is not true…I want to beat him a few more times. Please be a rumor.

But, if true this makes what 4 coaches that were “processed” in just one year. Miles should have gone to Mich. while he could. His days are numbered.

just watch

Watch TT end up at MSU. Fans are happy if you go to a bowl and he will have plenty of time to hunt the MS delta flyway with other MSU folks. MSU has a big presence in the delta, which is a duck hunting meca, so he should fit right in for his second stop in MS.

If Tubs goes to MSU he will have coached 3 SEC schools. Will this be the record? Has anyone ever coached 3 SEC schools? Maybe this was his plan to set a new record.

you can actually go and vote Tubs as Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. We should start a movement to get it done. Vote for Tommy!! Vote for Tommy!!

I can’t believe this… this is stupid, stupid, stupid… tubs was a pretty good coach… or did he just ride the success of good OC’s?

According to reports by Fox 6 and WSFA, Tuberville “resigned,” but stated that he will get the six million dollar buyout as was called for in his contract.

Obviously, those two things don’t make sense. Tuberville essentially quits, and instead of him paying Auburn the six million for reneging on the contract earlier, Auburn will pay him the six million dollars. There is no way in hell that Auburn is that benevolent. Read between the lines… Tuberville was forced to resign, hence the buyout. All of the talk about Tubby being burned out, wanting to spend more time with his family, his wife wanting him to retire since 2004, etc., are quite frankly nothing more than a pretext for the real reason.

Considering that Auburn’s new coach — if he is the pretty big hire like Petrino, Davis, or Leach, like many Auburn people are hoping for — that will put the cost of this coaching turnover in the neighborhood of 10 million dollars for the year. With that hefty sum, I cannot help but think they have an incentive to go after a cheaper head coach, like a non-BCS conference coach or a coordinator.

…is saying that Auburn has contacted Leach.

Better get out that thumb Tommy, you need to hitch a ride!!!!

but this is a little ridiculous in my opinion. During our probation years, we dealt with second-rate coaches, mediocre seasons in which we lost to our rivals, and losing seasons where we lost to mostly everybody.

When we fired those coaches after at least two sucky years in a four year period (DuBose and Shula) everybody outside of our gang ripped into us. They said we were obsessed with the past and expecting every coach to be the Bear and that we just couldn’t accept that Alabama wasn’t a great school with any real potential to win championships anymore.

Now, four teams that we kicked the crud out of this year have fired/dismissed/forced the resignation of at gunpoint/etc. their coaches after we beat them handily, so I’m a little peeved.

I know Bowden wasn’t that great, but how many losing seasons has he had? What about Fulmer? Or Croom? From what I remember, Tuberville hasn’t won fewer than nine games in God knows how long and Auburn cans him after one bad year? Granted it was a really bad year and the pendulum for future success has swung in Bama’s direction, but are they going to find someone dramatically better?

To hell with Auburn for firing Tuberville. I didn’t really care for the guy, but he loses his first Iron Bowl since 2001 and they can him?

Who’s fanatical now? I hope those jerks leave the entire Bama family alone from now on because we’ve put up with a lot of criticism for our passion. Hell, we gave second-rate coaches a shot at the job, then gave them four years to have their way with it.

I don’t know, but to think Auburn just fired their most successful coach since Shug Jordan (which makes him practically their second most successful coach in history) ticks me off.

Tommy is the biggest winner here and Auburn is the biggest loser. TT gathered millions from Auburn riding on his OC’s and Bama’s probation and now he gets 6 million to leave that place in shambles.

I don’t care what anyone says about his intelligence, TT has just screwed many, many people in the most conniving way I’ve ever seen.

And people say Saban is bad…

those fake rings now??? haha

Speaking of Ensminger…

His wife came on sports call and said that Steve was out of town recruiting and just happened to be sitting in Raymond Cotton’s living room when she texted him that tommy got fired. What do you think that Raymond’s family had to say about that as Ensminger was leaving their house? Idiots! Who the hell made this decision knowing how it was going to reflect on these recruits. Especially considering that you firing people that are sitting in living rooms when you do it. Morons! Please God hit Jay Jacobs with lightning.

with everyone who wanted to see Tuberville stay so we could get a few more victories against him. Now he leaves with a great W-L record against Bama.

The de-commitments are coming left and right…

Montez Robinson
B.J. Chitty
Raymond Cotton
Terrance Coleman

This is great news for the Tide. We will now get Robinson and Chitty, both previously AU commitments.

I think the SEC (ok you too Bowden) should call on the federal government to step in…..Fannie May and Freddie Mac have destroyed the housing market and the credit companies…BAILOUT!!! The environmentalists have demanded the fuel guzzeling SUV’s of old go away and we start making cars that run on fairy dust, baby farts and elfkin tears (it’s not the Auto Workers Unions..wink wink nudge nudge)……..BAILOUT!!

And NOW!! From the depts of the deep south comes the Nictator!! He’s costing people their jobs Barak!! You need to get down here now! The SEC is crumbling under the mighty force that is Nick Saban. If we look at this the same way Congress is looking at the Auto Industry we can follow the same horrific trend. They say that not only the car guys will lose their jobs, but the suppliers will go under, the little pine scent hanging tree industry will colapse…THAT’S NOTHING!!

Follow the Sabanation destruction. Saban processes Bowden, Croom (actually hate that one and refuse to bad mouth a Bama boy…but), Fat Phill and Tubby. Right off the bat the 14 writers that proclaim the ACC is back to dominance loose their jobs. They are forced to take lower paying jobs reporting on middle school hopscotch tournamnets and the economy suffers!! The 400 tons of orange material it takes to cover Fulmer in the Orangeness that is is outfit is no longer needed. The Tennessee economy suffers a huge hit as does the dental industry who can now no longer afford to protect the “Big Orange 3” teeth in the mouths of the 400 seamstresses. And in Auburn the mass exodus of fans leaving the area has left the town empty, nothing but waste and depression. No jobs, no fun, no intellectual community to discuss events and policy, just a small sad town hanging on to a waste of a football team for salvation…..Wait it was like that before….Sorry!!

BARAK WE NEED YOU!

Hope……….(Nick didn’t cause you too much pain this year SEC)
Change………(Your underpants Florida we’re coming for you next!)
Now………(The domination can begin a’ight?)
