Your post reeks of hyperbole. Administrator he is not. that is why the team broke down. he was in control but he wasn't. no clarity or roles. you don't totally change offense just half way and forget to tell your longtime assistants. i don't see how the facts that drove him out of auburn are taken as hyperbole when considering him at an administrative position. he was a decent coach who couldn't recruit worth a damn but got a lot out of lesser rated players. we were always competetive, actually good on defense.

aubaseball 2,627 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Wasn't saying Dye was a good AD, was just saying that head coaches don't always make good AD's. As a matter of fact, Dye was a terrible AD. Money was never spent on upgrading any other athletic facility while he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 My question is, has our AD realized that the next big thing is a department of off-field consultants and that Tubbs would be a great candidate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 i think tubs will retire from coaching. maybe tv at most. duck hunting and golf is what i would focus on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave me a 4-0 record against the Turds during my years in school on the Plains and some of my favorite games I still love to talk about. Love him or hate him, the guy gave us a good decade of football. An AD? I don't know. I loved Tubs, and was beyond mad when he resigned. It was hard to understand why a coach who beat the crap out of the turds for several seasons, resigned and had a lot of fans who turned on him. As far as an AD is concerned, Tubs would be a huge step up from Jacobs. I think he would catch on quickly and turn out to be a very good AD over time. It will not happen though, so I guess my post is a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracle79 3,569 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 He was a really good coach against top ten competition, but always struggled against a no name mediocre team at least once a year, and didn't recruit worth a crap. Always had good defense and special teams, but always played the percentages and conservatively ground out the clock. He isn't the riverboat gambler he was in the younger years for sure. Great run against Bama when they were down, but we didn't take enough advantage of that before they got Saban. 8 and a half wins a year, and 4 losses. Won some big games and had a couple of great years. Better than decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had a good D, but could never put it all together. He was good at developing talent, but sucked at recruiting it. He coached in a weak SEC west and only put it together 1 time on a team loaded with NFL talent. If he was at AU today, fans would be demanding his head and would've been fired after year 4 or 5. 85-40 is barely what I would consider decent and when looking at who he lost to in would say it drops him down a notch. Tuberville's overall win pct is .618...To compare, Bielema's is ..655. I know nostalgia will tell some otherwise, and I get my opinion won't be popular, but that's what I think.

oracle79 3,569 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I tend to cut him a little slack for his 1st year after Tater Tot's debacle and his last year with the Tony Franklin debacle. The meat of his tenure he was more of a 9-4 to 10-3 coach which is average to good. Everything you said about his tenure is true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
