Jack, great job by Whit Babcock. Tubberville wouldn't take this job if he thought we would bre stuck in a dead conference like BE. This hire speaks volumes.

 

[Bearcat22]

ESPN confirming he's the new coach. Didn't see this one coming. Love his SEC roots.

This is unreal!!! There are also reports that Bobby Petrino may join him as OC if he doesn't get a head coaching offer. What a move by Whit, how did he pull this off??

I agree and his hire might lend support to the tweet below (it's also in the Nipper rennovation thread)

Sounds like significant announcement about Nippert renovation will come in a few days. Babcock says it will be a "celebration".

Been waiting for this proactive attitude at UC concerning football for years. No way with the High school programs we have in our city we shouldn't be a very good college football town. Mr. Babcock is getting serious. See ya Butch and wouldn't want to be a UT fan.

Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville will be introduced as Cincinnati's coach at 6:30 press conference. Wow

Now here is a committment. They have hired a proven coach and will be announcing renovations to Nippert shortly. Now the fans need to sell the place out. If you want relevent College Football in Clifton go buy a Freaking Ticket.

UC job underrated; lot of recruiting talent in your backyard, BCS bowls attainable in the Big East


I'm not sure how much longer we'll be in the Big East

Great hire! I am a big Tommy fan and am honestly speechless. He will not look for a bigger job and he is a proven coach in the best league. Love it!!!

Where the hell did this come from? Out of left field! I love it.

He obviously wants to be here. Wasn't like he was being forced out of TT. Whit is serious about elevating the Football program. Can't be anything but good for our Team.

Great hire. This may speak more about Whit Babcock than Tuberville. The ability to be prepared since August is impressive.

I'd like to know why Tuberville chose UC over Tech? A happy headscratcher.

In discussing with some of my UC friends who are more into football than I am, and some of them in the know.........supposedly a Nippert upgrade is going to be announced soon. Also, this hire sends a message to potential conferences that UC can jump to, that UC is serious about football.

This may be the first announcement of several to come, such as Nippert upgrade and conference affiliation.
