I was wondering if they'd consider Petrino.

That makes no sense. Wonder what Tubbs is thinking on this one.

Is that even a lateral move?

From Texas Tech (meh) to Cincinnati (meh)?
From Big XII to Big East?

My only guess is he wanted back East somewhere. Certainly not a step up.....Actually a step down considering the conference.

It kind of evens out a little since Cincy went to a BCS bowl a few years ago but I still think Tech is a better job because of the state it's in and the conference. Maybe he got tired competing with Texas, A&M, TCU, and Baylor for recruits. That's the only thing I can think of.

Or he wanted to get back east like you said.

Petrino would be a great fit there

It would also be that he is being told Cincy will get an invite to the ACC or big 12 or something in the near future.

Forgot he went there. I think they would consider Petrino and Kingsbury. Tech doesn't really mind taking chances on controversial coaches and they like high powered offenses... will be interesting to see what they do.

He was desperate to get out of Lubbock.

He had reached out to Kentucky when our HC job was open, but they were headed in a different direction.
