Pete Roussel of @coachingsearch and the other Roussel brother at @footballscoop have some stunning news. Breaking: I have learned that Tommy Tuberville has accepted the head coaching job at Cincinnati. http://CoachingSearch.com
He will leave Texas Tech, leaving that Big 12 school in a bind for a new coach.
Pat Forde: Tommy Tuberville to Cincinnati is done. Press conference tonight at 6:30 ET.
From the @footballscoop post:
Cincinnati athletic director Whit Babcock has been close with
Tuberville since Babcock served as an assistant athletic director at
Auburn while Tuberville was the Tigers' head coach. Whit moved
decisively and in the best interests of his University and has landed a
top-tier coach.
Tuberville brings a career
130-77 record in 17 years as a head coach at Ole Miss, Auburn and Texas
Tech. Sources indicated to us that snagging Tuberville could be a key
move in Cincinnati's push to join the ACC.
Sources have also indicated to us that former Louisville, Atlanta
Falcons and Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino could join Tuberville's
staff as the offensive coordinator if he does not obtain a head coaching
job.

Chiefs LB Jovan Belcher kills himself, girlfriend
At the Kansas City Chiefs facility this morning, Chiefs LB Jovan Belcher killed himself. This was confirmed by Kansas City police. KCPD says the player thanked both Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennel before taking his life, and that Pioli and Crennel did not feel threatened.
@AlbertBreer says: Spokesman said PD the girl's mother called them, her daughter had been shot by her "on-again, off-again bf". As the officer got out of his car, he heard a gunshot. Player was taken to local hospital, pronounced dead.
All officials have released on shooter remains he's a 25-year-old black male who plays for the Chiefs.
Jason LaCanfora of CBS reports that LB Jovan Belcher was the guy that committed suicide. Belcher was a LB from Maine. He had played in 11 games this season for KC. Last year, he started every game at LB. He had 87 tackles in 2011; 84 in 2010.
@DannyParkins is reporting that the player apparently was confronted with#Chiefs coaches in the parking lot before he put the gun to his head and committed suicide. Other reports are saying Romeo Crennel and Scott Pioli were outside, unconfirmed.
@TeamACW reported at 8:15AM CT: (1/2) Anonymous caller claiming to be a policeman says authorities are headed to Arrowhead to arrest#Chiefs LB Jovan Belcher for allegedly shooting his mother. Surely, an extremely creative hoax. But the way things have gone for the #Chiefs this year...
Glazer is reporting all players have been asked to report to a team meeting. Jeff_Rosen88 (sports editor of the KC Star) is reporting a #Chiefs player killed his girlfriend and then himself. KCTV (CBS in KC) also reporting the shooting. 8am CT.
This is what they said:
Police are investigating two deadly shootings Saturday morning that they said are related.
The shootings involve a Chiefs player and his girlfriend.
The first shooting was reported about 8 a.m. at a home near 54th Street and Chrysler Avenue. The second shooting was reported a short time later at a Chiefs practice facility located on the Arrowhead facility.
Officials said the Chiefs player shot and killed his girlfriend and then drove to the practice facility where he shot and killed himself.
It's unknown if people were at Arrowhead or any of its surrounding facilities at the time.
A set of tweets from @DannyParkins:
They are supposed to play the Carolina Panthers tomorrow. @josephperson reports: Panthers interim GM Brandon Beane says league has advised team to travel as planned. Team charter leaves at 1:15 pm.
