Interesting Auburn reference

The guys over at College Football News recently published their annual breakdown of SEC football coaches, and Auburn fans will like what they read.

Most Underrated – Tommy Tuberville, Auburn – Tuberville never gets mentioned in the same sentence with the nation’s top coaches, but that might change in the near term. His response to nearly getting run off the Plains by the administration a little more than two years ago? A perfect season in 2004, 22 wins and a mind-blowing 16-1 mark against the SEC. Tuberville recruits quality assistants as well as anyone and has created a relaxed, low-key atmosphere around the program that is obviously being well-received by the players and the staff.

I'd agree with this assessment. The attitude around the program is pretty low key, though it gets paranoid at times. It seems like a very harmonious group of coaches. It's rare that I hear about or sense internal hosility among coaches or players.

The author, Richard Cirminiello, also shows love for Al Borges later in the article.

The rest of the analysis seems credible for the most part. I do not believe Ed Orgeron is upwardly mobile. I think his next job will be at a smaller school, or as a second-tier assistant at another college program, or in pee-wee ball after a graphic sideline meltdown.
