the reason i'm waiting until Thursday is because there is too much clutter right now and by then the flames will have died down.

Also, Bohn seems to be very connected and responsive through email, unlike Twitter.

Mr. Bohn,

I understand the difficult situation that yourself and coach Tuberville find yourselves in. Nobody wants to make the tough decision and most fans like coach Tuberville on a personal level. However, I am speaking for the majority of fans who have lost confidence in coach Tuberville's ability to lead the program with dignity, fight, and honor.

What we have seen in his four-year tenure is a trend towards apathy, disappointment, and the expectation of a lack of effort on the field from the fan base. This is the same fan base who very recently expected to content for conference championships, high-profile bowl games, and national rankings every year. Playing the Bearcats used to mean you were in for a fight to the finish. Now, it seems teams are in for a fight for the first half.

I don't believe Tuberville is capable of achieving those heights any longer. I believe that his conduct and lack of passion for winning has resulted in the loss of support from the players, fans, donors, and community as a whole. In fact, it seems the only entity in Cincinnati who defends him publically, is you.

I respect your opinion as the leader of the athletics department, but I also see the PR damage that is being done to the university through national news and sports outlets that paint the picture of a university who stands by the passion-less on field performance of coach Tuberville and the embarassing off-field conduct.

I will continue to support the program of my alma mater that i love so dearly, but felt it very necessary to voice the frustration of myself and others who see other programs being led by passionate, young talented coaches, while our Bearcats are being treated as a minor-league stress-free side job. Whether this is fair or unfair, the truth is the on-field results speak for themselves, and our university deserves better.

Thank you for reading my note. I hope that you will address these concerns tomorrow as you can expect many others to voice the same sentiments that I have.

Your bias shows through. One time you call him Tuberville and another time you call him coach Tuberville with a little c. I cannot blame you, He doesn't deserve the respect.

One of the interns will choose from one of 10 form responses they have in the library tanking you for your continued passion and interest and to Go Bearcats!

We can't afford free interns...

And if I get boiler-plated, so be it.

At least someone opened it and read (skimmed) it.

You should add the OC, because he is an idiot.

Here's mine:

Bohn,

A UC Haiku especially for you:


Grandpa is a clown
Old and comfused, fire him
Program in shambles
