come on, that's pretty funny...

[Mephistopheles]

you're right. me and imb! just like insulting each other. but in truth we love each other.

[Guest]

Steve Sarkisian to be the new head coach at Washington.

 

I can't believe they couldn't find anyone better. And sadly, that helps USC.

For those of you bashing Tuberville, I heard something interesting today. I am not one who claims "sources", least of all at Auburn, but I do know a alumni/booster at Auburn who told me some behind the scenes reasons why Tuberville resigned. I am not at liberty to expound on what I heard, but IF there's truth to what was told me, then I respect Tuberville immensely for resigning.

 

Immensely.

Why would you tease something like that?

 

Seriously, what is the point?

The only thing I've heard is that they told him to fire his entire staff or leave. So basically he fell on his sword instead of killing all his captains.

You're not one for using sources. You're also not one for telling us crap.

Think about this for a sec...

 

He had no problem firing Borges, and he had no problem firing Franklin. The defense was not the source of the problem, and if he's fired two Offensive Coordinators in less than a year, do you really think that staff changes were the issue? I'm not saying that I am right, but that is not the reasoning I heard today.

Sorry. If I were at liberty to explain it, I would. However, since I only have the word of one alumni/booster, I don't think it would be very responsible on my part to divulge the info. I'll ask and see if there is any reason to keep it under my hat.

[OleMissCub]

Hmmmm, perhaps he is sick? Tommy T didn't look to be himself when I saw him on the sidelines on TV this year. Looked thinner than usual.

 

Although I suppose that wouldn't be something to get pushed out over.

It sounds like bad stuff is going on with higher-ups at Auburn. I don't have a clue what, but my guess would be that there's some shady dealing going on behind the scenes at Auburn and Tuberville got out. Again, though, I don't have any info whatsoever.

 

By the way Hosak, give me a reason, if you would, to not be bothered by Kiffin not wanting Tajh Boyd. We need help at QB and Boyd, though he's not a terrific pocket passer right now, is a talented QB who could likely be as good or better than any QB on our roster. It worries me that Kiffin couldn't tweak his offense a bit to keep the door open for a very good, athletic QB.

Regardless of what you may be hearing, Tuberville was NOT pushed out. Sure, there are boosters out there who wanted him gone, but the decision was his, and his alone.

 

Again, I don't claim sources ever, and I'm not a rumor-monger at all. I am not even certain that the info I've been given is 100% accurate, so that's another part of the reason why I'm holding onto what I've heard for now.

I don't mind it for a couple of reasons, which I will get into in a second. But, I have to give respect to a coach who calls a recruit and tells him that his scholarship offer still stands, but that he doesn't think he'll be as successful in his system as in another... especially on the heels of an all out QB disaster this year. Plus, there are rumors that Boyd's dad may be another "Juicy" Locke.

 

From what I understand, Kiffin may feel like he has a quality QB already on the roster. Keep in mind that Cutcliffe felt the same way- he was super high on Coleman. Enough to let a Top 250 QB leave the state and go to Wisconsin.

 

Also, I think Kiffin is extremely high on 2010 recruit Philip Simms. It is my understanding that Kiffin believes that what we currently have is capable of winning in this conference, and that we can afford to wait. Simms is who he is apparently waiting for. TIFWIW.

 

Also, I am hearing some stuff from players families regarding why certain players did not play and how the underclassmen felt about Fulmer. It does not sound good, and if what this sibling and uncle (of two different players) are saying is true, Fulmer helped dig his own grave.

Thanks. That's interesting, hopefully he's right about Coleman but last year's play from all three gives me exactly zero confidence any of them can compete, much less win, in the SEC.

 

Is Phillip Simms related at all to Phil and Chris Simms? I would assume so, but hadn't heard a thing about him.

 

Finally, am I just being paranoid or are we bringing in a bunch of recruiters and no coaches? The more I think about it we've got Lane Kiffin (awesome recruiter, questionable coach), David Reaves (great recruiter, coached the SC QB debacle) and are about to bring in Ed Orgeron (awesome recruiter, terrible, terrible coach). The other names I've heard you mention are in much the same vein as these guys, awesome recruiters but questionable coaches. We saw what a great recruiter and terrible coach can do in the SEC (Ole Miss under Orgeron).

 

Maybe I'm paranoid, but it worries me a bit.

No. Phillip Simms is a black quarterback from Virginia. A top QB in 2010.

 

I woulnd't be too paranoid about the coaching staff just yet. Orgeron is actually an excellent defensive line coach. OMC will tell you... great Captain, terrible General. Monte is going to be a stellar coach as well.

 

Truth be told, however, it will likely be 2010 before we really know what we have. If we lose 8 games next year, that will be attributed to the lack of talent left behind. If we win 8, it will likely be due to a weaker schedule. 2010 will tell the story, but I think we've got the right guy.

I hope you're right. And I like the emphasis being put on bringing in strong recruiters, I just hope it's not going so far that we forget these guys need to be able to coach, too.

[SpongeWorthy]

Interesting that Sarkisian is taking the UW job.

 

Perhaps more interesting is if Pete will go after a guy that'll continue the pro-style offense or someone to with a spread background.

[Guest]

When did Tuberville win one? He got robbed of a deserved chance in 2004, but I don't remember him winning another.

 

I'm in the minority I'm sure, but I personally consider Auburn to have won a National Championship in 2004. It's the SEC homer in me, I suppose.

 

It was one of the biggest travesties the BCS has wrought yet. It should have been USC and Auburn in that game.

 

Why? Because Oklahoma ended up getting beat down in the title game? I don't remember anybody complaining about Auburn getting left out of the title game (in terms of them being more deserving, not that there should be a playoff) before it happened. Also, if Oklahoma loses that game by a touchdown, nobody is complaining either. USC and Oklahoma were regarded as the top two teams in the nation going into the year and everybody wanted to see the matchup between the two at the end of the year.

 

Also, people thought Auburn deserved to get a share of the National Title, they would have gotten plenty of first place votes. Instead, they got 3 in the AP poll and none in the Coaches Poll. USC the year before (when they were the 1-loss team that got left out) got 48 of the 65 AP votes and was ranked first after the bowls.

 

Well they got none in the Coaches poll because that poll has a committment with the BCS. Whoever wins the BCS Title game gets a unanimous vote for the best team in the final Coaches poll.

 

That said, I agree with you. I think it was pretty evident that USC and Oklahoma were the two best teams in the nation all year long that season. It wasn't until after the BCS Title Game (or right after Mark Bradley did one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a football player do) that people were clamoring for Auburn to get their fair share.

 

I realize the first part, but in 2003 USC got three first place votes in the coaches poll even though LSU won the BCS National Title game. I thought I put that in my first post but it would appear that I didn't.

[snoodmonger]

Sounds like KU to the Insight Bowl. or "The Out of Sight" Bowl, since it'll be on the NFL network and about nine people will get to watch it.

Respect and Tuberville do NOT belong in the same sentence. This guy is the master of the cheap shot. I don't care if he was fired or forced to resigned, I'm glad he's gone. This is a guy who once whined about Saban leaving LSU/Miami for more money, yet it was Tuberville who once said he wouldn't leave Ole Miss unless it was in a "Pine Box," then turn around and took the AU (ie more money). Then you have Tuberville lead teams being the master of the illegal chop block. His assistant coaches wives calling radio shows and making slanderious remarks about Nick Saban, and then "the fingers." Sorry, I cannot respect the man. The only thing positive about Ears I can say is this: Atleast he's away from Bobby Lowder.

does it have to do with the sister-in-law of a Cincinnati Reds pitcher?
