    Since the "Tommy Tuberville" thread is closed in the Where are they now? section, I wanted to point out that on this day eight years ago -- August 31, 2013 -- UC crushed Purdue 42-7 in the opening game of the Tuberville era. https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...meId/332432132

    With that in mind.... a special shoutout to Luke Fickell for being Luke Fickell and doing big things at UC!

      Via Dan Hoard on Twitter:

      With the opening at USC, the LA Times sent @BradyMcCollough to Cincinnati to profile Luke Fickell. This is an outstanding look at the Fickell family. https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/s...oaching-search

        Not sure if this had been posted before. This is a great interview WATCH: Bearcats in the National Spotlight This Week - University of Cincinnati Athletics (gobearcats.com)

          Premium article, so I'll spare the whole excerpt. But I wanted to share the following grades of the Fickell hire:

          Original grades
          • ESPN: C+
          • CBS: C+
          • SI: B
          • Fox Sports: B
          • SB Nation: B

            I think that in 2021, you would give the hire as an A.

              The article gave a regrade for all of the coaches. Luke earned a well deserved A+. If you don't have a subscription to the Athletic, you should try it. They have a lot of good articles and the UC beat writer, Justin Williams is excellent.

                Coach Fick coming in at #45 on the salary list this year. There are coaches and agents stealing money from some of these schools. David Shaw is the one I noticed first. He’s a good coach but not that good.

                  Ahead of around 1/3 of the power 5 and way ahead of the next in the group of 5. I wonder what is up with Brian Kelly? Where are they hiding it?

                    Could you imagine the thunderous noise if TX A&M tried to fire Jimbo Fisher for cause? How did he merit a $95M+ buyout?

                        Its obscene and just plain wicked to pay a football coach $9,000,000.

                          I wish I was that football coach. When I coached at first it was volunteer, and then $3216 for the season came out to something like .12 cents an hour.

                            A couple interesting points in this article. 1. He likes Mike Bohn. 2. He’s hired an agent.

                              Rut Roh. I hope we're not reading too much into that

                                I read the agent thing as if Luke has always had the agent and it was nothing new.
