That happened really quick. Do you think he knew anything about their facilities/boosters/support, or was he he just desperate to get out of Lubbock..

Tubbs has gone ape- shite. I've tried to see it from his point of view all day, did the fans really make it that hard for him to follow Leach?

I have an aunt that lives in Lubbock. Sandstorms on a daily basis. Cold snaps out of the blue...her dog froze to death one day because of one. Nice place to visit...that's it.

Tuberville probably had problems at Texas Tech much like Leach had. After reading Leach's book, I realized his problems at Texas Tech reached much farther than the Craig James & son ordeal.

Has Cinci even built an indoor practice facility yet?

I would guess he was also concerned, he's losing his OC, and perhaps if they had a bad year next year, he might be fired. Going to Cincy guarantees him at least three years....

The Cincy AD worked at Auburn when Tubbs was there.

I think Tubbs was pissed about the heat that was put on him after his 5-7 record last year and knew his leash was short at TT..

Lubbock is a miserable place to be. Cincinnati is a fairly decent metropolitan area. I don't blame him.

It's funny how reports are coming out now that the administration at TT was completely shocked at his announcement.
