🏈 Tubberville to get new gig?

If I recall this correctly, Tubs has family in the Lubbock area. He'd be a pretty good fit for the Tech program.

Art Briles at Baylor is the guy I'd go after if I'm TTU...
 
Just curious, but why do you think he would be a good fit for that program ?

Would he not need to change around the whole philosophy of how they run that team ? Right now they run a uptempo pass happy no defense oriented team. I would think Tubbs would have to revamp the entire program to meet his needs ?

I hate Auburn but Tubbs wasn't a bad coach and if put in the right program, could do wonders for it.

Or re-hire Tony Franklin. :rofl:
 
TT wants to coach again so bad he can't stand it. TT is a good coach, but I don't Texas Tech as a good fit for him.

I say it is because of the recruiting aspect. Tubs wants to be in a situation where he can recruit from his office. TTU gives him that opportunity simply because of the amount of talent the state has.

Given a few years I'd bet TTU has one of the better defenses in the Big12 if Tubs gets the gig. (pun intended)
 
I was really hoping he would somehow make it back to the SEC so we could give him a few beatings we owe him. Oh well. Honestly, I think Tubbs would be a good hire for an underdog, little brother type program such as Texas Tech. I agree with Terry as well, you'd see one of the better defenses in that conference if Tubbs was in it.

I am also curious to see if his buddies, Knall and Ensminger, come aboard.

I can't say whether Tuberville would be a good fit in Lubbock or not. But I admit it sounds interesting. I'd personally like to see how the Red Raiders would do in the Big Twelve by running an SEC style offense, with a hard nosed SEC style defense....
 
I believe Nebraska is setting the tone for a change we could see in the Big 12. Defense is going to win more games than trying to out score your opponent as we have seen in the past. Tubby is a good choice if TX Tech so desires, we will wait and see!
 
Looks like interim coach Ruffin McNeill has made a great case for the job. Pretty ballsy decisions going for and making two 4th down conversions to eventually ice the game with a touchdown, with a 10 point lead.

Agreed. McNeill and his staff coached a good game last night. It was actually a very entertaining game.

Tubberville gets new gig: ap wire

Auburn, Georgia
Auburn old coach Tommy Tubberville will have a new job soon. Because he is still under contract with Auburn, they have found a new way for him to earn his salary, but this time he will do something different. Tubberville will be replacing the eagle that has been a long tradition of Auburn. Instead of the eagle flying in before all the games; Coach Tubberville will go to the highest point in Jordan's-Hairy stadium, flap his huge ears, and fly down to mid-field to receive his check.

Auburn president Jay Gogue was asked and this is what he said. "Well we had to find something for him to do and still earn his money. We thought this is something he could do and not find a way to screw it up......We may also get him to run around the standium holding his fingers in the air or wave a towel in the air. It seems to be the only thing he is good at."

Tommy Tubberville stated, "Shoot, I am just happy to be doing something so I can have my name visible for my next coaching stop. Things could be worse. I might still be a coach in the SEC and Saban could be kicking my azz every year.....You know, I think with a little extra duck hunting every year, I may have beaten Saban once every ten years or so; but who knows. I am just glad I had all those sports writers in my back pocket all those years or it could have been a lot worse."

Auburn officials have stated the new tradition will start next year and run until Tubberville remaining contract has run out. More news as this develops.
