Mommy Can You Help Me

(Put me down, or I will tell my mom)

As I reported last week, Auburn had let go their coach Tommy Tuberville.

Their were conflicting reports that Tuberville resigned and that he was fired.

Well according to Tuberville's mom, he was fired. She told the The Opelika-Auburn News the school turned their back on her little boy.

"This went on too long," she said. "They had their minds made up days ago, I imagine. It was tough. He didn't know what to expect. All of his friends have stayed with him."

Auburn AD Jay Jacobs said Tuberville left on his own decision. Tuberville himself said that it was the best interests of both parties.

I or anyone else knows what exactly went wrong in Auburn, but if that was me, I wouldn't won't my mommy telling the press, "they turned their backs on my little boy".

Report: Tuberville is out as Auburn coach

There is nothing official yet, but apparently Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville is out as the coach.

The Birmingham news reported the story.

An official announcement could come out today.

Tuberville met with school AD Jay Jacobs on Tuesday and Wednesday. And the school might not waste anytime getting rid of Tuberville.

Tuberville is 85-40 in his ten years at Auburn. This is year though has been the worst. The season started with high expectations because a great defensive was returning and they were implementing a new spread offense.

Well things went down hill and Tuberville fired his new offensive coordinator Tony Franklin after five weeks. The offense could never compliment the defense and forced Auburn to miss the postseason since Tuberville's last year.

More on this to come.
