Seriously? Seriously? You’ve forced Tommy Tuberville to resign? 4 years removed from a perfect season, 2 years removed from an 11-2 season and a resume that includes 4, nine-win seasons since 1999, you let him leave?.....And replace him with who? You, as a school and as a program more than disappoint me. Your offensive coordinator leaves before the bowl game last year, bringing in a new coordinator who doesn’t last even half the season. You continue the season with no real offensive game plan this year and expect your head coach to succeed.
After 6 seasons of 9+ wins.
AFTER 6 SEASONS OF 9+ WINS.
Let that sink in.
After flying in Bobby Petrino via covert-ops 2 years ago (How’s he doing now?) only to apologize for your backstabbing dealings and subsequently signing Tuberville to an extension you decided it’s time to find greener pastures and lead the program in a ‘different direction.’
So you mean winning more, right? I mean that’s what letting any coach go, with similar credentials, means when you get down to it.
And this new coach, this magical football genius is going to take over and win more, right?
Well, that would be impossible because of the 119 D-I (it will always be D-I to me) programs, only USC with Pete Carroll has done a better job by the numbers.
1 out of 119 or 0.84%.
Ugh.
No one in this economy (or any economy) would invest in that possibility.
Now I understand the politics and economics of college football. I understand the 'what have you done for me lately concept (will the real Larry Coker please stand up?).' And most of all I understand crazy, delusional, 'fire the bum' fans.
What I don't understand is how you eat $6 million of what Tuberville is owed and then find a coach who can win 70% of his games over 10 years in the SEC.
I don't understand it because it doesn't exist.
Enjoy your fantasy, Auburn!
