...is that Al Borges is out at Auburn. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.

Where's he going? Is Tubby going to hire Applewhite?

That would be interesting considering this.....

Top 10 Assistants

I don't necessarily agree with that list and Borges was one of them that I wasn't sure about. Anywho......I wouldnt mind if their DC left.......

It would have to be for a HC job. I don't see Tubby staying at Auburn if he lost an OC like that.

The question is WHY would he be out? He is by far the best OC that Tubby has ever had, and Tubby has fired at least 3 OC's that I can remember. If Tubby is firing him, that would a sign that Tubby is feeling pressure from somewhere/body, as that is how he reacts, he fires his coordinators. If he is leaving on his own, what is the problem? I have not seen his name mentioned anywhere as a possible HC.

My sources are good but nothing solid. They are saying that he will stay through the bowl game and to help recruit. Tubbs supposedly wanting to run a different typow of offense with this new QB he has coming in.

Scoop, I know you are a good poster but this does not sound right. Noone recruits a QB that does not fit in their system. Getting rid of an OC of that caliber VOLUNTARILY would rank right up there with that DUMBASS Nick Saban leaving LSU.

that would be the worst coaching move since LSU fired Carl Reese in order to pick up Lou Tepper.

Pretty sure Reese left on his own, that was Gerry's boy, he woulda fought for him to stay.

I guess not fired, but I was under the impression that he was run off.

Kinda sad that Borges put his apples in Brandon Cox basket. Should have had another option at QB. Where Borges failed was at QB coach not OC. I wish they would keep Borges and hire D. Craig to coach up Burns.

I would put Petrino ahead of Borges. And as far as I know Tuberville has only fired 1 OC while at Auburn, Mazzone.

If you want to be technical bout it, Steve Ensminger was not fired but simply moved around in the staff. He fired the 3 OC's and 2 DC's.
