Tommy Tuberville Agrees To Become Texas Tech’s Next Head Coach

Via Buster Sports comes the latest report regarding Tommy Tuberville’s future as Texas Tech head coach. According to Buster Sports’ Jim Donnan, who spoke to Tuberville just minutes ago, the former-Auburn head coach confirmed that he’ll be continuing his coaching career at Texas Tech next season.

Fresh off the Mike Leach debacle, it seems Texas Tech is ready to move on. ESPN’s Joe Schad is reporting that the school has a deal in place with former Auburn head coach Tommy Tubberville, with a formal announcement of a hiring coming later today.

Tuberville has a career head coaching record of 110-60, and he last coached in 2008, when he led Auburn to a 5-7 record. Tuberville resigned after the season, and since then, he’s been moonlighting as a college football analyst for ESPN. No word on whether he’s got a healthy relationship with Craig James.
