Tommy Tuberville leaves Texas Tech Red Raiders to become coach of Cincinnati Bearcats
Tommy Tuberville has left Texas Tech to become the new coach at Cincinnati.
He will replace Butch Jones, who accepted the head coaching job at Tennessee on Friday. Cincinnati called a 6:30 p.m. ET news conference to introduce Tuberville.
A Texas Tech official said the school was "completely blindsided" by the decision.
Tuberville was 20-17 in three seasons at Texas Tech, going 7-5 this season to reach the Meineke Car Care Bowl vs. Minnesota. The Red Raiders started the season 6-1 but lost four of their final five games.
