Is Mike Leach Ready To Leave Or Is It A Bargaining Chip?

... Leach than Texas Tech. He can be quirky, OK let's be honest, he can be completely odd at a school out in the middle of nowhere that has never had the level of success he's brought. So why would he want to leave? Leach reportedly flew to Seattle to meet with Washington officials about their opening and it's being reported that Auburn has reached out to people close to Leach to gauge his interest in succeeding Tommy Tuberville, who sources say has been fired after 10 years. Texas Tech athletic director Gerald ...

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).
You're Fired!

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. ESPN reported that Tuberville met with Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs today and learned of his fate. Tuberville won multiple national coach of the year awards after the Tigers went 13-0 in 2004. Unfortunately for Auburn, there were three undefeated teams in BCS conferences that year, and the Tigers had to settle for beating Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl while USC and Oklahoma played in the national championship game. Overall, Tuberville went ...
The Most Shocking Story Ever
Rumors and Rants —
Brace yourself for something shocking. You won’t believe it because it’s about the last coach you’d ever expect. You might want to sit down. Ready? Okay.
Tommy Tuberville is (reportedly) out as Auburn’s coach.
Are you okay? Do you need a minute? I know you couldn’t possibly see this coming. Auburn has had so much success in 2008 it’s really quite amazing the athletic department would think to get rid of him. The Tigers have modernized their offense and had a seamless transition to the spread, new OC ...
Tuberville Out At Auburn
Sports Blog - football, basketball, and baseball —
Tommy 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, ...

... Oklahoma State, Oklahoma or Texas. It was going to happen. Even if they are better, they'll never get the credit and they'll always be third fiddle in the Big XII South and probably sixth or seventh fiddle in terms of recruiting in Oklahoma and Texas. So after the OU loss, I have been convinced Leach is leaving. And action is taking place. 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 ...
