December 13, 201213 yr Interesting that nothing has come out to dispute the claim. I would expect that someone would say something, particularly the assistant coaches there. Tuberville himself disputed the claim. There have been assistants dispute the claim, but not on the record yet. They are busy looking to secure new jobs at the moment. Remember you are taking to word of one recruit and the Texas Tech site he told the story to as gospel...
December 13, 201213 yr Let's be real about this situation. UC didn't speak to Tuberville until Saturday morning. That alone doesn't fit the sensationalism at hand. If they did, it would have been shortly after Butch Jones bolted for UT and not 15 hours later, right? If Tuberville didn't show up at all to the recruiting dinner, you have a legit story. For him to eat dinner and leave early is something head coaches do in football at every big recruiting weekend from coast to coast. That is the reality of the situation...
December 13, 201213 yr Nope... I read that the criminal case did not involve Tom T but it said he "could" still be sued in a civil suit. Are you saying there hasn't been a civil suit yet or are you saying there was but he wasn't named?

December 13, 201213 yr Haven't heard of a civil suit in that case. Could be one eventually I suppose... My guess is there will be a suit at some point. Sadly, this isn't the only case of fraud involving college coaches. Ask BCG about it. He got burned TWICE.

I didn't see your post about him not talking to UC until the next day until after I posted. Hypothetically though if he got a text from his agent during dinner that an agreement had been reached with UC wouldn't the prudent thing to do be to excuse himself and leave?

It would be if that was the case. From what I have been told from multiple sources that wasn't how it went down Friday night though...
December 13, 201213 yr Tommy should be praised for leaving them at a steak joint, the last coach left them in a shed. What seems shady to me is that this comes out not even a week after he leaves. A little smear campaign going on to make themselves feel better.

A little smear campaign going on to make themselves feel better. Maybe it is this kind of TTU attitude that caused him to leave in the first place.
December 13, 201213 yr I read that Coach Tommy said "They're all about the same" when asked if UC is a better gig than TT.
December 13, 201213 yr Article detailing Tommy T's convo with Dan Patrick today. Tuberville faces firing squad of questions from Dan Patrick His comments are exactly why you don't tell a school when you get the job that you're never leaving and say "They'll have to carry me out of here in a pine box" like he did when got the Tech gig.

December 13, 201213 yr He said that over a decade ago before he left Ole Miss for Auburn... Oops. Doesn't change the silliness of coach speak.
December 13, 201213 yr Maybe it is this kind of TTU attitude that caused him to leave in the first place. It was a recruit, not anyone from TT. As far as I know the other recruits and coaches there have not said anything publicly confirming or denying it took place.
