[Red_Tsunami]

The spread is dead.

Two recruiting years are down the crapper.

But but but...the barners said he was better than some crappy coach from Fresno! Surely he CAN'T be gone if he is better than McElwain!

Barn will probably go to power football this week..........against Ark that may result in 350 yards! BArners will proclaim to be back to norm :lol:

Supposedly, Vanderbilt stopped their run game somewhat. Appartently, that is why they switched back to the spread in the 2nd half.

I didn't watch the game, just going on what I have read on boards.

If Vanderbilt can stop their running attack, I am not so sure, at all, that they will get 350 on the ground against anyone with a pulse.

Maybe against Arkansas, I will concede that.

Tubs has confirmed it...24 hours ago, committed to the spread.

So, I guess what he said Saturday about drastic changes, which he denied Monday, was true.

 

[BamaJay73]

LOL!
Perfect.

Seriously, I do hate this. If there is an ounce of integrity in Tuberville's body, he'll place a call to Franklin right now, invite him back, hug him, and apologize. Never give up on the spread. Ever.

I am getting text messages already from all my Auburn friends, " Watch out Bama!"

Does not necessarily mean they have abandoned the Spread offense - although I think it probably has. Just that they have abandoned this particular guru.

If they stay with the system, would not be surprised to hear that the old coach from Hoover HS is brought in to run the system.

In light of today's events, I encourage you all to go to al.com and read Scarbinsky's column for today. Oh the irony.

Watch out for what? A team that has to completely redesign its offense that it's worked on an entire year?

No, Terry. That would make him a liar. Tuberville IS NOT a liar. :roll:

This couldn't have been his decision anyway. He was just on ESPN's Gameday set a few days ago telling how much HS recruits loved the that spread offense of theirs. Loved it!

There's got to be more behind this than meets the eye. Firing your OC midway thru he season? That just doesn't make any sense. There must have been some type of confrontation between Tubs and Franklin today.

Watch out for what? They still don't have a QB. Who's going to call their plays??? They are going to have a real crappy recruiting season.

 

[Guest]

Wow, I just got a call from my mother-in-law in Auburn. She said the players will be meeting in 15 mins.

How do you hire a guy in December and fire him mid-season of his 1st season????? And what about all that hullabuloo about not yet having the players to run your system?

Wow, I'm shocked and a little disappointed.
