Tuberville Out
HeismanPundit.com — According to ESPN, Tommy Tuberville is not returning as Auburn head coach in 2009. So who is Auburn going to hire? Too bad Auburn didn’t do this sooner….they might’ve been able to win the Lane Kiffin sweepstakes. One note:  Has any conference had more coaching turnover in the last three or four seasons than the SEC?  For the most part, the new coaches have been major upgrades (Tennessee and LSU being the only exceptions).

AUBURN FIRES TOMMY TUBERVILLE
NBC Sports - College Football Talk — Auburn has fired head coach Tommy Tuberville, four days after an ugly loss in the Iron Bowl left the Tigers with a 5-7 record.

Overall, Tuberville went ...

Tuberville Out At Auburn
Sports Blog - football, basketball, and baseballTommy Tuberville has been fired from Auburn after 10 years of being the head coach. The Tigers finished 5-7 this season, losing to rival Alabama 36-0 in the Iron Bowl on Saturday. It was the Tigers’ worst loss to the Crimson Tide since a 38-0 defeat in 1962, and ended Auburn’s six-game winning streak against its rival. There are some Auburn fans that might be happy with this, but at some point you gotta give a coach a break. He won 85 games in 10 seasons, won an SEC Title, should’ve been playing for a ...

Tommy Tuberville Fired at Auburn, Coaching Carousel Floodgates Open
The Critical Fanatic — [image] The media reports say that Tommy Tuberville resigned as head coach of Auburn , but that’s just a nice way of saying he was fired. Tuberville’s career record at Auburn, 110-60, does not merit a firing, particularly when you consider his 13-0 season in 2004 that should have resulted in a national title berth. But, his decision to change to the spread offense this offseason, with ZERO personel ready to handle such a move, DOES merit his departure. So now the coaching carousel floodgates are wide open for the second year in a row. We’ve got Washington and Auburn now open, ...

He interviewed yesterday for the Washington job and rumor is that he could be a candidate for the Auburn job now that Tommy Tuberville is out. First off, the Auburn deal is bad news. First off, you go in ...
