Good luck recruiting Ohio
Not surprised one bit.

what is that story? id like
what is that story? id like to hear that one out of curiousity
As I remember it...
Was reported that e was out for dinner with a recruit (and family I believe) and he was in the middle of telling them how he was staying and selling the program when he got up to "use the washroom" and never returned. Reports then hit the web that he was taking Cincinnati job.
If you spell Crisler like the car company you should hand in your fan card before the next meeting.... Same goes for Ferry Field

It wasn't just him and one
It wasn't just him and one recruit. It was the whole staff and several recruits.
Recruiting visit for Tech
While on dinner with some kids he was recruiting for Texas Tech, he got up to "go to the bathroom." In that time was he was told he had been offered the job at Cincy, and he left the restaurant without saying anything to the recruits.
The waitress brought our food
The waitress brought our food out, and we thought [Tuberville] went to the bathroom, but he never game back to dinner...Then the next thing I know, the next day, he made an announcement that he's going to Cincinnati.

Weird. I feel like it's
Weird. I feel like it's usually the opposite: new coach has to scramble to hold on to as many commits as possible. Not too often you see a guy chase recruits off.
Dirt bag or not, it's just a weird thing for a new coach to do.
I don't understand this
I do not understand why a coach would do this. How hard is it to have the balls to tell a high school kid that you are looking at someone else? In this situation where he's a new coach, it would be understandable for him to call people who committed to the previous staff and left them know why he is looking at giving a scholarship to another kid.
He probably tells his players about how he expects them to act like men too. Just another case of "Do as I say, not as I do."
If I had a son who was a D1 recruit, I would not let him go play for this guy.

About as hard as it is to have the testicles
to return to the dinner table and say that something has come up--not. Only a serious pr*ck would do it.

Meh
Recruits renege on commitments and change their mind all the time. Why shouldn't a school be allowed to do the same (presuming no LOI has been signed)?
the issue isn't the
the issue isn't the reneging....although classless. It is the not-telling them that is especially gutless and cowardly.
Sort of like Miles letting

No one is saying he isn't
No one is saying he isn't allowed to do that... It's just an exceptionally classless thing to do.

It is a big deal
It's called professionalism. It's called communication. Two things Tubberville lacks. I'd be outraged too if I were the player or his parents. Tubberville just really played god with these kids. It's total BS
Absolutely
...tack on the fact that recruits are 17/18 yr old kids. They change their minds, they're making decisions to decide the course of their adult lives, the school they attend. They have parents, friends, teachers and other players who have influence on what they choose to do and where they decide to go. For a coach, it should not be so dynamic. He also should be expected to act like an adult. A Man.
I'M A MAN! I'M 40!!

Because with few exceptions
Because with few exceptions the school doesn't want a kid verbally committed to keep talking to other schools, so many of these kids have been off the radar for months since they committed. The school, on the other hand, can keep recruiting kids all along. So Cincy has been recruiting kids to replace these guys for a solid month without telling said verbal commits that their spots are no longer available. And more generally, an athlete has far less leverage and power in the relationship between himself and the school; the school can almost always find a competent replacement, but the athlete usually has to go through the process all over again.

I hope Massillon's coach gets plenty of support from his peers.
It could have happened to any of their athletes.
I personally think the AD should tear up his contract on live tv if it happened that way.

A Tuberville-ish Thing To Do, Yes...
So, apparently, he left a dinner table in Lubbock in December in the middle of a dinner with Texas A&M recruits without saying anything to anyone, took the Cincinnati job (possibly through non-verbal means), and hasn't talked to anyone since except through representatives. What a precedent for open, honest communication he is setting in his regime - mainly, that there shall be no such thing.
I commend the Massillon coach for his statement - I am not sure how exactly coaching transitions work, but surely one could make the effort when entering into the position of talking to current recruits, introducing oneself and give them a general sense of what one is about and the philosophy and ask them if they would still like to be part of the program, but to say nothing and summarily pull their offers with mere weeks to NSD is an awful thing to do and says a lot (all of it negative) about how the program shall be managed.

What would he be doing with Texas A&M recruits
when he was the head coach of Texas Tech?
Just keeps getting shadier
Just keeps getting shadier and shadier!
Having the number 1 recruiting class means nothing without good coaches to mold the players into champions!
My Fail...
Definitely my fail. Apologies to the board.
Part of me wanted to say, "See, this is what happens when Tommy doesn't talk to anyone - we even forget where he's been..."

Well...
...we are talking about Lubbock in December. I'd high tail it out of there too the first chance I got.
That's pretty low mister

Unfortunately, I don't think kidnapping Tubberville and dragging him to a spurned recruit's house would change his mind.

How strange is college football these days when
Tubberville is coaching at Cincy and Belima goes to Arkansas.
I guess it shouldn't be that suprisng given that Boise St may be joining the Big East and Maryland and Rutgers are joining the B1G.
Why would he do that? They
Why would he do that? They only have 12 commits now. Can't imagine him suddenly finding 13 kids in under 2 months worth burning bridges over. What a fucking douche.
"that's why you don't go to Ohio State, Lawrence"
Exactly. Why do this?
It would be dickish to "manage" the roster over the next year for recruiting flexibility, but it seems dumb &dickish with 4 weeks until NSD.
Maybe he honed his recruiting craft at Auburn ...

At first
I thought what kind of dumb ass would do that. But then I realized the guy was a coach in the sec for 15 years. The question answered itself.
Good luck recruiting Ohio now.
