Campfire update

Thanks to everyone who participated from 5-6ish.

We'll build another campfire around 10. I'll send out a Twit (see under the blue birdie) if we start before then.

Asked to describe "the best part of being at Auburn," Franklin said: "No comment."


He should have used that strategy more often at auburn. And hopefully he doesn't bring his MCP with him to his next job.

Think about this ...

Auburn now is paying two offensive coordinators to not coach.

6:19 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

yeah.. good call

the consultant thing might be a little over the budget

Wow, I leave to go eat dinner at my parents house and the whole world changes.

but if it's who i think it is that called for this beheading then he's got deep pockets

Better than two head coaches not to coach....

Lowder's bank stock has put a dent in even his budget.

i still don't think he's shopping at wal-mart

$6 million won't stop people from invoking Tuberville's buyout clause.

I feel very strongly about that.

I know the stock market is killing my 401K, so I'll take a consultant job. I'm sure my strategy of running the ball to set up the rare pass will be agreeable with the current staff.

How much heat do you think Tub has on him with the higher ups at Auburn at this point, since this was the hire that was going to change our offense around, now he's as quick as he came in?

6:27 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

we got to hang with tuberville, he's been through worse than this...

And don't you think tubs cleared this with the people who are ultimately responsible for firing him. He'd be an idiot not to.

6:29 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

If Auburn goes 9-3, see, Tuberville will be branded a genius for ablating the cancerous area.

If Auburn goes 6-6 or even 7-5, see, Tuberville will be branded a loser for creating the cancer.

So it's still developing ...

6:32 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

I'm sure he cleared it with them. However depending on if Franklin was truly Tub's hire, there could be some serious heat on him for hiring him in the first place.


So does this mean Kodi Burns is starting this week?

6:33 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

6-6 or 7-5 either way his seat starts to warm up. At least without the spread we got a shot at 9-3 or 8-4

6:35 PM

Depending on who is calling plays and how the team reacts to this, this could be a positive thing in the short term.

However depending on what happens with recruiting, this could be a long term negative.

6:37 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

6-6 and he's as good as fired.

7-5? Probably fired.

8-4? Maybe.

9-3. Safe.

6:37 PM

Since Franklin isn't known to keep quiet on anything, this could get ugly in the media unless he signed a gag order on his way out.

``They told me to get lost,'' he offered to an Auburn employee who watched.

He told someone else, ``I don't have any reason to hang around.''

6:38 PM  
Blogger TAD said...

Why would we hang with Tuberville? What does he get us for the $3 million a year he's paid? All we get is our hopes built up every couple of years when Tuberville plays up how great the team is. The 2004 season was an anomaly, akin to a blind hog finding a nut every now and again.

I'm tired of playing not to lose. I'm tired of wearing all orange all the time. I'm tired of Tuberville playing the same old song all the time. If he's unhappy he should leave and not let the door hit him on the way out. And yes, I said the same thing last year.

I'm sure Tuberville will find some sucker stupid enough to come be Auburn's offensive coordinator, but I pity the fool. This sucker won't be spending her Saturdays in Auburn. She'll be spending it at home and saving gas money, food money and money that would otherwise be spent on new Auburn attire.

6:38 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

then he probably did what he needed to do to try and keep his job

6:39 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

who's a better coach that auburn could get right now?

6:40 PM  
Blogger WDCWE said...

Hey guys, some interesting info a friend of mine just shared. There are flights coming in from: South Carolina, Mizzu, Texas, and Florida in planes are aren't regulars for the Au-Opelika airport. I am just saying....

6:40 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

That's the Tuberville way.

6:41 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Obviously you've never been to that airport before. That many flights in at once would be a national disaster as they would all crash into each other.

6:42 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

I can't believe AU would fire a coach for an 8-4 season. Even if TT made a bad hire, look at all he has done for this program.

6:43 PM  
Blogger Loganville Tiger said...

9-3 is what I think it will take - and that is only premised by beating UAT - He can take a loss to UGA - but NOT UAT - its over for him if he does.

Ain't saying it's right - its just reality.

6:44 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

I'm here to give you the reality.

That's the reality.

6:44 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Tub had done some great things at Auburn, but one thing the powers that be are probably frustrated with is the lack of hardware that he's brought in.

I agree with Ron Mexico though, who can we get who is better?

6:44 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

I just watched the video on rivals. Disgusting. This is almost enough for me to excommunicate myself from the AU family. This was handled horribly. Regardless of his performance, there were better ways to do this. Franklin handled it better than I would have. Camera dude would be having a little eye socket trouble tonight if it had been me. I am not proud to be an Auburn man right now.

6:46 PM  
Blogger Loganville Tiger said...

LOTS of better coach's out there Ron - problem is they are all young and unproven = we would have to take a chance on picking on and HOPE he is a better alternate..... But it may come to that.

6:46 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

If they are young an unproven, then how do you know there are lots better coaches out there?

6:48 PM  
Blogger Loganville Tiger said...

Tub's was an assistant once wareagle rk - unproven and someone gave him a shot as HC. Muschamp is unproven and will get his shot - and may be a better coach - may not.

6:51 PM  
Blogger Loganville Tiger said...

I'm not promoting Muschamp by any stretch of the imagination - just a name that came to mind.

6:52 PM

With my mighty tide being down for the past 6 years Auburn should have more than 1 sec championship aight.

6:55 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Worse job- Auburn OC or Raiders head coach?

6:56 PM  
Blogger WDCWE said...

Yeah, I mean with teams like LSU and Florida lurking around the SEC, winning the the conference should be a cake walk without Bama around.

6:59 PM  
Blogger Loganville Tiger said...

Prediction:

You will see the "River Boat Gambler" persona of Tuberville emerge the rest of the season.

When a animal is hurt or cornered - he pulls out all the stops. He is fighting for survival - he will let the Hide Go With The Hair....

Bad teams run trick plays against superior opponents - I expect hurt teams to do the same.

7:01 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

I believe it was said who was better "right now"... unproven coaches aren't better right now.

7:02 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

No confrontation? BS. Then why fire him now?

7:03 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

I've seen many a person fired without any confrontation.

It was obvious, no matter what and who is at fault, this was doomed from the start and wasn't going to be able to work.

I probably would have waited until the bye week, but it's done now.

7:06 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

is tubs addressing media tonight?

7:07 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

I believe right now. They said after practice was over.

7:08 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

It is happening right now as we speak.

7:09 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

can i still get arkansas and 18 1/2 points? i'm not hating on anyone, but that spread looks silly right now.

7:10 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

and it didn't before?

7:11 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

we're averaging less than 18 points a game

7:12 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

That line has looked silly all week long.

A team with 5 offensive TD's in 4 games should never be an 18 point favorite.

7:13 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

rm and rk, right you are. now it's just starting to look like money in the bank. (not that that is a good thing, right now).

7:30 PM  
Blogger Kris said...

If any of you have any money left in your 401K and the line stays the same, do like me borrow against it an put it on the hogs.
