And Tubberville said he'd only leave Ole Miss in a pine box...

And Saban "was not coming to AL at all"

AU lost a ton of respect doing this, the man has been a good coach the rest of the years, he just had the balls to try something different, that although it did not work, showed alot of weaknesses on his team.

This is a very very sad day for Auburn...Tommy has been a pretty solid coach.

As a [former] life-long UT fan, I hope the Great Pumpkin gets not more jobs...

Of course, the UT system as a whole sucks. I hope John Peterson sucks cock and chokes on it...asshole...

Ok, this is funny/sad. An Auburn co-worker just pointed out to me where they are getting the money to pay for Tubberville's buyout. Auburn booster Bobby Lowder's bank just got $400 million from the government bailout. <facepalm>

What a shitty move by Auburn. They don't care that he has a record of success, it's all about what someone has done for them lately.

Honestly, it's because of Saban and Lowder (AU booster). Saban has cleaned Auburn's clock in recruiting since he came to Alabama. And Lowder has been trying to get rid of Tubberville for quite a few years now.

I doubt he'll get a look but UF Defensive Coordinator Charlie Strong deserves a shot at a HC position at Auburn or elsewhere.

I've heard him mentioned a little, but the focus seems to be on Mike Leach. He seems like a poor fit for Auburn imo.

Other names being thrown around are Brian Kelly (Cincy) and a few ridiculous/won't happen names (Gruden, Cowher).

Ok let's keep Charlie Strong out of the conversation. (UF Fan)

You can have 'offensive genius' Jon Gruden though. They're winning in spite of him, not because of him. Without Kiffen's defense the Bucs would be .500 or worse.

You should pay a little less attention to the Gaytards and more to the NFL. The Bucs' offense is a lot better than people think.

Saban not happy about Tuberville getting the boot

'There have been several coaches who have been let go in our league who have a pretty good body of work behind them, who are really good coaches and are really good for the game,' Saban said about all three coaches during his weekly Wednesday press conference. 'They've been good for a lot of players, and they've had very, very good programs.

'Those guys are really good coaches. They've done a good job for a long time and have a tremendous body of work. I really question some of the judgment relative to how it is for our game, that people who have those kinds of relationships and have done that kind of job, affecting so many people in such a positive way, and have had a reasonable amount of success relative to their circumstances, would not be given more respect and consideration.

'I guess we're 5-7 away from the same thing.'

...

'When you see a program start to lose toughness, discipline, those types of things, that's one thing. That's not the case. It wasn't the case at Tennessee, it wasn't the case at Mississippi State, it wasn't the case anywhere.'

wonder if theyre trying to get Muschamp for coaching job...

Lowder will want Leach but hiring Leach at AU would be a mistake of Biblical proportions.

If the powers that be at AU listened to me these would be the first guys I'd go after:

Turner Gill
Brian Kelly
Charlie Strong
Butch Davis


Wonder if I put Fire Jay Jacobs in my sig Auburn will follow along there too.

Tommy Tuberville for AD!

Tuberville resigned. From what I've been hearing it was more mutual than first thought. Tub's was going to have to overhaul his entire staff of ACs, another OC, and possibly another DC he decided against doing that. There have also been rumors that his wife has wanted him to retire for a couple years now and this is the perfect opportunity now.


My perspective: Tuberville was a solid, not great coach. He ran a clean, disciplined program. AU players were not regulars on the police blotter and he had a pretty good graduation %. My problem with Tuberville was never how he ran the program (I think he'd make a fantastic AD), it was his coaching (or lack thereof) on the field. Auburn never seemed to make halftime adjustments and lacked a killer instinct. Even during the 2004 run, Auburn let teams hang around that never really put anyone away. I wish him success in all his future endeavours.

Thanks Coach Tuberville. You ran a good program and did a terrific job of cleaning up the horrible situation left behind by Tater Tot.

If you can get Butch more power to you but I know he was UT's #1 choice and we went after him several times.

Yeah, I know he and Kelly both said they don't want to go anywhere. At one point my favorite to replace CTT was CBD but Turner Gill has really grown on me. I mean, he's actually winning at Buffalo.

I know he was contacted by UT too but not sure what happened there. I agree he's a good coach and will get a shot somewhere soon

 

[chuckywang]

Tuberville averaged 10 wins a year his last 5 years ... he had one bad season, so what?

And only 1 SEC Championship. Yes, he was a pretty decent coach but he wasn't spectacular. You can only throw so many OCs under the bus before people realize what the common denominator is with your lousy offense.

 

[slsmnaz]

Auburn's wish list reportedly could include Texas Tech's Mike Leach, Louisiana Tech's Derek Dooley and current coaches-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher of Florida State and Will Muschamp at Texas.

Leach is quite the flavor of the month

For the love of all that is good and holy, please let Washington hire Leach and get him off this Auburn "wish list".

It's the same reason Tommy Tuberville is out of work today. Auburn doesn't know it's still Auburn. It can win 12 in a row in the Iron Bowl, and it will still be ranked No. 2 in the state.

Auburn has already lost about 5 of their top recruits. The firing of Tuberville and the way it has been handled threatens to set the AU program back a couple of years unless AU hires a new HC that is dynamic and an excellent recruiter.

Let's be honest, there weren't too many "great" prospects in AU's class this year anyway. Cotton and Lutz would be great additions. If we're still interested in them, I'm sure the new HC will have no problems luring them back from Southern Miss, Kentucky, Troy, etc...

The ones mentioned in this article are all 4 star recruits and are considering schools like Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Purdue.

AU's biggest problem is that they've got to find a QB. Kodi Burns has just not shown that he can be a capable SEC QB.

CTT could have racked up 10 consecutive wins against Bama but with only 1 SEC Championship during that same time fram I'm ready for him to move on.

He's averaged 8.5 wins/season over the last 10 years and Auburn has exactly 2 SECCG appearances, 1 SEC title, and 1 BCS bowl over that span. Why is CTT suddenly considered the greatest thing since sliced bread? 1 conference title every decade is "great"?
