Interesting. USF definitely has higher upside as a program, it's in an easier conference, it's already more tuned to his style, and it's obviously in a much nicer place to live.

But it'll be interesting to see if TT can pull off more upsets against OU and UT. He's a big name for that program.

Tuberville's gonna be a great hire, imo.

Why would Tubby go to Texas Tech? I personally think he could do better.

The real truth about Leach's firing will come out now-I'm willing to bet Ruffin mcNeill is going to sing like a canary and TT isn't going to like the lyrics!!!!

I can't believe they went after a defensive minded coach... he won't allow throwing the ball the 50 times a game either. He's going to try to bring SEC football over there and not sure that will work for the type of recruits they can get

They'll get them and with defensive minded Pelini at Nebraska as well as the past two years of Big 12 teams losing to defensive coached SEC teams, the landscape is starting to change there. Back to some old smash-mouth, Big 8 type of football.

Told a TT shell wearing guy at the Sugar Bowl last week, that the TT on it, would be for Tommy Tubberville in the next few weeks..he hadn't heard of the TT interview at the time.

He is a nice catch for that school. They needed a name, TT was desperate, and both needing to move forward from their respective last fiascos.

But, if TT excels, he'll stepping-stone them, like Leach often flirted with behind the scenes.

Perfect fit. He put our offense in a dark closet for his last 3 years.

That said, War Red Raiders! He'll do fine.

Yep, the Big 12 is by far a better conference than the Big East. So why settle for something lesser?!?

Tuberville, 55, became a strong candidate when it was determined he would not insist on hiring his own staff, the source said.



This part I don't understand.

There are a ton of hot bitches in Lubbock too brah.

I think tech fans will love how he acts. Not sure they will love his coaching. I think it's a great hire though.
