Happy to see USA Today picked the story up too!
Tommy Tuberville left recruits at dinner to take Cincinnati job

Shoot, I would guess even CPR answers that question without a definite yes or no.
Eh, they obviously weren't good recruits if he didn't try to take them to Cincy with him. Hard to feel bad for them.Quote:

If you remember, I think an SEC guy was on this board when Tech hired him that said we'd all learn to hate him and his antics.
I didn't read through the whole thread, so please excuse if the issue with his wife's (or is it ex-wife) car accident has been discussed.
Could there be bigger issues the Tubberville's are dealing with since the accident, where she was charged with running a red light and hitting another car, with one of the passengers - an elderly man, died three months later?
Maybe they need to get out of town.
You mean Tubs wife wanted to leave Lubbock? As far as killing people goes; Kelly killed that kid in South Bend and nothing happened...Quote:

She was definitely charged with the traffic violation, but I don't believe she was charged when the victim died a couple months later. I just think it would be very uncomfortable and possibly a contributing reason to move.Quote:

Closest thing I can think of for Kelly would be the student who died taping practice when the scissor lift collapsed in the wind, or however that went.Quote:

He put a student up on a hydraulic lift in 30 mph winds because he needed practice to be videotaped. The lift fell over, and the student died.Quote:

Practice continued while trainers attended to the dying grad student.
ND student said winds 'terrifying' before death - Notre Dame Central- NBC Sports
Who ******* cares. Tubberville is an obvious Dbag. He won't do **** at Cincy acting this way **** him!!!
Well you don't make it to the national title game by stopping practice for minor issues. I'd say Kelly knew what he was doing.Quote:

So what charges do you all feel should be leveled on Kelly - some kind of manslaughter-related?
Getting back to Tubby's wife - she was definitely charged & convicted with running a red light and crashed her car into an elderly couple. a couple months later one of the passengers died.
