Oh it absolutely did. Tubbs being destroyed 36-0 certainly didn't HELP his case to stay as Auburn HC. Better damn well believe if he had continued beating Bama, he would have stayed at Auburn. Any other belief is delusion. Same with Fulmer. His entire career was built on beating Alabama while they were in probation.
You can lay a partial claim on Fulmer, even though he was 11-6 vs. Bama, but you're delusional if you think Bama had anything to do with Tubbs or Croom.
Tubbs was 7-3 vs. Bama, including 6 in a row prior to his last season. He wasn't fired because of one loss.
Croom was 2-3 vs. Bama, including 2 in a row before his last season. He wasn't fired because of losses to Bama. He was fired for being 2-3 in the Egg Bowl with 2 embarrassing losses and for never beating LSU.

Beating Alabama is a season saver. It's a huge notch on a resume. You're downplaying Alabama's importance not only in the SEC, but nationally. These guys got fed and fat off of cheap wins over Bama when the program was at its absolute lowest point.
It's no surprise to any competent individual that they were fired soon after losing to Bama. All of the programs in the SEC compare themselves to and strive to be Alabama. When they see they are falling behind, they make a change. Get real buddy.

Fulmer 11-6 vs Bama
Exactly. It was all gravy while we were down. He was a god. Most of those wins came against probation riddled Bama teams. Bad Bama teams. It wasn't like he was winning the SEC every year, no of course not. Beating Alabama kept the masses happy and kept his job safe.
Saban shows up, promptly whips his fat arse in 07 and 08, and Fulmer is shown the door. That isn't speculation, it's a fact.
