Tommy Tuberville is resigning at Cincinnati today. I wonder if he'd be interested in this job. He's obviously got a ton of experience and he did coach at Miami, although that was in the 90s. Probably a long shot, but I'd look into it.Posted On: Dec 4th 2016, 11:37 AM #363442
I hope not. My son is a big Cincy Bearcats fan and says he thinks Tuberville is kind of a jerk with the fans. He liked him when he first went there because he had a name, but he very quickly changed his mind. He is very happy today he is leaving. He said he likes to go for it on 4th when you shouldn't be going for it, and has game clock management issues.
My bigger concern is will Cincy throw a wrench into our search and steal someone we want. If we have a target, let's lock it in.

Cincy has a much bigger budget than FAU. Not likely that we are targeting the same coaches just for that reason. I doubt Cincy is looking for coaches with a price tag of less than $1million per year. They are probably in the $2million plus range.
GO OWLS!!!

But the experience was at a non-scholarship FCS conference and now a division II school. Not like hiring from a power program in the FCS.Posted On: Dec 3rd 2016, 10:32 PM #363435
You mean like Joe Moglia from Coastal Carolina?

He wasn't on our radar but man, I sure hope we have our guy locked up in the next 2/3 days, we're lagging.
I was thinking this over the weekend as well, that La Tech v WKU game was a little too much for even me to handle. Does no one play defense in our league? it was like a flag football game out there.
I'd love a guy to come in here and turn us into an ears pinned back, mean as hell defensive squad. yeah it's great if we can put up points but I'd enjoy even more beating the daylights out of a team that's used to scoring 50.

I would be okay with a HC from a program like that. Still not my preference.

I hate watching bad D it's why I always want defensive minded coach who is actually good.
Coaches who can run a spread an put up 30 a game are a dim a dozen in 2016

Why do coaches go on record stating something is a rumor, then turn around and do that very thing!
LOL

Just like tom herman… "What do you tell the fans, the players about your Hire at Texas" … TH: "There's nothing to talk about, it's all a rumor, now we have to focus on the game".
Also, is it Breaking News that a TH got hired by Texas after sports outlet (ESPN) spent 2 weeks covering "the speculation" lol

Spread coaches who put up 30 a game ARE a dime dozen BUT
WKU didnt put up 30 a game they put up 45-60 points a game against everyone in the C-USA.
I had someone on this board say "no thanks" to Tony Levine who was Co-OC at WKU plus he had two winning seasons as head coach of Houston. He was canned despite winning 8 and 7 games as a head coach at the AAC level.
I know Houston has much higher expectations than a head coach of FAU.
Tony Levine is one of the likely contenders for the WKU head coaching job, along with Troy head coach Neal Brown who got Troy their first ever top 25 ranking.
We could do a lot worse than getting the runner up between those two.
