I agree he got jobbed I hope Auburn struggles for a while I don't think he was the issue.

[JLEW1818]

Yep, and I think the ND job will be available after Crispy Cream boy blows another season.

Why anyone would take that job is beyond me.

Why anyone would take that job is beyond me.

Croom took it to prove that he could be a viable coach in the SEC. That seemed like a pretty solid reason, especially after the way his alma mater treated his candidacy for their job opening.

Other reasons include "to gain experience en route to a better job," or "to make lots of money," or "because of the great Bulldog football tradi... oh, wait."

[bluedogok]

OK, I don't know why an "established" coach would take the job, but it still seems to me that it is close to a no win position. They were decent under Jackie Sherrill, but he was at a point in his career that no one else would hire him. Maybe they could hire Mackovic.....

I think Tupperware would be dangerous in college station

I don't see Ears going anywhere anytime soon, other than to the bank to cash his $6mil buyout check. If he ever does decide to get back into coaching, which I am not sure he will, I think he would be a really good fit at a middle tier school like Texas AM or Clemson, neither of which have a job opening-- yet....

I guess Auburn's got deep pockets. I wonder how Auburn fans feel about the prez and AD giving TT 5.1 mil after resigning when they didn't have to if he resigned as this column states.
AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville's job was not in jeopardy when he decided to step down and he declined several requests from his bosses to reconsider, athletic director Jay Jacobs said Thursday.



Jacobs said Tuberville's departure after 10 mostly successful seasons was "completely his decision" and that the coach would be leading the Tigers next season if he had not chosen to leave.

"To say the least, I was a little shocked," the AD said. "But after three times of asking him would he change his mind, he convinced me that the best thing for him and his family and for this football program was for him to possibly take a year off and take a step back.

"I asked him three times (to reconsider), and so did the president," he said.

Jacobs said he and the president agreed to pay Tuberville the buyout price of $5.1 million -- even though it was not required since he wasn't fired -- because they felt it was "the right thing to do."

Tuberville resigned Wednesday afternoon during the third day of meetings with Jacobs and, at times, university president Jay Gogue, following the Tigers' 5-7 season, the worst of the coach's tenure.

Tommy's health isn't too good. I wish him the best. Going undefeated in the SEC is no small feat and he pulled that off.

If he goes to aggieland at least he knows he has nothing to work with.
