Tubs just gave his opinion on the game on ESPN...

[GH2001]

3 points he made:
** He said we need to first and foremost create short fields.
** We need to take away the run and make McElroy beat us.
** Chris Todd needs to hit 2-3 DEEP DEEP Passes.

Interesting. Did he use this philosophy last year? Kodi said we ran a conservative game plan last year. Hmmmm

I know Kaos hates when people say this, but thanks Tubs for taking 3 yrs off recruiting as Dye said. God, we're gonna need a miracle today.



He also said Georgia's 3-4 D will match up good with against tech's triple option offense, with the MLB on the FB. If Ga contains GT's offense that would be an even bigger miracle than the above one.

[jmar]

No! Todd needs to actually throw 3 touchdown passes and Tate, McCalleb and Fannin need to combine for over 150 yards. Special teams has to pin 'em and we have to force turnovers. Todd and the defense have to play out of their minds, their best in two seasons.











   

[bottomfeeder]

Tubbs has had his fifteen minutes of fame, now it's up to some others to clean up his mess. He really needs to STFU.

[JR4AU]

You Tubs haters should form a club or something...call it the "selective memory club".

His "mess" is a whole lot cleaner than you are willing to admit. We have the players, yesterday should have shown you that.

Simply amazing.

[bottomfeeder]

I'm not going to get into a battle over my opinion of how Tubbs finished his tenure at Auburn. All I can say is I liked the man, but the condition with which he left our team last year was abominable. It's was as if he didn't care anymore. What stuck out the most was how when our offense wouldn't perform that well on a play, he would just wave off at them from the sidelines in disgust. Well, he was the HC and had plenty of time to prepare the team for each game. He didn't do his job so he was replaced. Even people outside of football knew he wanted out and wanted to be paid to leave (selfish). And, he got what he wanted and now needs to STFU. JMHO. That's the end of my diatribe concerning him.

Y'all do realize, he's paid to give these opinions? 

As for him wanting out?  Bammers wanted us to believe that Tubs wanted to be anywhere but Auburn for pretty much the entire time he was our coach.  And, IF he wanted out, and wanted to be paid, can't blame him...have you heard or read some of the ungrateful shit people, AUBURN PEOPLE, write and say about him?  Like he never won shit, and ran the program in the ground a la Terry Bowden? 

[Greaseyweasel]

Where did he run the program into the ground? How would last year have turned out if we had of had a steady hand under center and a less insane OC? But I admit that he did quit after the Vandy loss. He knew he was fired, that those in power who he kept at bay for years finally got the right bullet for their gun. He quit, then got fired and we got fucked by cowards and drunks.

Question.....what guys left due to medical, and what guys were shown the door by Chizik out of the names you listed?

Also, I find one of your "FAILS" amusing.....seeing as how it wasn't even something I said. You made up a quote so you could "FAIL" it. Par for the course. I know, you've already said your logic. Because I voted YES to the poll question "Will Ben Tate cry like a bitch if Alabama beats Auburn?". But even by that standard you didn't even quote what you say I said by voting yes.

I also added the '05 signing class...that was the class that followed the Undefeated '04 season. 54 prospects made it to campus and stayed with the team for more than one year out of a possible 100.  That's what one would call slipping.

Damn, guess I understated the attrition rate in another thread. I said 40%. Looks more like 46%. Yeah, bang up job by Tubs on the recruiting trail.

It may not equal it but it does play a part. 

You can't control what's going to happen in the future when you're recruiting the kids.  It's impossible to know in advance which ones aren't going to put in the work academically, are going to get hurt, are going to decide to leave early, are going to go to Canada or are going to turn into big whining pusses. 

You ask me? If Tuberville made any mistakes recruiting it was in trying to please the retarded "star whores" and taking chances on kids he might not have otherwise recruited.

Exactly.  You don't know which ones will thrive and which ones won't which is why you hedge your bets with percentage guesses.  Even that might not work all the time but the hit rate for the last few classes seems pretty low.  
Maybe that is me looking at it with the benefit of hindsight.

*13 Propsects made it to campus out of 25.  IMO, of those 13 only about 5 have reached SEC type quality*

So in CTT and Co.'s last three years, they only brought in 54 prospects out of a possible 100.  Also of those 54 prospects, IMO, only about 29 have reached SEC type quality.  Of those 29, 5 were not on the team this year because they decided to either leave early or their eligibility ran out.

WOW is all I can say.

You can't control what's going to happen in the future when you're recruiting the kids.  It's impossible to know in advance which ones aren't going to put in the work academically, are going to get hurt, are going to decide to leave early, are going to go to Canada or are going to turn into big whining pusses. 

You ask me? If Tuberville made any mistakes recruiting it was in trying to please the retarded "star whores" and taking chances on kids he might not have otherwise recruited.

Real talk here Kaos.

I usually know a dumbass when I see one. I.e. - Greasy Weasel. So did Tubs not see "the dumbasses" and bad apples that much?? I can see a year of bad attrition but when you see 3-4 years in a row, seeing into the future or not, that falls on the head coach. There are many of these recruits you know about half way into their senior seasons whether they will qualify or not. As far as pleasing the retarded stat whores, Tubs "claimed" until the very end he never looked at stars, so I doubt he was trying to please a bunch of message board goons like us or ESPN analysts.

You're a smart guy and you know I respect your opinion, but you have to know that Tubs took a ton of risks on a lot of these players. More than the norm. Now a lot of these risks are coming home to roost. Was depth THE problem this year? NO. But it was A problem.
