No "official" release yet. Should come soon. Being reported in the B'ham news and now the writers at ITAT are calling it....
More details coming I'm sure...
-
I'm going to need a link.
Without a link I will be forced to moderate you....with extreme prejudice.
Better check your "warn meter", yo.

Monumentally stupid move, in my opinion.
Not only is it a knee-jerk reaction, but this is an awful year to be coach shopping at the last minute.

.... and they have Leachs' goofy ass head on the page! I am not so sure about that hire...if that is who we are going after!
-
WOW.
WOW.
You know, now that it's finally happened, I'm a little sad. Don't get me wrong, I'm ready for a change - change we can believe in! But, Tuberville really was a good guy.
OOHHHHH WELLL.
WAR DAMN COACHING SEARCH!

Fuck Mike Leach. BIG mistake and a clear example of why Jacobs needs to be fired.
-
Fuck.
-
I saw the report from Scarbinsky that said Mike Leach and Petrino have both been informally contacted. I can tell you with 100% certainty that Petrino will not come to Auburn. Leach, I hope he stays in Texas. Should be an interesting coaching search.
-
Fuck Mike Leach.
This cannot be said enough.
-
Leach? Noooooo......
I want to get back to traditional AU football. Bring in someone who knows how to run the F'n ball first and foremost. Cribbs, Brooks, Little Train, Bo, Fullwood, Davis, Bostic, Irons, Rudi and on and on and on....
No gimmicky shit.
-
This cannot be said enough.
FUCK Mike Leach.
-
NOT MIKE LEACH.
Jesus. Tuberville wasn't a bad coach. He just kinda gave up on us. He wasn't trying as hard as he used to. In all honestly, Tuberville built a great program at Auburn, and we could be great starting NEXT year. I think we need to go after a guy who is similar in style to Tuberville. Strong running game, balanced passes, and tough defense.
Mike Leach will make us a different football team in three years. Next year will be horrible.
-
I am truly sad - not sure what to think...
-
Waiting for the official release. Big, huge, premature mistake if true.
-
Big, huge, premature mistake if true.
What he said.
-
Can we PLEASE GOD fire Jay Jacobs before we hire a football coach?
-
Shoot it's all over the TV news in B'ham already. It's basically official at this point except for the dressed up version from Auburn.
-
Waiting for the official release. Big, huge, premature mistake if true.
It's true.
-
It's true.
Yeah, it's on Scout, Rivals, al.com, and Finebaum is all over it.
-
I feel like a kid who's parents are getting divorced.
Keep in mind, I'm a young buck. I don't really remember Dye, and barely remember Tot.
It will be very very strange having someone else in charge of this team. It will be like a stepdad wanting to go out in the yard to play catch. I'm not sure if I'll be able to trust him no matter how great he appears to be...
:sad:
-
Just announced on ESPN News. Around the Horn is on ESPN, so nothing's going to show up there till Sportscenter later.
-
Ok - now i am pissed. Jay Jacobs' ass should be on the line for this one. He fucked up the baseball coach, fucked up basketball, fucked up swimming, and so yeah, I have a lot of confidence that he can find a great football coach...
If his choice for coach fails - then he should be the next one fired. Asshole.
I am going to miss Coach Tubs very very much. I feel so bad for the players - wonder what they must be thinking right now.
And recruiting... welcome to scrubsville, y'all...
-
Here's the thing, I too believe that this could turn out to be a mistake. However I think Tubs has overplayed his cards over the last 4-5 years at the end of each season. With all the doubt about his future every year and his numerous flirtations with other jobs to get extensions and raises, he has burned alot of support within the program and with the fans. It seems as though every year during prime recruiting time he has given us and recruits reason to believe he would not come back.
When you treat everything like a business, you have to pay the consequences when the business fails.
One of the only good things that will come out of this is that we no longer have to wonder every year where he might go or when he will get fired.
-
I wonder if they negotiated a smaller buy out or if he raped them blind. JJ is not impressing me much.

Agreed. I think there is more to this firing that we will every truly know.
Sure, Tuberville's performance hasn't been stellar as of late, but he has had enough success to warrant another year. What could have gotten him fired is the perennial rumors we've endured every year since 2004. If those rumors were true, then ole Tubs shouldn't have any problem finding another job since every vacant position has drooled over him.

I'll bet Dabo Swinney just got a call from the AD: "Hey, Dabs, we're having some second thoughts..."
-
I just hope whoever we get keeps it as clean as CTT did, the only hint of wrongdoing around the program while he was here was that stupid directed reading Sociology crap.
-
I bet he goes to MS St....and does a damn good job there...please lord not leach...
-

Word.

Secret word is now that CTT resigned. Does he still get any money?

Great job Jacobs and the other PTBs. You just made a bad year worse by firing on of the most successful coaches at Auburn and gave the Turds more of an advantage in recruiting.
I ask you guys, when something you love starts becoming something you despise, when do you stop loving it?
We all love Auburn because of what it represents, but what if the people in charge are changing what it represents? What if they are ignoring the history, the AU Creed, and what it means to be an Auburn man or woman and turning it into they type of institution that resembles the one from the west side of the state? Do we continue to support Auburn anyway, hoping somebody will come along and turn it back towards the right direction, or do we blindly follow it until before we know it, we are supporting a school that is run just like UAT? Then our fan base, which has already partly become that way, turns into something that also resembles the Turds.
We need a grass roots movement that will push Riley to make some changes on that board of trustees. It needs to be done now before the school we love is turned into something ugly. This is not about a coach, it is about doing what is right for Auburn, and lately the decisions made by the PTBs have nothing to do with what is right for Auburn.
I actually agree with Kaos for a change (don't spit your drink out all over the keyboard), but Jay Jacobs is a complete idiot and needs to be fired also. He has shown a complete ineptitude as AD. He is Lowder's patsy and has done his bidding by getting rid of CTT. He has already ran good coaches out of town and made the awful Slater hire. How much longer do we allow this guy to hang around and destroy the athletic program. I have also figured out that Gouge must be a yes man also, because how could he allow all of this happen also?
-

If true, then it would be a forced resignation, like Fulmer. As far as if he gets money, I don't know enough about his contract.
-
Well, we're on the coaching carousel...I'll keep it kinda short: The wrong guy got sent packing today, although I do agree with the statement earlier that Tuberville may have played the "since I got shit on in '03, I've got y'all over a barrel" card a little too often. That in and of itself, though, does not even remotely rise to the level of getting canned.
I've seen enough toadyness/ineptitude from Jacobs to last me eleventy billion lifetimes.
-
No offense, but you guys are a bunch of pansies. You all want great Auburn football, you all want championships...especially National championships, but when a move is made to do so you act like the drill press operator crying over Tubs. Listen, I like Tubs, he did a lot for Auburn, but he seriously had given up and you could tell he wasn't trying anymore. Fuck that...Auburn needs a coach that wants to win and demands excellence.

And who is that? That is available now? That you would rather have than Tommy Tuberville? That's my concern.
-
How many times have we seen posts stating that Tubs will never take us to the promised land. Well we are "finally" rid of him and now everyone seems to want him back, I'm confused. Galen just posted a 3 page article listing all the reasons Tubs should be fired and now thinks there are no options out there for a better coach and that we just fucked the goat. We will have no idea how good our new coach is until he gets here and starts playing some games.
I would just like us to get our hands off the panic button.
-

Jay Jacobs said in his presser that money was not an option for the coaching search. Let me repeat that, MONEY IS NOT AN OPTION. If they can't go out and get a great coach with a blank check, then that is an rpic failure. Money talks.
Mark, I totally agree with you. Suck it up, Auburn existed pre-Tuberville and they will exist post-Tuberville.

No, that's not what I said. I believe there are coaches out there that can elevate Auburn.
But Mediocre Mike Leach, Smilin Bob Petrino, Wet Willy Muschamp, Bama Butch Davis and Steve Kragendork aren't the answer.

If I'm making the call, I'm calling some of these people:
Gruden
Bill Cowher
the guy at TCU

What have Gruden or Cowher ever done on the college level? How do you know they will recruit or that their style will be successful on the college level? Do you actually think either one of them want to coach on the college level and put up all the bullshit that comes with an AD, President, and BOT's
"the guy at TCU" really? you don't even know his name

What had Pete Carroll ever done at the college level?
I know his name. I chose not to invoke it.

While Carroll never was a college head coach prior to USC he was in the college game from 74-83 as an assistant. He had a taste for what it was like.
Gruden has some experience at college:
Background: Quarterback at Dayton (1982-84), graduating with a degree in communications. The Flyers had a 24-7 record in Gruden's three varsity seasons. Coach collegiately at Tennessee (1986-87), Southeast Missouri State (1988), Pacific (1989), and Pittsburgh (1991).
My question is his willingness to come back as he has staed many times that he has no interest
-
Since this seems to maybe be more appropriate...I will post what I put in another thread here...
I know you guys are going to kill me for this, but the more and more I think about it, I think Muschamp may be the best choice right now. I think it is a moot point, but if we could get him, I think it may be a good hire.
Muschamp knows Saban. He knows how he works, he knows how he recruits, and he knows how he coaches. He would know what it takes to compete on the recruiting trail...which is BY FAR what Saban was kicking Tubs ass in. He is a young, aggressive dude. HUGE name! Could generate A LOT of excitement. We would have a solid defense still. I would almost bet that our recruiting commitments would stay put if he was announced. AND I bet that since he is such a defensive mind, he would try to hire a great OC and then he would STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY. He is a young dude and he could be aroud for a while if we treated him right.
I'll say this, he has got IT. Not sure what IT is, but you don't get to where he is, which is in negotiations (as a 30 something) to take over a TOP 3 PROGRAM in the country without have IT. Name another coach that you could say all of these things about. Sure, he has no HC experience...but he has BIG GAME experience and BIG TIME PROGRAM experience. If he yook the job, he would know EXACTLY what he was getting into.
The coach from TCU, Tech, Natti or any of the other schools can't say that...

One other thing about Gruden; It looks like the Bucs are headed for the playoffs, are you really willing to wait that long?
-
Why is no one mentioning the DC at Florida - Charlie Strong? Good coach, minority, been in a successful program...

Myself and Tailgate have thrown his name out a couple of times, but nobody seems to notice.

uhh hello he was in my top two in the who do we get next thread.
I think this would be a tremendous boost for recruiting. However, and I am throwing this out there Black coach at Auburn some people are still going to have issues with that.....and you know dis....MAN.

I'm in the Charlie Strong camp, too, but my only thought is why isn't he a head coach somewhere? Seems like he's paid his dues as a DC in this league long enough.
