Get over it. The high ups at Auburn went behind his back in 2003 and then fired him to hire Chizik. It is almost a slap in the face to replace him with Chizik as Tubberville has been considered one of the best coaches in the country over the past decade. He earned that $5 million way before he was gone from Auburn. That is fricking business. Auburn recruits in a very odd set up and he landed such recruits as Williams, Jacobs, Brown, Rodgers, Campbell, and Dansby. That is just the tip of the ice berg of good players he coached.
From everything I have ever heard he was a players coach. I guess I could be wrong.
He took a jab at the cancer that actually runs the athletic programs.
I think Chizik will be good, but they should have hired Turner Gill.
Auburn wasn't a huge disgrace last year either. They led 9 of their games going into half time. Bama is the only team to really smoke them.

Doesn't matter, it's bad manners to speak ill of anyone that gives you 5 million.

Ding Ding Ding! Tommy Tuberville has every right to say whatever the frick he wants to about Auburn. He treated the University with 10x the respect he was given over his tenure. The entire time he was there, he was constantly looking over his shoulder at who was gonna frick him over next.
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. Auburn University did Tommy Tuberville wrong on so many levels, it is disgusting. Whether or not he lost his desire is a completely opposite debate, but this guy was more of an "Auburn Man" than you or I will ever be.
I know we've had our back and forths before, but with all do respect, GFY on this one AUcatfish!
