My concern if I was UCF would be how long he intends to ride that ship. If he's out to prove he's a great coach again specifically for the purpose of getting a new job, you'll have a new coach in 2 years. But if he plans to stay long term, things get far more interesting.

He's a talented coach though. The dude managed to beat Nick Saban 3 times in 8 years for heavens sake. Not many can claim that.

Except Tommy Tuberville; & I've never been a fan of his at all.

Under Tuberville, Auburn had a winning record against its biggest rival, Alabama (7–3), and was tied with its next two most significant rivals, Georgia (5–5) and LSU (5–5). He led Auburn to six straight victories over in-state rival Alabama, the longest win streak in this rivalry since 1982, the year Auburn broke Alabama's nine-year winning streak.

Tuberville also established himself as one of the best big-game coaches in college football, winning nine of his last 15 games against top-10 opponents since the start of the 2004 season. In 2006, his Tigers beat two top-5 teams who later played in BCS bowls, including eventual BCS Champion Florida. Tuberville had a 5–2 career record versus top-5 teams, including three wins versus Florida
.

Tuberville and Saban only faced each other twice in the Iron Bowl game. They split the two games. Tuberville’s wins over Alabama came against Franchione and Mike Shula.
