I would disagree, to a point, with this. Tuberville's actions after the 2007 season, the whole "I'm duck-hunting not looking at the UArk job, and ignoring recruiting thing was at best disingenuous. While he played the university for more money, Nick Saban, you know that evil fricker in T-town, was out recruiting his arse off. After Jetgate, Tubs was given the keys to the kingdom, he wasn't looking over his shoulder, he had it locked up.

I'm an alumni who gives to both academics and athletics, and will continue to support Auburn until I can no longer afford to. That being said, I'm not gonna join the typical bandwagon status quo of bashing any ex-coach.
Ditto here. I am an alumnus and I give to both TUF and otherwise. But unlike you, and I frankly take offense to being called "bandwagon", I will bash a coach that does not put Auburn first. Yeah, I know, he is not from Auburn, and probably in all honesty doesn't give a flying frick at a rolling doughnut about Auburn, it was just a job, plain and simple. I, on the other hand, love Auburn University with all of my heart and soul, so I feel that I am duty bound to call someone out that does something that hurts my university. Tubs had no right or justification to say what he said. It was an asshat move plain and simple.
quote:
but this guy was more of an "Auburn Man" than you or I will ever be.
No, he's not. He was a coach that we hired away from Ole Miss, after making the infamous "Pine Box" speech. He is no more an Auburn Man than a bama fan that is hired to work in the electrical department at AU. He was an "Auburn Man" when it suited his purposes. My question to you would be....If Auburn loses every game this season, are you still an Auburn Man? Yes, you will be, you will still love Auburn, just like I will. Tuberville doesn't care about Auburn, he doesn't care about alum's like you, or me or any other swinging dick out there. He was doing a job, end of story.
quote:
but with all do respect, GFY on this one AUcatfish!
That's fine, if that's your opinion, so be it. But let me ask you something......who is more likely to help you out or support our university or support our athletic teams? Tommy Tuberville "True Auburn Man"? Or Auburn men and women who have been supporting AU for years, who have sat through the Doug Barfield years, and the last years of Dye or the 2008 season? You can tell me to go frick myself, perhaps I am too old and too sentimental, I actually believe in the Auburn Creed, I believe in Auburn and love it. And I will do everything in my power to protect my alma mater, even if it offends people like yourself. Don't take this the wrong way, I am not attacking you or your beliefs, if that's the way you feel, God bless you. I think you're wrong, but it doesn't matter, you're an Auburn man and that I respect.

So what should I do? Get rid of my season tickets? Burn down the Haley Center? Get a fricking grip on yourself gumpy, I support Chizik because he is the head coach of my alma mater, a coach that hasn't even had a game yet. Talk to me in 6 weeks, perhaps my opinion will have changed.

Call a mother fricker out then. If that includes your suggestions then so be it. You know it was a crap hire just as much as any other blind and deaf Chinese immigrant does.

At the time, I did. I was against the hire, questioned it, complained to the AD about it. Now is the time for me, and IMHO, all Auburn men and women to get behind Coach Chizik and staff. Bitching about at this point is fruitless.

FWIW, I agree. I just wanted you to admit it.

Anybody that says Chizik was #1 on their list is full of shite. I will say that if Auburn for some reason had hired him 2 years ago, before he went to Iowa State, it would be proclaimed as a great hire.
We'll just have to see, I honestly feel better now, than I did when he was first hired.

2 years ago, Tuberville was in the middle of a raise and a contract extension.

Yeah, and Chizik was being proclaimed as the "Next Can't Miss Coach".

So, replacing Tuberville with Chizik 2 years ago would have been cool with the fans at that point?

No, not saying that. Just pointing out that people like yourself love waving the 5-19 Iowa State record, Chizik sucks ect. Two years ago, he was a can't miss coach.

Look, you have to be honest, even the Bahr would have had a tough time winning in Ames, Iowa.

True, but Paul Rhoads is 100%.

Chizik was 1-0 after the first game as well.

Yeah....I'm going to have to go with GOBAMA90 on this one - Tuberville was one of the best coaches in the SEC, you don't just replace him with a "can't miss" because a lot of "can't miss" eventually end up as "misses". To wit:
Charlie Weiss
Ty Willingham (stanford)
