What’s wrong with Tommy Tuberville? Is he not popular or you don’t like Auburn?
I’m a long time Auburn fan.
He would never ever take the blame for a loss, but was very quick to dump on his players publicly for a loss. Bear Bryant was the best I ever saw at handling that issue correctly. He ALWAYS took the blame. But he would say something like, “If we don’t play a lot better next week, Vanderbilt is going to kick our tails good.” THAT is the way a coach should behave.
He was primarily a defensive coach and he had two long-time assistants coaching offense and O-line. He was taking a lot of heat for lousy offense, so he hires a offensive-minded coach that was very successful putting up offense at Troy State . . . last name was Franklin. Franklin was made offensive coordinator. The first couple of games they were doing much better offensively and the players were buying in to what Franklin was doing. All of a sudden the other two guys balked and said either Franklin goes or they do. Tuberville fires Franklin in season. Franklin was producing. The players liked him. Tuberville put his wrong-headed a$$ hole friends over the well being of his players. It was the polar opposite of what he should have done and it sped up the process of running him off.
Didn’t like him blaming players. But when he fired Franklin, I lost every ounce of respect I had for the man. I think those two examples testify strongly to the lousy POS he really is, and an indication of how well he will fit in with the rest of the degenerate crooks in the Swamp.
No thanks. Tuberville is a bum!!!
