re: Gus is 2-10 in his last 12 SEC games

Tubs is the one who was really screwed. After the 2003 plane debacle, he had his contract amended to include restrictions on the hiring activities of boosters and trustees to replace him. When Rane contacted Nutt by circumventing official communications, it invoked a massive penalty and Tommy went away, justto make them pay. Nut shied away, and they ended up with Chizik.

Not 100% true, there was no penalty for the contact, but Tommy could resign and argue he should be paid. It was a weak argument and Tommy eventually left due to family issues and we paid the buyout. Our stupid AD hired Mr. 5-19. In 10 years with Tubs he won 9 or more games 5 times and had one undefeated team. In the 7 years since we have had 2 teams win 9 or more games, Cam Newton and then the 2013 Miracle Season.
