Today in Auburn

This is my first post. I made this blog so I could let people know what is going on with different things at Auburn. With my first post I would like to talk about the rumors of Tommy Tubberville going to Texas A&M. Tubbs finnally talked about this subject at a press conference today. He didn't say much, but he did say something. He came out and said that his focus right now is on finishing off this season on a good note, that is beating Georgia and Alabama. He said that there are a lot of jobs open every year. He has been rumored to be wanted by some school in 7 of the nine years he has been at Auburn. Auburn started off at 1-2 this year, and Tubberville said that after starting off with that record, he thought he would be taking a job at the end of the year. As many of you probably know, Tubbs has turned the season around and ever since that horrible start Auburn has gone 6-1. Which was unexpected to most. He said that the players work very hard for these last two games and they were not going to mess it up by worrying about all these rumors. Tubberville stated,"Anything I say is going to be looked at, turned around, flipped around. It doesn't make any difference. I'm going to, as I do every year, sit down with Jay and the president at the end of the season and we'll go from there." He went on to say that there was no reason to meet any earlier than that.
When asked directly about the Texas A&M job Tubberville said that he has friends there. The main reason the media considers him a major candidate is because he coached there in 1994. After what he has done at Auburn, Why wouldn't he be a major candidate? Tubbs said that there is probably 15 other people up for the job. He said that these rumors make for good talk, and that is all.
I personally don't think Tubberville will leave Auburn, but I do think he will act interested in order to get a raise. Tubberville knows how to lead people on and I think that is exactly what he will do. Im sure he wants a raise, so he is going to make everyone think he is kinda interested in the job so he will get a raise. He will probably want a raise between about $3.5 million and 3.8 million. I think he will want his contract to be a lot closer to Nick Saban's. I just say this, don't be surprised if Tubberville leads this on a while. I love Tubberville and I hope he doesn't leave. I think it would be dumb to let him go. I mean who are they gonna hire that will be able to do that much better?
If Tubbs was to leave, which he isn't, Auburn would just go out and get the top coach on the market and go from there. The bottom line is that after this year, Tubberville will more than likely get a raise and stay at Auburn. I don't think Auburn wants to let him go, the fans don't want him gone, and I know I don't wan't him gone. All it is is talk, just like he said himself. That is all for now. I will try to keep you updated. WAR EAGLE!!!!!
