8-4 every year? Did 2004 not happen? 2006?

Tuberville put together an excellent program at Auburn. The BOT and boosters fricked him over and he panicked with the hiring of Saban with his hire of Tony Franklin.

It's funny how people always devalue recruiting when they evaluate a college coach. The only reason why Tuberville was able to have the success he had at Auburn was due to Alabama being crippled by NCAA sanctions and coaching turnover. Once Bama was finally able to get their act together, his poor recruiting got completely exposed. In 2008, the state of Alabama was absolutely stacked with high quality talent such as Julio Jones, Mark Barron, Courtney Upshaw and Marcell Dareus among others and Tubs missed out on pretty much all of them.
