Stay classy, Tommy Tuberville

Found this on the Boneyard.

Apparently, he abandoned recruits in the middle of dinner in accepting the Cinci gig.

Better to abandon ship than to keep lying to the kids, over a meal, about your intentions. Actually, neither way is actually better than the other. Tough call.

Why not stay at dinner and keep recruiting them for your new school?

That would have been even more inappropriate. Can you imagine the looks on the face of the other coaches if Tuberville had come back to the table and said..."So, have you ever been to Ohio?"

He's a douche for sure, but hold on a minute... Is anyone else baffled that he left a TT for Cincy? Cincy might be playing the in the MAC in 2014.

You wouldn't be baffled if you'd ever been to Lubbock.

He's going to be at Cicny as long as Lane Kiffin was at Tennessee.

Haha not what I meant, but well played.

How conferenceless Cincy is a better fit than Big 12 TT is baffling.

Regardless, the guy is an asshat for doing that to recruits.

In his exact situation many on this board would do exactly the same!

Maybe, but don't you come back to the table and say "guys this is gonna sound crazy but I want to be honest I may be leaving". Or something like that

You are probably right however these kids should be able to transfer without penalty as well.

Classy, classy individual. Far better than Petrino's letters at the locker or the mass text but Todd Graham.
