, I doubt he'd get even get a G5 offer.

Tommy Tuberville believes his work is not nearly done, and the University of Cincinnati football coach hopes a contract extension is in his near future.

Tuberville has a 25-13 record at UC as he finishes the third year of a five-year contract, making an average of $2.2 million per year.
