  Guess he wasn't good enough to stay. Downfall from the Leach firing.

  bwahahahaha that is hilarious. wtf are those clowns at TT doing.
  
  Edit: Forgot Tubby took over. Still I would think keeping someone who is familer with the Big 12 offenses would be smart.
• georgemc80

  He didn't deserve the head job, because he had to be a river boat gambler to beat an undermanned less than average MSU team.
  
  He probably couldve stayed, but Tuberville can bring in his own guy now.
• Elliot Stabler

  This is bullshit.....the man should have been the head coach
• ytownfootball

  

  ^^^^Why? Because he won a bowl game over Michigan State missing 14 players?^^^^
• Elliot Stabler

  I really hope Tommy Tuberville goes 0-12 next year
• soupcity99

  I thought the job went to the assistant from Troy?
• jordo212000

  

  Can't really blame Tuberville for wanting to get his own guy in there. That's pretty common for new head coaches to do.
  
  Hiring interim head coaches who win bowl games mostly on emotion (and you also have to remember Mich St was undermanned) is usually never a good strategy. Bill Stewart?
• Elliot Stabler

  He said he wouldn't fire any of the staff before the first yearwhen he got the job...
  
  So really he is in breach of contract
• ytownfootball

  

  Yeah...those verbal contracts are pretty enforcable and binding. :rolleyes:
  
  What new coach hasn't hired their own staff?
• Elliot Stabler

  It was put into his contract.
• ytownfootball

  

  He hasn't even signed the damn thing.

  Tubby really missed the boat. His calling is in Knoxville.
• Elliot Stabler

  He said flat out that he would not fire any of the staff.
  
  Therefor...he's a fucking liar

  I would be.
  
  You know there is a poster on here calling him a "fucking liar" but obviously his word is pretty golden as he hasn't even signed a contract in Lubbock but is still assembling a staff and so on. I'd call that a man of his word. Just about any other coach in his exact position with his resume would be sending hookers and blow to the UT AD trying to get that job.
• Elliot Stabler

  Nice jab there fuckhead
  
  It really hurt

  So you have time to call me a "fuckhead" but no time to back up your claim?
• ytownfootball

  

  I suppose it must suck being owned on a regular basis.

  One of Tuberville’s first orders of business was to meet with Leach’s staff, none of whom had any assurance of retaining their jobs. The A-J learned late Saturday that the assistants weren’t immediately told who, if any, among them would be retained.
