Tuberville named Texas Tech coach Q&A

Texas Tech officials have announced that Tommy Tuberville will be the school's next coach. The school announced its choice in a news release Saturday and said Tuberville will be introduced by university and athletic department administrators Sunday.

Tuberville stepped down at Auburn in December 2008, ending a 10-year tenure that included a perfect season and a string of teams that contended for Southeastern Conference championships. The 55-year-old Tuberville was 85-40 at Auburn, including a 13-0 in 2004.
