Reports have been confirmed that Tommy T has stepped down as Head Coach at UC. No surprise.

Well cant wait for UC to hire a high school coach now.

Dale Mueller would do no worse.

Dale Mueller would do no worse.

 

and would handle himself MUCH better!

Certainly can recruit better.

and would handle himself MUCH better!

 

Well thats debatable.

There likely was a settlement on his contract as part of the resignation. Good move by all involved.

 

Does UC head back up to Michigan again for their next coach and go after the Western Michigan coach? Dantonio, Kelly and Jones all coached in Michigan before UC.

Awesome news!

Bye Felicia

Go after Elder at EKU or maybe the WKU OC or DC.

UC's athletic director said that they will take their time finding a good fit and that the search is wide open.

 

I don't know if they'll have enough to go get Fleck from WMU. Candle from Toledo has only been there 1 year, don't know if they take a chance there. Kerry Combs is a heck of a recruiter, but I don't think he wants to leave Ohio State. Charlie Strong loved recruiting in Cincinnati when he was at Louisville. Brown won't leave WKU for UC.

 

When the dust settles, I wouldn't be surprised if Bo Pelini is the next head coach

Go after Elder at EKU or maybe the WKU OC or DC.

 

Not sure on Elder he a terrible season at Eastern they were 3-8 and only 1-6 in the OVC.

Tuberville was a bad fit from the start. UC needs to take its time and find the "right" coach that fits. Younger upstart coach who wants to be here and engages both Ohio and Ky from a recruiting aspect.

Forget about likes of Fleck and Brohm as this would be a step backwards for both. There is very little that is attractive about the UC job other than above average facilities. Not getting in the Big 12 or ACC has hurt the program immensely.

Fit and the DESIRE to want to be here long term is what they should be looking for. Just my opinion.

Tommy T wanted to be here long term and was a good fit............until they got left out of the Power Conference shuffle. Good luck recruiting the Midwest and South to the next coach.

The job is still very much a step up from any job in the MAC or CUSA. At worst the salary is double and the assistant pool is vastly larger as well. You get the Purdue job and get fired in 3 years from the MAC and CUSA. Win at Cincinnati and in the AAC and you are in contention for legit P5 jobs that aren't coaching graveyards. To think otherwise is to have a very poor grasp of how the coaching ladder works...
