The dismal regien of CTT started when he was a spectator at our last bowl win in the Belk Bowl when Brandon Kay lit up the board. CTT was new and watched from the stands. One might wonder if he actually watched the game.

The next spring he addressed the 1200 Club members in the Linder Center and told us how he wanted bigger and faster players. Wow - that sure sounded great. Four years later we know what he wanted did not happen. Any objective observer would say he has failed - failed - as a recruiter - despite how he critized CBJs recruits.

The next fall my memory is that the hero of the Belk Bowl - Brandon Kay - found his butt on the bench because CTT wanted something else. That put Munchie in the game and Kay on the bench. The failures that occurred resulted in boos - not at Munchie - but at the obvious idiocy of walking away from what worked. Why? Who the hell knows - CTT wanted something different that the roster could not produce. Eventually he gave in and the season was saved - except for the bowl game.

Now we have something similar. CTT wants an offense - I still ask someone to tell me what that offense is - that does not include the QB who had lead us to success. Well - what has happened? Utter disaster. Faced with an utter revolt from those who are paying the bills - like with Kay - CTT has returned to Gunner. Sadly his return to reason has not produced the same results as the return to Kay.

What is the new offense? If it is a power run game - only an idiot - like CTT - would recognize an O line is needed. Without recognizing we have a weak O line - the idiot has proceeded with an offense that does not work. I suspect that a running game is necessary without quality recievers - but whose fault is it that we no longer have quality wide outs.

My perspective is that CTT wants what he does not have and rather than work with what he has he drives failure out of a stubborn arrogance to try to have what he wants - without recognizing he does not have what is needed for what he wants.

On the basis of the above - I conclude that stupid arrogance is the indictment of the man who has ruined UC football.

The man has failed. He has failed to recruit and he has FAILED to coach to the reality of what he has - not what he dreams.

The man has failed. His last chance for character is to resign.

I honestly think he didn't pay attention to UC at all and figured coming here he could win 7 or 8 games and go to any bowl and we would all be good. I think his comment about how the program was on a 'slow jog' prior to his arrival speaks volumes about what he actually knew about UC football

he's finding out that 7 or 8 wins and a bowl win isn't going to cut it here

although, the longer this drags on, it may cut it at some point

He won't get fired for 7 or 8 wins and a bowl game. No way.

I just see a guy who is not able to keep pace with the game of modern football and is not able to adapt to his surroundings. He is convinced that winning football is done in one way regardless of what level you play at. You may have been able to pay top-notch, self-sufficient coordinators and assistant coaches very little in the 90's and run things at a very high level and be successful, but that is not the case today with the level of competition that exists. He is convinced that the traditional way will prevail if we keep pushing forward and will not be proven wrong - not by former or current players, not by coaches, and not by angry fans. He is a stubborn and proud southerner who is stuck in his ways, and his pride is doing him in.

It's as simple as that.

Coaching is a lot of work. It just appears that TT is no longer willing to put in the effort or the time to be successful.

It's really that simple. Some guys get into their late 50s to 60's and are passionately driven by their life's work even when financially set for life. It's how they are wired. Some guys decide there are finer things in life than 12 hour days every day.

Tubby fell into the latter group before he got to Texas Tech. It has not gotten better in the 7 years since. Part time coach. Full time money. Not sweating it.

Rath, agree 100%. Thanks for pointing out that not all older people are "retired" and just drawing a paycheck.

He can't believe that....by what metric could you possible use that this is true?!?!?!? Is he THIS delusional?!?!?!?!?!?!?

How stupid does he think we are!?

Umm, yes...apparently so. I think he truly believes what he is saying. I don't think he is a bad person at all, but he is so out of touch and not the person to lead this program any further. He has been here leading this program for 4 years now and it is all on him, he can't blame the recruiting and talent on anyone but himself. The scarier part of that is him saying that the leadership is behind him and I feel they are drinking the Kool-Aid. Ugh.

It's a sickening thought but it's looking more and more likely:

Does UC do drug testing of coaches?

He is either on drugs or needs to be on drugs.

Completely agree, but I want to believe no one can be that misguided. Bohn doesn't seem to be a take charge, tough kind of guy. Maybe he is afraid of TT and TT just runs over him? I think it is SAD when all of the national media and everyone sees what we see and think that Bohn and anyone standing behind TT is a bit off. Hell the Washington post called it Bizarre. CBS commentators are calling him out. What more needs to be said or happen? Maybe Bohn is just doing his thing in the face of the public and media and working behind the scenes, but I haven't seen anything that would suggest that.

Just because TT is saying this it doesn't mean Bohn or anyone else agrees with it. Moreover, it dies nor mean he will be retained.

Well if TT is somehow, incredibly retained... Nobody, I mean NOBODY, who calls themselves a UC Bearcat fan should show up to any of the football games next year. If they do... Just how much of a UC fan are they?

Sounds like you guys are coming around to my Jethro(Bohn) and Jed Clampett(TT) scenario. Where's Mr. Drysdale when we need him!
