A lot has changed for the Cincinnati Bearcats since 2016. In the last three plus years, the program has completely shaken up the coaching staff, reached a new level of success on the recruiting trail and taken a seat at the contenders table in the American Athletic Conference. Considering the fact that they went just 4-8 during the 2016 season, its quite a marvel that they have gotten to where they are so quickly.
The 2016 season also featured one of the final recruiting classes of the Tommy Tuberville era. Although Tuberville’s tenure with the Bearcats ended quite dismally, the 2019 season will still be affected by what he and his staff was able to do in 2016.
