This is probably Germans, but is it possible that Tubbs....

was getting fricked with by the Auburn administration before the start of the year and just gave them the lousy 2008 season as a way of saying, "I can build it up or I can break it down", then at the end of the season just said, "You'll pay me to leave or it will only get worse from here?"

I was talking with one of my neighbors who is an alum of Auburn and he said his circle of friends in Alabama are almost certain that's what Tubbs did.
