Because Tuscaloosa/Northport area is so cosmopolitan

I thought this as well when I was a teenager who had never lived there and only visited once.
Having lived near Auburn and near Tuscaloosa, there isn't much difference other than Auburn has better schools and a better restaurant scene. Opelika is to Auburn what Northport is to Tuscaloosa.

That is why it is the second fastest growing area in the state behind Huntsville. Why it has the second best school system behind Mountain Brook. And it’s growth is not because they are offering the moon to out of state students to increase enrollment to 40k. T-town has actually become a town where they pay people to live. lol.

am correct. Sorry to spoil your narrative. That also helps explain why they are still in the area.
BTW, Bowden also resigned. Chizik still the only of the four that was terminated by Auburn.
Forced out and fired is the same thing.

Again, it may be semantics, but it is not the same thing. Bowden quit midseason because he wasn't given a guarantee he'd be back. Auburn boosters again approached another coach behind Tuberville's back which voided his contract and entitled him to a buyout and he took it and ran.

Not necessarily. He resigned when boosters violated the terms of his contract again.
Ol’ Tubbs sure liked those boosters when they were helping him frick Ole Missus though, didn’t he?

You know how to fill in the blanks.

It was transparent and everyone knew that Tubberville was fired. But Auburn man Jay Jacobs lied to try and save face and y’all believe it.
He “resigns” and still gets a buyout. Lol.

Tubs was fired. He got his buyout with an agreement to call it a resignation so Auburn wouldn't contest the terms of the buyout. The only Coach who didn't get fired was Dye, but he was told he didn't have the same support that he had on the BOTs. He admits that he made a mistake by not trying to fight the NCAA and some on the BOTs.

I've explained why. Maybe learn to read a little, retard. His buyout (paid by private funds) was the result of boosters approaching another coach behind his back.
I'm sorry you are too ignorant to understand.

Why are you making an issue of this ? How many coaches "resign" when they do not have another position lined up ?
Did Stallings get fired or did he resign ? How about Mike Shula ? Like I said, the only three coaches that I know really resigned from their jobs was Dye, Spurrier (SC) and Meyer.

Because it’s funny to me that some get angry over the implication that things didn’t happen the way of the official school line. Look at the responses. Happens at Bama and all fanbase by the way...I have no illusions about that. In fact, Bama fans can be worse than most at buying the company line no matter how improbable.
Stallings did retire. But the AD was a jackass and drove Him to it. Stallings wouldn’t have been fired after 96, but the AD did challenge him to make offensive staff changes after the loss to Mississippi State. Shula was FIRED.

I do not think Stallings wanted to leave. Being forced out is almost the same as being fired. In Dye's case he did not fight it because he knew he had lost his support, but he could have survived it with a good following year. Which they would have had. It is a regret he still has today.

Stallings likely would have stayed a few more years if he had gotten along with the AD.
I always thought Dye retired too early. I’m glad he did though.

What makes a school system, "best"? Is it really the schools or the parents of the kids? Anyway...
Tuscaloosa has benefited from UA's generous scholarships to both in and out of state students, yes, but don't pretend that Auburn has not been offering generous scholarships as well. They are not quite as generous as UA's but they are generous and Auburn has been trying to increase its enrollment of out of state students as well. Auburn started copying UA's approach to enrollment growth, to some extent, in the late 2000s. The rise in Auburn's enrollment correlates with its increased funding of scholarships.
But the increase in Auburn's growth should be viewed in context. It is still smaller than Tuscaloosa, by 36,000 people, according to latest stats. The growth in both cities in total numbers has been similar, but of course, the percentage growth in Auburn is bigger because the town is already significantly smaller in size. see LINK

I think both felt like telling the higher ups to just screw it, instead of fighting with the money people. Both gave their Universities more than they got in return. I know Dye lost Lowders support, but I never understood how Little Bear didn't come to Stallings side. You heard a lot about how Drummond sided against him.

Plus he didn't even try to match Saban in recruiting and don't think he had the desire too.
