I'm really impressed at how many fired Auburn football coaches live in the Auburn area.

3 out of the 4 coaches let go at Auburn still want to live in this community: Pat Dye, Gene Chizik, and Tommy Tuberville.
The only coach in the last 40 years who is currently not living there is Terry Bowden. He's currently at Auburn with a river (Clemson).
What other SEC schools have that many fired coaches still in the area?

Auburn is a great area to live. It's easy to see why they wouldn't leave.

Fulmer remained in Knoxville until he became the new AD

I know it may be semantics, but Chizik was the only coach you listed that was actually fired.

That is quite a bit. UGA has a lot too, with Dooley, Goff, and Donnan. Mark Richt is actually the only living former UGA head coach that doesn't live in Athens.

I am correct. Sorry to spoil your narrative. That also helps explain why they are still in the area.
BTW, Bowden also resigned. Chizik still the only of the four that was terminated by Auburn.
Dye Quits as Coach at Auburn
Tuberville stepped down Wednesday
Auburn fires Gene Chizik

Tuberville was going to get fired. He stepped down. I have no idea why it matters that much to you. His last game and final season were an absolute shite show. Much like 2012 with Chizik. When Auburn coaches crash and burn, they do it in spectacular style.

Nolan stayed in Fayetteville for life. Nutt came back, but to Little Rock. Of course Broyles stayed, but he fired himself as HC because he was also AD.

Yeah, Tico thinks he's saving face for those guys.

Not necessarily. He resigned when boosters violated the terms of his contract again.

It doesn't, I'm just pointing out a common misconception.

Nothing in my 30 years as an Auburn fan were as bad as 2012. Tuberville fricked-up making a wholesale change in the offense without considering the fallout with that and his coaches. Plus he didn't even try to match Saban in recruiting and don't think he had the desire too.

You left out Doug Barfield who is still there. Great guy who was in a bad situation when he coached.

Random but I stayed at Pat Dye’s hunting camp for the 2010 LSU auburn game. He was fricking awesome and loved to dish out nuggets. He said urban Meyer has never called a play, and tommy tubberville’s wife is a mega whore
He also said Cam Newton was the best athlete he’s ever seen at auburn, and we just laughed our asses off at the idea...yeah, auburn 440 rushing yards later had us quieter than pregame. Super nice guy and major BAW

Dye was forced to quit when the NCAA was knocking on the door

As an Auburn fan I don’t know why I’m so proud of this.

Auburn is one of the best area's to live in the state. I think it was also one of the Top 10 Nationally to retire. It is very close to Atlanta, has a great school system and low property taxes.

Plenty of perqs and friendships go along with a HC job.
When you know where all the bodies are hidden at Auburn, perhaps one retains many of those perqs and settles in for the long haul .
