Isn’t he the one that raised the stink about Auburn tampering with Louisville’s coach?

NO, it was Auburn’s AD, President and one particularly powerful board of trustee member who tried to hire Louisville’s then coach, Bobby Petrino, without having first fired Auburn’s coach Tuberville. The scheme (called “jet-gate” by some) blew up in their face and Tuberville’s hand was strengthened. His team went 13-0 the next season as well. Tuberville never publically raised a “stink” as you say, but apparently he did come out much stronger and with a $6 million buyout clause plus a raise. The president resigned shortly thereafter as did the AD.
