Coaching Changes/Injuries/Players leaving for bowls etc.

you don't think kirby would have gone to vols bro?

No I do not. Alabama despises UT. The only reason he would take that job is if he didn't think he would ever get another shot at a head coaching job. That's not the case. Moot anyway. He was never offered.

Not sure Tenn's boosters could stomach hiring another Saban guy with a lack of head coaching experience either

Go listen to Jimmy Buffett's song titled, "Who's The Blonde Stranger"

From Tigerillustrated.com:
Larry has just confirmed that Chad Morris is indeed interviewing with Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt today. The interview is expected to begin over the next hour.
We've also confirmed that both Morris and Hocutt have now met this afternoon.
We do not have a time frame on when Texas Tech will finalize its coaching search. We may also not have any details following this afternoon's interview. But we can confirm that it is about to get underway.

(USA Today Sports Images)Tommy Tuberville's sudden departure from Texas Tech to Cincinnati surprised just about everyone, but it must have really surprised the Texas Tech recruits that were out to dinner with the coach when Tuberville simply left.
At least that's the story told by a recruit to TexasTech.247sports.com.
Devonte Danzey, an offensive lineman from Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College, said he and at least two other recruits were out with a large group of Red Raiders coaches including Tuberville at dinner on his official visit.
[Video analysis: Can Western Kentucky trust Bobby Petrino?]
Danzey said he asked the coaches how long they expected to be at Texas Tech, and Tuberville kind of danced around the question. That didn't seem too odd to Danzey, but it got weird when the coach was suddenly gone from the restaurant.
"The waitress brought our food out, and we thought [Tuberville] went to the bathroom, but he never came back to dinner," Danzey told the website. "Then next thing I know, the next day, he made an announcement that he's going to Cincinnati."
A Texas Tech spokesman confirmed to the site that the coaches took the players to dinner that night, but he had not heard of any incident there.
Danzey said that when the recruits showed up the next day for their tour of the campus, Tuberville wasn't there, and offensive line coach Chris Thomsen -- Texas Tech's new interim coach -- told the group Tuberville had taken the job at Cincinnati.
There's always some weird happenings during the coaching carousel season, but if this one is true, it's one of the most stupefying ones we've heard.

According to multiple reports, it is looking like Kliff Kingsbury will be named Texas Tech’s 15th head coach in the very near future.


The most direct report comes from ESPN.com’s Joe Schad who tweeted out, “Kliff Kingbury has emerged as the strong leading candidate at Texas Tech according to multiple sources”


Meanwhile RedRaiderSports.com’s Chris Level tweeted out, “It looks like most of the #TexasTech fanbase is about to get their wish. Stay tuned.”


It could be a very interesting night in Lubbock as action has heated up in the past hour. Like Level said, stay tuned.

Scary good or scary bad? All I can say is my hat is off to the guy - in 10 years he went from QB to head coach of his alma mater.

Hope your right. His team gave UW a handful when they played. Probably should've won, as the refs helped UW. That program was crap before him. At least Alvarez didn't feel he had to hire a "Wisconsin Guy." Gotta think he has some good Utah JUCO connections.

Ya Wisconsin somehow made out in the exchange which seemed unlikely when he left.
