On talking to Auburn athletics since leaving

quote:

He hasn't talked to Athletics Director Jay Jacobs since the day he resigned in December. He hasn't talked to new coach Gene Chizik even once. Nobody called Tuberville to ask where the keys to the closet might be, or for the background of a player.



On ESPN

quote:

``They do control sports,'' he said last week. "But a lot of what I said was about comments from certain people. At the time, we had just lost a five-overtime game to LSU. I'm sure this year I'll say some things that maybe other people won't say. I understand it from the other side. ESPN wants your opinion. Other people may not like it, but it is all entertainment.''

That means he might have to critique SEC coaches.



On the Iron Bowl

quote:

He critiqued the bitterness of the fans in the Auburn-Alabama rivalry.

``It's just neither of them wants to see the other do well,'' Tuberville said. ``But that's what drives college football in this state. You miss the rivalry, but you don't miss that game because there's so much weight on your shoulders.''

His last game was his worst in 10 years as Alabama beat Auburn 36-0.

``You could feel it going into that stadium that night. They could
smell blood
,'' he said.


Actually a pretty good article overall and not all bad about Auburn.

Just had to accentuate the Auburn negatives.

good, he destroyed our depth and program. He does not deserve to be around for a while until our program is back in top 25.

Nope. He resigned.

We've only fired three coaches since 1959. So there!
