Assistants are off to visit recruits

One of Auburn's two jets, similar to the one pictured at left, has been dispatched to Mobile and onward to Palm Beach, Fla., for a recruiting visit.

If those assistants have been fired -- as has been reported on radio -- they certainly haven't gotten the memo.

UPDATE: Tuberville and Jacobs recently (3:30ish?) together via car and headed upstairs ... presumably for more discussions. I'm guessing they were returning from the president's office.

Roland said...: Nall hasn't done anything positive all year. He will probably tell the recruits to go elsewhere; 2:54 PM
Will said...: Who was the other one?; 2:55 PM
wartiger said...: Jay- Do you know which assistants acutally left on the plane?; 2:58 PM
shesaid said...: Planes make me think of Top Gun.

Slider.....{sniiiffff}...you stink.; 2:59 PM
Anonymous said...: Nothing will change.

Tubs will stay along with everyone but Ensmonger.

That's my prediction.; 2:59 PM
Roland said...: Cobra C- I hope you are wrong; 3:01 PM
shesaid said...: Will, email me if something major happens. I have to go do some work for an hour or so.

And get me some damn b-ball tix. Only the women's games though.; 3:02 PM
Will said...: Word.... LP

I'll keep any eye out for the Tix.; 3:04 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: i don't know if anyone's raised this point, but can you imagine the crowing from the bama nation if tuberville is fired? i'm fairly sure that they'll be saying that croom, fulmer and tuberville were "sabanized," regardless of the facts on the ground.; 3:05 PM
Will said...: I hear what you're saying Scott, but I decided a while back to ignore 100% of everything spewed from the UAT faithful. I even moved back to AU about 2 mos ago to TRY to avoid them.; 3:06 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: will, that's got to be tough, given all the opelika tide folks. mush easier out here, though.; 3:09 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: should have been "much"; 3:10 PM
ron mexico said...: why does everyone thin he will be fired?; 3:15 PM
Romberry said...: i don't know if anyone's raised this point, but can you imagine the crowing from the bama nation if tuberville is fired?

All the bammers I know are in the same position that the AU Tiger faithful were in a couple of years back. We all wanted Bammer to keep Mike Shula back then. They all want us to keep Tuberville now.; 3:16 PM
Roland said...: Scott don't forget about Bowden; 3:16 PM
Quitstina said...: Well I guess I am reading the flight tracker right then.; 3:16 PM
Just Win AU said...: WTF?

http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2008/12/is_auburn_looking_at_texas_tec.html

Also reaching out to Petrino?

CRAP!; 3:17 PM
ron mexico said...: wow, both terrible hires; 3:18 PM
Romberry said...: Well I guess I am reading the flight tracker right then.

My understanding is that AU had the FAA remove AU aircraft from the publicly trackable flight data. Anyone know different?; 3:20 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: What can I say, guys?

I don't have anyone telling me about Leach/Petrino. Can't tell you anything about that.

Assuming that's true, Auburn's plan to fire Tuberville better be in place.

Otherwise, they're in a remarkably compromised position from a contractual standpoint.; 3:21 PM
ron mexico said...: The people who run auburn football are clowns if that is true; 3:21 PM
Quitstina said...: Well, Roman, I'm looking at it and see where they are headed to Mobile and then Plam Springs. I think Lowder's plane is no longer tracked tho...; 3:21 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Roman, that is incorrect.

I track Auburn flights. They were "blocked," but I still watch them.; 3:21 PM
Quitstina said...: Why is F-baum not mentioning the non sec west clause in Petrino's contract? Someone please explain it to me...; 3:22 PM
FSJ said...: Jay and Kristina have their methods of tracking.; 3:22 PM
Unknown said...: The Seeker, how are you so familiar with what Nall has done this season?

Cobra, I don't really see Ensminger as part of the problems, but it is possible. I would think Knox would be on the hit list if an offensive position coach was to go.

I have just got back from work. I hung out there about 5 hours and it appears there has been no news except a plane ride for coaches.

It does appear that rumors are flying about, but I don't put too much faith in them.

My guess is Tuberville will be back with a revised contract.; 3:22 PM
Harrison said...: My dad and my uncle are opelika uat fans and they are awful; 3:22 PM
Just Win AU said...: If Leach is hired will Chris Todd start next year?; 3:23 PM
Romberry said...: Otherwise, they're in a remarkably compromised position from a contractual standpoint.

If it was an "unofficial/unsanctioned" contact with plausible deniability, I think AU would be in the clear. Regardless, I pretty much expect a change to be made.

Any current guess on the percentages, Jay?; 3:24 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Kristina ... I don't see a clause laying out penalties for the SEC West thing.; 3:24 PM
Quitstina said...: interesting question, just win.; 3:24 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: 97.25%; 3:24 PM
Jonesy said...: I just don't see the Pat Dye crowd handling Leach very well.

Not that I'm entirely sure about him anyway. The guy may be winning, but he hasn't won any championships (albeit he's behind the 8 ball in that division, but still).; 3:24 PM
Anonymous said...: An unofficial Auburn representative has reached out to people close to Arkansas' Bobby Petrino and Texas Tech's Mike Leach to gauge their interest in succeeding Tommy Tuberville if the school decides to fire him, a source familiar with the contacts told The Birmingham News

Can someone tell me what an unofficial representative is?; 3:24 PM
FSJ said...: Bama fans are wonderful folks...Just ask Kristina.; 3:24 PM
Harrison said...: Jay, where does k. scarbinsky get all of his "stories". Does he just throw crap against the wall and see what sticks?; 3:24 PM
autiger said...: Get off your ass and do something???

ron mexico said...: au1n04

bobby lowder, byron franklin and etc.; 3:26 PM
Romberry said...: JGT: Roman, that is incorrect. I track Auburn flights. They were "blocked," but I still watch them.

Thanks for the info. I figured someone here would have the straight dope. Shoulda figured it would be you. :); 3:26 PM
Harrison said...: I guess we're all unofficial auburn representatives; 3:26 PM
Quitstina said...: Exactly jay, it just says he promises he won't and he would be in violation if he did. And later it says is he violates the contract then he has to pay the buy out. I think it could happen from a legal point of view...; 3:26 PM
FSJ said...: Can I be an unofficial Auburn representative?

If so, I'm about to get on the horn to Rocky Felker, Gerry Dinardo, & Johnny Majors on behalf of AU.; 3:29 PM
Harrison said...: This is a circus run by retarded clowns; 3:29 PM
Roland said...: Steve our O-line was terrible and the rumored tiff with Franklin; 3:30 PM
Unknown said...: I can't believe Jay's percentage is up to 97.25%. What new has influenced this Jay?

I wouldn't mind Mike Leach as the coach, but if Petrino comes, I may become an Ole Miss fan.; 3:30 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: autiger: Off your ass?; 3:30 PM
Jet said...: We're contacting Dabo Swinney, too.

Just kidding, Harrison.; 3:31 PM
barkley for governor said...: I think we should hire Gary Danielson!; 3:31 PM
Monica said...: wow 97.25%; 3:31 PM
FSJ said...: Jay, I think he meant Auburn.; 3:31 PM
wartiger said...: This is insane Hotties..speculation..rumors..unofficial this and that..been a while since we've been here and I didn't have the HABOTN to keep me warm..craziness; 3:31 PM
Jet said...: Surprised it's not 99.44.; 3:32 PM
Harrison said...: JET:I figured...I don't really liek Dabo, but I do like his name, and how he weasled into a h.c. job; 3:32 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: FYI ... I don't think Hugh Nall went south.

It was Rhoads and Willis.; 3:32 PM
Unknown said...: Seeker, I was asking what Nall has done, not the results of the offensive line, which were highly a result of Franklin's philosophy of smaller quicker linemen. I have no doubt about Nall's ability to coach linemen, but I would be interested if he has been something disruptive. I just hadn't heard that.; 3:32 PM
Harrison said...: Would Rhodes and Willis be likely to stay even if tubs is gone??; 3:33 PM
Just Win AU said...: Why does Petrino's name always come up? He was at Auburn for ONE freaking year for God's sake.; 3:33 PM
Jet said...: Rhoads and Willis ... makes sense ... everybody else gets kicked to the street immediately.; 3:33 PM
Unknown said...: If they are firing Tuberville, they are doing it in the slowest, most painful way possible, which ain't good.; 3:33 PM
Unknown said...: If they are firing Tuberville, they are doing it in the slowest, most painful way possible, which ain't good.; 3:33 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Petrino is incredibly popular with some people on the inside.; 3:33 PM
wartiger said...: they needed to leave to avoid the bullets about to fly...; 3:34 PM
Jet said...: Willis would be a solid candidate to stay, for sure, in my book. Rhoads, depends on a lot of factors, I would guess.; 3:34 PM
Unknown said...: Jay, what caused the jump in your percentage?; 3:34 PM
Jet said...: Steve, paybacks are ... well, uncomfortable.; 3:34 PM
Harrison said...: I agree with Jet on this one. 2 that are likely to stay; 3:34 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Percentage jump: Too many unusual things happening concurrently.; 3:35 PM
ron mexico said...: some ATL station is saying nall is interviewing with south carolina; 3:35 PM
Quitstina said...: So, Jay. If he's gone do you still think he doesn't coach anywhere else?; 3:35 PM
Jet said...: Kum Ba Ya, my Lord
Kum Ba Ya!; 3:35 PM
barkley for governor said...: Auburn will be the national media's punching bag if we fire Tuberville and hire Petrino.; 3:36 PM
Jet said...: Barkley ... tis true ... until we starting winning.

Just look across the state.; 3:36 PM
wartiger said...: amen barkley; 3:36 PM
Will said...: No Nall on the plane makes alot of sense.

Why do they need to "contact" someone like Petrino and/or Leach today. I would think that there would've had to have been some sort of contact before today to know if the conversation was worth pursuing.; 3:37 PM
Roland said...: Jay's spider sense is tingling; 3:37 PM
Quitstina said...: Are you adding the B'ham news up on the rumor thread?; 3:38 PM
Roland said...: So was Bama/Saban until this year; 3:38 PM
autiger said...: Ill get Franklin to drive over from the Christmas tree lot and give you a pep talk if needed. I need the info a little faster than you are providing. Can't you hack into something and get us the facts.; 3:38 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I don't think he'll coach anywhere else.

Just knowing him, he'll take the big check and do something less stressful.; 3:38 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: autiger's looking for the BANHAMMER. ha.

easy fo sheezy.; 3:38 PM
Quitstina said...: Jay, did they really show up in a car and were not in Tubs' office?; 3:39 PM
Unknown said...: I would like Dabo Sweeney as the next head coach, but it is only because I like how it feels to say Dabo Sweeney.

As a radical change in strategy, I have switched from wearing my Hawaiian shirt, to my HABOTN shirt. Lets see how this works out.; 3:39 PM
Anonymous said...: Why would Petrino leave Arkansas if asked? He is in college football, he is in the SEC, and he is in the SEC West? Just askin.; 3:39 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I know where that Bham story came from and I'm not ready to throw that on the RRR just yet.; 3:39 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: JG, you with this Rick Carley (sp?) fellow that was just on Finebaum?; 3:39 PM
Will said...: Is there any way to be more than 100% against something? If so, then that is how much I oppose hiring Petrino.; 3:39 PM

I must be distracted.... ahem.; 3:40 PM
michael said...: If he is fired, this is just about the most horribly mishandled pile o crap ever.

I once again am a bama fan. Roll tide!; 3:41 PM
barkley for governor said...: Petrion's not leaving because it would kill what little credibility he has left. But clearly Auburn is a better job than Arkansas.; 3:41 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: In the blogging world, they say you're nobody until you have a troll.

I feel more legitimate! Yay.

The newspaper will be so proud of me.; 3:41 PM

I just tried it on....

Nice shirt, but I threw up in my mouth a little.; 3:41 PM

I was talking with the Fox 6 guys outside a few moments ago ...; 3:42 PM
wartiger said...: Are we still hatin Bama? Cause I hat Finebaum..I'm listening so that I can keep up...usually can't handle it..; 3:42 PM
Roland said...: what bham story?; 3:42 PM
michael said...: is it really that clear that Auburn is a better job than arkansas? I mean, I think so, but I am biased. I am not so sure the layperson would agree there is much of a difference.; 3:42 PM
Will said...: C'mon Jay spill the beans about the B'ham stuff. We NEEEEED a fix, man. I gotta know.

Hey Michael, way to stay classy. Real talk, I would have never guessed you for a Tide fan. I mean that as a compliment.; 3:43 PM
Unknown said...: michael, I agree. If Tuberville is getting the ax, they are doing it horribly. One quick swing at the next would do it. I don't think gently easing the ax into the neck makes it less painful.

I will be seriously upset if Petrino is the man.; 3:43 PM
Quitstina said...: The news reported that unofficial reps from Auburn have contacted Petrino and Leach.; 3:44 PM
Just Win AU said...: Jay:
Do you think we have some solid answers today/tonight? Or do you see this dragging out a few more days?; 3:44 PM
barkley for governor said...: Jay, Rick Karle just said that Tuberville just pulled up in the parking lot with Jacobs lauging and joking around.; 3:44 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Jay G : i meant are all the media guys chillin' together waiting on this thing to go down?; 3:44 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: I'm reading Sun Tzu's Art of War plus the Art of Selling by Gary Gagilardi.

Anyone seen/read/heard of it?; 3:44 PM
Brad said...: So after taking this all in from 1,000 miles away over the last few days, I finally decided to sign up and share my worthless thoughts:

Tubs is gone. You don't go through all of this without some public affirmation before now. It's just been too much to overcome, and to be honest, it's probably the best thing just to get rid of the self-inflicted headache that is the AU administration.

Mike Leach and Bobby Petrino are both HORRIBLE ideas. I just don't see how either would fit well on the Plains or that our fan base would get behind them whole heartedly.

If either was contacted without an official, I will be highly disappointed in the administration. Nothing is more important at Auburn than our academic standing. If we don't have that, we don't have a school worth going to and therefore no football program that will compete. Remember, SACS was highly upset about the 2003 fiasco and we nearly lost our accredidation.

So in conclusion, I know nothing, except that Auburn could use a really good PR manager.

I leave you with the soothing though of:

"The dude abides."; 3:44 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Barkley: True.; 3:45 PM
michael said...: Thanks Will. I am the epitome of class

barkley for governor said...: Well Auburn has recently been snagging the top players out of the state of Arkansas so........; 3:46 PM
John Stubbs said...: Jay,

Any guess on why this is taking so long? I would think that if they are going to fire him, it would have been cleared up by this point. Due to the length of the "negotiations" it seems like they are discussing nuanced items, not the big picture stuff.; 3:47 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Mike Leach's sytem brough M. Crabtree to Lubbock TX for God's sake.

Could he recruit to AU?; 3:47 PM
Harrison said...: I think today made me dumber; 3:48 PM
Quitstina said...: john, prevailing winds say that AU is stalling until they have a bew head coach in place.

I wanna see Tubs giggling, finebaum...; 3:48 PM
Jet said...: Jet G. Ate proudly lists himself as one who would be plenty happy with Petrino.

If that makes me an SOB, SOB it.; 3:49 PM
Quitstina said...: *new head coach; 3:49 PM
barkley for governor said...: Crabtree went to Texas Tech because Texas told him he couldn't play offense there.; 3:49 PM

Breathe in through the mouth

I think they went to Baskin Robbins; 3:50 PM

autiger said...: Are they still meeting or did they slip out the back? Someone said they saw Tub at Colonial getting a cashiers check?; 3:51 PM
Quitstina said...: Fine, call me out for my typo Faker, but I already corrected it so there! (sticks tongue out); 3:51 PM
Unknown said...: Monica, we do need a calming influence. This is getting too stressful.

How about Jan Terri for head coach? I do think she would intimidate opponents.; 3:51 PM
KJtiger said...: Maybe Jay was showing CTT his new farm in lochapoka.; 3:52 PM
barkley for governor said...: I'm glad Jay doesn't report everything he hears as fact like some of these douche bags do. At least we know when he says something that it's true.; 3:52 PM
FSJ said...: Kristina:

I'm all for accuracy...; 3:53 PM
Roland said...: It amazes me how many more posts there are when nothing is happening.; 3:53 PM
Jet said...: Monica ... we're fine ... Steve asked a question, and he's an honorable man ... so I answered him.

I'm just the friendly neighborhood psychopath that would be pleased to have either Petrino or Muschamp as head coach.; 3:53 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: It's all very confusing. Not sure what to tell you right now.

They talk, they break, they talk more.

I have no idea what's going to happen with this.; 3:54 PM

Cuz you know we be right on that brotha mayun!; 3:56 PM
Mark said...: I thought last year, Tubby would have been a good fit for Arky. and petrino could have come to AU. May still happen.

Petrino is the real deal. Problem is, he would be a fool to jump this soon.

As far as jobs, imo, it is always better to be at the "Named" state school. i.e. Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia. So, from that standpoint, Arkansas would be better than Auburn. Might not count for much.; 3:56 PM
Harrison said...: I am about to have to do real work for a while and I bet something awesome will happen during that time...damn; 3:56 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I think the plane was picking up Willis from Mobile and taking him along with Rhoads to Palm Beach.; 3:57 PM

Who is more consistent in winning seasons? That's the relevant stuff. I know I'm biased but I still think most people would agree Auburn is the better job.; 4:01 PM

Anonymous said...: Rumor de moment

Unknown said...: Tommy Tuberville is out as Auburn's football coach, The Birmingham News has learned.

An official announcement could come today.
Tommy Tuberville
Tuberville was 85-40 in 10 years at Auburn, and is 110-60 in 14 years as a college head coach. His final season at Auburn ended with a 36-0 loss to Alabama last Saturday to finish off a disappointing 5-7 record.

Tuberville met with Athletics Director Jay Jacobs on Tuesday and Wednesday. He met with university President Jay Gogue on Monday.

Tuberville is fourth all time in wins in Auburn. He was the fourth-longest tenured coach in school history. Tuberville's best season was also Auburn's best season. The Tigers were 13-0 in 2004.; 4:11 PM

John Stubbs said...: If Tuberville really is fired, it brings down the attractiveness of Auburn's Head Football Coach as a job. No one good is going to want to take a job under an uneven administration that will cut a coach at the knees after one bad season. Auburn has enjoyed unprecedented success under Tuberville. This insecurity is why we can't acheive consistent success.; 4:13 PM
