some of the unwarrented criticism on tubby may have been race related, we are talking about kentucky.
tubby didn't just leave on his own. it was an agreement between him and the school to make tubby look good instead of firing him. kentucky fans with unrealistic expectations got on the AD, so instead of firing him he let tubby say he left.
i think some fans were on him more because he was black. the AD didn't want to fire him, so they agreed in private for him to leave. he didn't leave on his own like stated.
they have a foundation down there and tubby loves it there. he would've signed a lifetime contract if he had the chance.
