auburn4ever 1,266 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If he ever got tired of being a head coach, Tommy would be a really good DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lala 327 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The admin did not support him but Tubs brought a lot of this on himself with his agent constantly searching for new work. That whole era had some emotional ups and downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUmind 0 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'll bet a bean burrito Tubbs isn't done coaching at AU. No inside info, just a gut feeling. Probably just gas. Either that or he had tacos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully to Beasley 643 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I miss Coach Tommy Tuberville. I did not agree with his firing then and I still do not now. I am glad that he still loves Auburn enough to send his son here for school. I would love to see CTT back at Auburn in some capacity in the future. CTT is a class act and I wish him well wherever the future leads him. And yes....his team won the MNC in 2004. It is a shame our "athletic director" did not have the guts to step forward like a man and acknowledge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I still have to stop and scratch my cranium why we fired a coach who beat bammer 7 times in a row. I know we won a NC with CGC and made it to the NC game with Gus. I will always think of Tubbs as the best coach we have ever had to date in many ways. I hope Gus can get the ship back on course more than anyone I can think of. He will likely do so if we can be patient with the man and let him coach his way back to the top. I want to be able to say in 6 years that Gus is now the best coach we ever had in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareagleguy 1,393 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have always liked TT. I hated it when he left. I know some have mentioned he would be a good AD someday . . . maybe even at AU. I don't know about that, but I would love to have him affiliated with Auburn in some way in the future. War Eagle TT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wareagleguy 1,393 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I appreciate CTT, but sense he's a bit burned out. I've thought that a time or two myself over the past two years. I think it was the last game against Miami (but it may have been the Memphis game) where the announcers said something to the effect that TT was really enjoying coaching and had a lot of enthusiasm. He does seem a bit different now then his early years at AU . . . maybe it's just age and wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made some comment after leaving Tech for Cincy that indicated he was glad to be in a less scrutinized environment. I think he still loves the game and competing, but is less enamored of the circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoundationEagle 637 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Auburn should had done a 2005 team recognition with both coaches here Or 2006 All 4... Tubbs Borges and Muschamp plus TRob was a GA then. How ironic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU has bounced between contender and dumpster fire since Tubbs left. Time heals a lot of wounds, Tubbs seems to love Auburn and boosters love winning. For the most part, Tubbs did that.

WarDlowe 39 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I miss CTT. I was in school at AU when he was our coach. We had consistent winning seasons, our players rarely got in trouble and were actually punished if they did, and we won big games. Sure, we lost some we shouldn't have lost, but that was a time when expectations surrounding college football hadn't become completely out of hand. I would take the consistency and type of program we had under CTT over the roller coaster we've been on since then any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...in 10 years he had 2 seasons with 10 wins or more and had 19 players drafted (less than 2 a year). This isn't the same SEC is was 8 years ago and he was done with the circus then. He damn sure wouldn't do well in it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
