Bearcats Football: Can We Really Place Blame On Tommy Tuberville For These Losses?

The Cincinnati Bearcats lost another close game yesterday, this time to the #25 Houston Cougars 33-30, and UC fans are up in arms over their $2.2 million head coach Tommy Tuberville.

You know, “fire him”, “fire him now”, “fire him now out of a cannon into the sun”. Stuff like that.

But can we really place 100% of the blame on the 61 year old head coach? The buck certainly should stop at the man overseeing the entire operation. He did hand pick most of the players on this team after all, certainly did so with his assistant and position coaches, and gives them the freedom to operate the kind of systems and make the play calls they want, to a degree.
