And it was tubbervilles constant winning that forced them to go get saban. Tubbs put bama in the cellar it wasnt bc they were bad. We also played urban meyer led florida twice in that stretch and won both times. And it was the beginning of the SEC streak. So dont re-write history to say the SEC was weak. Tubbs was a great coach. I honestly dont understand why people dont like him I said I did like him if you read my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,651 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The PTB doesn't like him b/c he made them look bad in 04. Message board "insiders" don't like him b/c they form opinions based on those of the PTB too much. SOME Auburn people don't like him b/c he made poor hiring decisions and checked out on recruiting his last couple years. He brought us some very high highs, but like most AU coaches...he was inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,614 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Coach Tuberville will not become anybody's "analyst" or anything similar. He may well become the AD somewhere, maybe even replace Jacobs at Auburn. But analyst? No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 62 and has plenty of money... and we know he prefers hunting and fishing to recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Coach Tuberville as AD would be great if we can give Jacobs a nice buyout. As for OC, why not Al Borges? I still remember what an awesome job he with turning Jason Campball into a heck of an SEC QB. Al would do another great job but this time with Jarrett Stidham.

TigerOne 1,146 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 boy Auburn likes to live in the past. Why can't Auburn move to the future, nothing Tubs would do would do that. He got fired at Cincy right? (or stepped down whatever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker 2,457 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Tubs had a knife slowly inserted into his back by our PTB...Tubs for AD? Silliness. Tubs as recruiting guru? HECK NO! He targeted 2 and 3* players. He was inconsistent b/c he had inconsistent talent. I got the feeling he shied away from heavy recruiting battles and settled, then 'coached them up'. That is an awful strategy and as posted, got him a bucketload of inconsistency. Thanks for the wins over bama, the 2004 team and fun memories (smoking a stogie on LSU's field!). Don't need more mediocrity in our AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Beavis 15 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I don't see it happening, but I for one would like to have Tubs sitting in the booth on Saturdays with an eye on the defense (or opposing offense) and giving his input.

Thanks for the wins over bama, the 2004 team and fun memories (smoking a stogie on LSU's field!). Don't need more mediocrity in our AD. On #1................... That stuff works both ways. Both parties were at fault. On #2 ............................ Tubs recruited lights out when he had the full backing of the AD. When the AD put Tubs and his staff under the "We will fire you if you have one recruiting violation" then recruiting sucked. As much to blame on the AD as Tubs. Would have cost Tubs big money if he were let go because of recruiting violations. As for #3......................... Tubs needs to learn the ins and outs of running a AD, not just a football program, before he even gets a sniff at the AU job. Who knows if Tubs can be a good AD or not. Not one person here can say either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"__________ would be a great replacement for Jacobs." No matter who you use to fill the blank, the statement remains true. I like Tubs. I'd prefer to see an executive type take the reigns. This is a very large business enterprise now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
