Coaches Hot Seat Analysis: Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy….Oh, if only Tommy Tuberville had been represented by Coaches Hot Seat rather than Little Debbie Boy in Memphis in 2009 Tubbs would not now be in West Texas coaching the Texas Tech Red Raiders and on the HOT SEAT, but rather would be sitting comfortably in the head coach’s office of a college football team in Tampa, Knoxville, Chapel Hill, College Station, Miami, Fayetteville, Phoenix, Tucson, etc., where the weather was a lot warmer, there were a lot more great golf courses nearby and a place that is a lot easier to win at than in Lubbock.
Therein lies the untold story about Mike Leach getting run out of Lubbock for something that was completely Bogus and our high school and college coaches just laughed like Hell at since they did things ten times worse to us on a daily basis when we were slacking off and/or acting like an ass (Let’s not even go into our US military days here since football practice and conditioning didn’t come close to what the military boys put us through not to mention taking on those Bastard Soviets!) and that story that winning football games at Texas Tech is no easy task and what Mike Leach did in 10 seasons in Lubbock…
Overall Record: 84 – 43 (.661)
Big 12 Record: 47 – 33 (.588)
10 bowl game trips
….was little short of remarkable since the coach that preceded Leach at Tech, the legendary Spike Dykes, only put up records of….
Overall Record: 82 – 67 – 1 (.547)
Southwest/Big 12: 57 – 40 – 1 (.582)
….at Texas Tech which is still mighty impressive far out in the west part of Texas.
The Bottom-Line is that consistently winning at Texas Tech is….HARD.
On the other hand any random person chose from any barbeque restaurant in the state of Texas could be a consistent winner at Auburn and that means that Tommy Tuberville is going to have to prove in 2012 whether he can coach the game of football or not because the only other place where Tuberville coached, Ole Miss, was also a very HARD place to win at and what was Tubbs record in Oxford you ask?
Tommy Tuberville 4 Years at Ole Miss:
Overall: 25 – 20 (.556)
SEC: 12 – 20 (.375)
Uh – Oh is right!
In 2011 Tommy Tuberville led Texas Tech to an overall record of 5 – 7 and a Big 12 record of 2 – 7 which included a win over Oklahoma in Norman in Week 7 (Yes, Bob Stoops is always good for one week where he and the OU coaching staff take the week off an Texas Tech was that week in 2011. Maybe Mike Stoops can do something about that “week off issue” at Oklahoma or maybe he can’t, but if Oklahoma has another letdown in 2011 against a significantly inferior team as they did against Texas Tech last season maybe it will be time for Bob to retire permanently to Crescent Beach!) and that means if Bob Stoops Sooners had been awake and ready to play against Tech last season the Red Raiders might have gone 1 – 8 in Big 12 play with only a win over hapless Kansas which means things could be a whole lot worse for Tubs right now and that reality should scare the Hell out of Texas Tech fans everywhere!
Texas Tech opens the 2012 season against THREE Cupcakes (Northwestern State, Texas State and New Mexico…yes, the Lobos are a Cupcake until proven otherwise under new head coach Bob Davie) so the Red Raiders should arrive at Iowa State in Week 4 with a 3 – 0 record and if Tommy Tuberville is ready to prove his chops then Texas Tech needs to find a way to win this game over the Cyclones since Oklahoma will be coming to Lubbock on Week 5 and Bob Stoops usually puts a good football team on the field when he and his coaches are focused and they should be focused to whip the Hell out of Texas Tech after the debacle in Norman last season.
IF Texas Tech does loses to Iowa State in Week 4 then the following games against…
Oklahoma
West Virginia
at TCU
at Kansas State
….could be FOUR straight losses which might just lead to one of the Biggest Hot Seat vs. Hot Seat Head Coaches Games in 2012 when Mack Brown brings the stumbling, bumbling Longhorns to Lubbock in Week 9.
We see Tuberville and the Red Raiders finding a way to get a win over Texas in Week 9, which may be the beginning of the end of Mack Brown’s great coaching career, but if Tech does lose to Texas then the remaining games against Kansas, Oklahoma State and Baylor may be the “Walk the Gangplank” moment for Tuberville and if we know Little Debbie Boy in Memphis, and we believe we do know Little Debbie Boy in Memphis, Little Debbie Boy has already called Fayetteville and Knoxville dozens if not hundreds of times to get Tubbs on the “Next Potential Head Coaches List” at the above two respective schools (Arkansas and Tennessee) and Hell we might just see another Little Debbie Boy instigated Tommy Tuberville “two-step” come November with Tuberville telling anyone that will listen that they will have to carry him out of Lubbock in a “pine box” (with “Guns Up” of course!) with Tuberville suddenly turning up in another city with the hat of another college football team on his head!
So let’s handicap the Tommy Tuberville situation for everyone:
If Texas Tech has a less than .500 record in 2012 Tubbs will probably be fired and replaced by current La. Tech head coach Sonny Dykes
If Texas Tech has a 6 – 6 record in 2012 Tubbs will probably be fired and replaced by current La. Tech head coach Sonny Dykes
If Texas Tech has a 7 – 5 record in 2012 Tubbs will probably take the Arkansas or Tennessee job and be replaced by current La. Tech coach Sonny Dykes
If Texas Tech has an 8 – 4 record in 2012 Tubbs will probably take the Arkansas or Tennessee job and be replaced by current La. Tech coach Sonny Dykes
If Texas Tech has a 9 – 3 record in 2012 Tubbs will probably take the Arkansas or Tennessee job and be replaced by current La. Tech coach Sonny Dykes.
If Texas Tech has 10 or better wins in 2012 we would expect Little Debbie Boy in Memphis to be on the phone with Jerry Jones in the latter half of the upcoming season because EVERYONE but Jerry Jones knows that current Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is a Complete Joke (13 – 11 in two seasons with the Cowboys) and that sooner or later Jones will have to hire a REAL head football coach for the Cowboys and since it is our opinion Tubbs dream job is with the Dallas Cowboys we have no doubt that Little Debbie Boy in Memphis will try to make that dream come true.
The Bottom-Line: It looks like 2012 will be Tommy Tuberville’s last season in Lubbock whether he does bad, good or great and it also looks like come January 2013 the son of legendary Texas Tech head coach Spike Dykes, Sonny Dykes, will be the head football coach at Texas Tech.
All of the above means that Tommy Tuberville is not so much on the Hot Seat at Texas Tech, but rather he is on the Hot Seat along with Little Debbie Boy in Memphis who is no doubt as he is reading this blog making a call to someone about Tubbs and is saying something like….
“Hey, I just wanted to remind you that Tommy Tuberville won 85 games at Auburn in 10 years and had that one great undefeated season in 2004. Just keep Tommy in mind as you consider your options.”
Hell, one thing for sure Tommy Tuberville or pretty much ANY other football coach in the state of Texas would be better than Jason Garrett to lead the Dallas Cowboys and the last Damn person to know that TRUTH will of course be…
Jerry Jones!
