Gus will be fine at Auburn. He's already played for a MNC.

The bigger question is why didn't Arkansas or Tennessee hire Tuberville?

In addition to the fact that he was perfectly fine with his agent dangling his name as a candidate for every college football head coaching job that came available.

Tuberville would have been better off at Arkansas.

He would have made them competitive much faster, especially Tennessee.

Because he refused to be a lapdog for Pat Dye, Bobby Lowder, and Jimmy Rane.

Continual success?!?! I'm 36 years old...Bama was trash in the 80's, decent from 89-94, ran off Gene, and had the 3-Mike debacle...until Saban came in. 2008-2012 was great to you, I'll give you that. Georgia had Herschel...and then a couple years under Richt. That's it. So continual success is an overstatement...better yet it's just a flat-out LIE.
He probably should have reworded that sentence.

Historical success at the two primary rivals will cause a neurosis of which there is no cure.

AU stays in perpetual motion, depserately trying to keep up.

This.

When Chizik was hired, Pat Dye was front and center. A reporter asked him how he felt about the hire he said, "I haven't felt as welcome in this facility in a long, long time."

When has Georgia historically been more successful than Auburn?

Pat Dye wanted a say in the football operations.Tubs told him to gtfo. Dye had Bobby Lowder and JJacobs ear. The first time he could he made the case to run Tubby off they did.
Chiz was someone Dye was in love with for a number of reasons. One being he would have a say in the foot ball program.
Dye was a regular on F-bomb and sang the praises of the greatest of Chiz. Even the year of the collapse.

Better question: if Tubs was so great, why did he end up at Texas Tech? And left there for Cincinnati?

Tubs' overall winning percentage at AU was .6800 - meanwhile, Curry's was .7222 at Bama, and he had the same number of SEC Championships in 3 seasons that Tubs had in 10.

We let Tubs go for the same reasons Bama let Curry go. The people in charge decided it was time for a change, for better or worse. Turned out both better AND worse.

That said, we Boogs don't need any of you stupid bastards from other fanbases to tell us we're run by a bunch of inbred GOBs who are more interested in throwing their weight around and rewarding their cronies than making sound, rational, responsible decisions regarding our football program. We know that already.

What I'd REALLY like to know is why you think your favorite SEC school operates any differently.

They panicked when Saban came to Alabama. Tubberville was a great coach and a great guy. He had a lot of issues going on at Auburn in his personal life that were never made public.
