I don't take Finebaum for gospel but in this case I do agree with him, in that he just doesn't see it. For me, it's not so much Tubberville, because I think he'd probably jump at the chance to coach there (to get out of Lowderville), but it's Muschamp. I mean, didn't Muschamp basically leave Auburn in a huff last year? Why would he go back if he got himself out of there in the first place?

That's exactly what I was referring to in my earlier comment.
Their current Ath. Dir. attempted to pull one on Muschamp with his contract extension/renegotiation when he had talked to Texas. With Jay still the figure head of that Athletic Department there is no way that Will considers working under a guy that tried to screw him on a contract just under a year ago.
TerryP said:By the way, and you can chalk this up to the FWIW department, I talked to the Clemson beat writer for one of our papers about this in detail a few weeks ago.
This all started, Tubs to Clemson, back a few weeks ago on a talk show with Barnhart and Brando when they were speculating on what might happen at Clemson. They made the comment "you might see Tuberville at Clemson" but it was nothing more that one of those speculations you see all of the sports guy make during conversations.
There wasn't anything behind the thought, there wasn't any news backing the story up, it was just a "might" that falls into the same category as the "what if's" you see everyday.
FWIW, that same beat writer has taken a job with one of the premium web sites dedicated to Clemson now...and, he got that job because of the contacts he developed in and around that program.
Ol' Scott doesn't fall into the same league.

I would. Say what you want but I think Tubberville is not a bad coach. I don't like him. Let's be clear. But he is a good coach and would be a good fit at Clemson.

Given the competition in the ACC, Tubbs would be a Ferrari. It is lightyears behind what he faces in the SEC. He would win more than one title in ten years.

gumboman said:tubs (I do not capitalize his name on purpose) can not hack it as an SEC coach. He is better suited as an ACC coach. He'll fit right in. I think those guys like the whole "holding hands/arms when walking out" crap, which, by the way, everyone on this planet sees right through. Good luck, tubs! Take your buddies with ya, too.
