Guns Up!!

Love it, we just won the Natty ship, had a top ranked class on all services, still in a battle with the #1 OT in the nation and we still take shots at Tubs.   

Tubs is da debil.

I didn't bring him up but since someone did, that's my view. I think winning the nc and bringing in back to back top 5 classes proves my point.

Chad - I think its safe to say Chiz had a lot of work to do in yr 1 to de-tubs Auburn so I would afford him the same leeway. In fact he probably had more on his plate. Remember the depth chart in 2009? Now, look at it. Yeah, I'd say he worked his ass off.

Tubs is da debil.

And I like Vicki, and she like me back!

Prowler just can't help himself.  He's that damn myopic.

My point is, thank him for his time, what he did to de-bowden the team, wish him well and look at what is going on now.

Agree man. I hadn't really given him much thought lately before this thread

[The Prowler]

I haven't given him much thought since Coach Chizik said that we are going after the Top players in the Country regardless...our coaches don't understand the word "no", they're going to keep coming back.  Breath of Fresh Air right there.

And I like Vicki, and she like me back!

and she showed me her boobies and I like dem too

Precisely. 

I hate (and will battle to the bitter end) those who take any opportunity to bash him.  He was at AU 10 years.  He gave us some great ones.  Does no one remember the discussion of whether Auburn was in its greatest era that came along about 2006?  Nobody recalls the demands to name something after him at about the same time the field was being named for Dye?  No recollection of the debate over whether Tuberville was, in fact, the greatest of all modern-era coaches (I argued for Dye in that one, my memory can be hazy but some of the current bashers may have been the very same arguing for his elevation during that phase). 

Historical perspective.  Some lack it.  I has it.

All I want is for us (collectively) to stop acting like immature punk ass brats.  Give the man his due, thank him for the foundation he built at Auburn -- a foundation that helped us win the national championship, BTW -- and hope he enjoys success and happiness where he goes from here.  No ill will.  No need for it.

I never had a problem with Tuberville and I still like him.  I think it was just time to part ways.  I appreciate everything he did for us.  Some of his assistant coaches on the other hand...

You shut your dirty whorish non-BBQ tasting mouth.

But, I was never invited... And apparently neither were the WR's at the time...to any practice.

[AUTailgatingRules]

My biggest problem with Tubs was his incessant flirting with the next best job out there.  Whether this was media driven, agent driven, or he had actual interest, I got tired of spending the end of his last 4-5 years wondering if he was going to still be our coach. 

Thanks for the 2004 and the streak but I'm glad he (and all his drama) are gone.  Good luck at TT, I'm sure if you have a few good seasons you will be stringing TT along every year as well.

Pfft...they were at blocking practice every day.

Now where's my slow clap when I need it.




Oh, here it is......

When your AD is visibly not in your corner and you're looking over your shoulder?  Cuts both ways. 

Was Tuberville a true AU man?  I wasn't his best friend, but I know enough, saw enough and was told enough to know that he wanted to be.  He was happy there, his family was happy there.  The shit in 2003 was wrong, the wrong people took the heat and from that point on the relationship was frosty.  Administration made it pretty clear they weren't going to reach across the table and embrace him.  And he went insular. 

Shit happens.  I would have been fine with him going in 2003 if they'd done it right.  Kudos to Tuberville for enduring that and emerging stronger.  But even after 2004, the relationship didn't warm.   

If you know your boss is biding time, waiting for you to screw up just enough for him to fire you and not make everybody else where you work mad, how would you handle it? 

When did you know Gene Chizik was going to be head coach at Auburn, Jay?
The day he left for Texas. 

That tells me all I need to know.
