Don't really understand this.

Tommy Tuberville is the new head coach at Cincinnati, a Texas Tech.

He will replace Butch Jones, who accepted the head coaching job at Tennessee on Friday. Cincinnati called a 6:30 p.m. ET news conference to introduce Tuberville.

A Texas Tech official said the school was "completely blindsided" by the decision.

Tuberville was 20-17 in three seasons at Texas Tech, going 7-5 this season to reach the Meineke Car Care Bowl vs. Minnesota. The Red Raiders started the season 6-1 but lost four of their final five games.

Damn, that was out of the blue. I guess that it's a good move?

I didn't think it was a big secret that Tuberville hates Lubbock.

Any move that involves Lubbock shrinking in the rear view mirror is a good move.

Tubs might need some help compliments of AU. If he snags Troop and/or Luper-then it's back in the saddle.

Lubbock has a history of hiring a naughty Bobby as a coach, albeit in a different sport

Yeah and they also had a cruel /quirky pirate and an unassuming AD that couldn't keep a headset on.

Of the people I know in my area that are TT Alum-For whatever reason they didn't like him either.

Lubbock is sorta outbackish, and constanly windy, the kind of place (out of place) that gives one comfort when indoors. I can't blame Tubs for getting out. I'm sure there is an Arky or Texas native that will give the Red Raider faithful comfort. But in the grand scheme of things it is but a middle of the road destination... top 40-50 at best.

They aren't used to having a somewhat normal coach. Lubbock is also an armpit.

Tub's is a top 20 coach and nowhere, Texas is beneath him.

I'm hearing that they're looking at Coach Leavitt (49ers LB Coach/former chokeslammin USF Coach).

After having Leach for all those years, they need another eccentric type. Tubs was too normal.

They decided to go with â€The Kingâ€...Kliff Kingsbury, that'll be interesting.

Wow. Not surprising, but not good for aTm.

Not only did Coach Tubs leaving kinda catch the Texas Tech Administration off guard, but he accepted the deal while he was at a dinner with some of the other TTech coaches and a handful of recruits that were on their official visit (they said that he took a call, walked out of the room and never came back before they left). I liked CTT, but doing something like that just isn't decent at all...that's fucking shitty.
