Tubs will be at Auburn next year....period. Slimebaum is the main culprit in spreading the Tubs rumors. In any event, as I have said in another thread here. I will cover all reasonable bets on Tubs leaving.
Wow, I find myself defending Finebaum.
He's as far away from the one who is the culprit of this story as one could be. It started on Texas A&M forums, then spread to the national media. Look around, you'll find it on just about every major sports media outlet. I seriously, seriously doubt they make a habit of listening to Finebaum in order to have content for their stories.
Whether you like the idea or not, it's clear aTm is making a run at Tubs.
You mention bets...I'd be willing to be that Lowder won't be in support of matching a contract if aTm comes across with one. I'd also be willing to bet, because I know the firm behind the search, Tubs will listen. He'll still be able to say that neither he nor Sexton has talked with aTm.
If you look at the picture in its entirety, you can find several reasons for the move. Whether it happens or not? Fact is, no one knows except those making the moves behind the scenes.
