Why on earth did you fire Tommy Tuberville?
Auburn just made a drastic move that will come with them not succeeding for a couple years because I really dont see a coach that can make it better than what Tuberville did at Auburn. Lets take a look... 85 wins in 10 years, 7-3 against Alabama, 5-5 against Georgia/LSU which are two other big rivals of Auburn. He also has been very successful in bowl games so its not like he is slacking there neither. He was a pretty solid recruiter bringing in guys like Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, and Marcus McNeil. Where learning doesnt happen (the SEC) he had 2o players with at least 3.0s and had a pretty good graduation rate. You never heard about the Tigers getting into much trouble because Tuberville held them to a high standard.
Auburn has always seemed to not be the fondest of Coach Tuberville as they set up meetings with Bobby Petrino in 2003 with the chance that Tuberville was getting the axed. Every year it seems like you hear Auburn or Clemson's coaches are on the hot seat and would you look at that, both go this year. The boosters want a "Nick Saban" hiring and I am sorry you will not get that Auburn, they arent tops in the SEC for coaching jobs see Bama, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia.
The SEC is a big revolving door because if I was Mississippi State, I would already have a job offer ready for Tuberville. Do what the other team in Mississippi did, clean up the mistakes of your rivals. Look at Ole Miss, hired Houston Nutt and got them to a bowl game (First time since 2003). This coaching pattern in the SEC will drive some coaches away, I will guarantee that.
Best of luck to Tuberville and for Auburn better hope someone has some NFL connections.
