December 8, 201213 yr It's about consistency. Yes they get quality coaches to pick up where they left off but to continue building the program and ultimately build a brand I think you need someone that will be here for more than 3 years. It's good right now but in the long run it isn't great. I'm not upset at the current state there in because UC is relevant but the turnover for coaching here hurts the fan base, IMO. It's hard for some convenient fans to become committed fans when there is a new coach every 3rd year. Brian Kelly was getting fan support and bounced butch came in and had a bad first year in some eyes and that hurt attendance. I'm not saying I agree with the logic of the fans because you get behind the team not the coach but fans don't like the uncertainty. I guess the question is: Would you rather be a coaching birth place like UC or a coaching graveyard like UK?
December 8, 201213 yr Texas Tech to UC? What was going on that he wanted out of Lubbock so bad? Bruce Feldman @BFeldmanCBS Tommy Tuberville had been trying to get out of Tech almost as soon as he'd arrived. Tried for Miami job when Al Golden got it. Here this several time over the last few years.
December 8, 201213 yr Did Tubbs not get any looks from any SEC schools? Could Petrino follow as OC? Yeah, and Dick LeBeau as DC.
December 8, 201213 yr After seeing some posts on twitter I don't think this effects Neal Brown's decision at all
December 8, 201213 yr Are you saying the UC fansbase is made up of bandwagon fans? I guess you have to start somewhere. lol. I guess the question is: Would you rather be a coaching birth place like UC or a coaching graveyard like UK? That's a no brainer but I would still like to see someone who wants to stay and turn it into something more.
December 8, 201213 yr Yeah, and Dick LeBeau as DC. If he doesn't land Arkansas St. I could see it happening.
December 8, 201213 yr I could have listed 20 guys I thought would be a guy UC could get for this job. Tuberville wouldn't have been on the list. A definite huge get for Whit. I'd say something is close to being finalized as far as a conference move then.
December 8, 201213 yr Did Tubbs not get any looks from any SEC schools? Could Petrino follow as OC? Hearing Petrino as OC is a very realistic possibility...
December 8, 201213 yr Hearing Petrino as OC is a very realistic possibility... That would be entertaining if nothing else.
December 8, 201213 yr Hearing Petrino as OC is a very realistic possibility... Really? That would be a coup.
December 8, 201213 yr If UC can continually get quality coaches as replacements, who cares how long they stay? Great point. 8, 9, 10 wins are just that.
