Tommy Can You Hear Us?
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician — Tommy Tuberville is out at Auburn.  We need a coach.  Just sayin'. Tuberville was 85-40 in 10 years at Auburn, and is 110-60 in 14 years as a college head coach. His final season at Auburn ended with a 36-0 loss to Alabama last Saturday to finish off a disappointing 5-7 record. The loss ended a six-year winning streak against Tuberville's biggest rival. It was a tough year for Auburn but let's face it.  That Auburn team still probably could have gone at least 7-5 in the Big East this season.  And ...

Houston Nutt: This Is the Hardest Time Ever to Be a College Football Coach
Larry Brown Sports — Maybe Houston Nutt knew something about Tommy Tuberville before the rest of us did, but there’s no doubt that the recent climate amongst college football coaches has been murky at best. Seems like guys are getting fired at a rapid pace and that there is less and less patience, and higher and higher expectations. While I may call out coaches if I believe they’re doing a poor job, I always believe you must be able to hire a better coach than the one you’re firing to warrant the change. I’m on the record saying Mississippi State can’t do better than Sylvester Croom, and that ...

Strange But True: Nick Saban is Upset with Trigger-Happy SEC Schools Firing Good Coaches
The Big Lead — A third SEC coach left the building yesterday when Auburn’s Tommy Tuberville, who guided the Tigers to an unbeaten season in 2004, resigned. The Birmingham News was the first to break the resignation, but there were a couple radio reports earlier in the day that strongly hinted it was over. It seemed like he was forced out. Major surprise? Depends on your point of view. Tuberville had done terrific things for the program in 10 years, but college football’s what-have-you-done-for-me-lately mentality pointed the finger at offensive struggles for three straight seasons. It didn’t help that their in-state ...
