Tubberville getting credit for taking advantage of the worst period for Alabama football in 40 years is akin to giving James Franklin credit for beating Tennessee when he was at Vanderbilt. They didnā€™t succeed, they just took advantage of gross incompetence on the parts of better programs.

I would have LOVED to have had that kind of ā€œluckā€ over the last decade. Beating Bama six in a row would have resulted in a UT Coach getting a statue and a street named after him.

Tuberville's Auburn teams were awesome. Tough defense, great running games. Very good balanced teams. Fun to watch and would kick your ass.

Ugh. I'm definitely on the left end of the political spectrum so not likely to advocate him anyway, but I wouldn't vote for Dooley if he were the combined reincarnation of FDR, MLK, Ghandi, and John Lennon simply based on the fact he tried to have Eric Berry's car towed from the practice center.

This is a much better fit for him than being a college head coach. Heā€™s a super smart guy and bad with people, so this may work. He couldā€™ve had a career in politics long ago had he not gone into coaching. Always seemed more cut out for that stuff.

I'm not sure how you can say he's bad with people. Dooley is a good, honest man. He's the type of person we should want in politics.

A person who has chased their dreams in the private sector then later in life decided to be a public servant, but not be married to it. Some of these career, unaccomplished, politicians are just gross.

He's a horrible human being who was hated by every person that worked in the football complex when he was here. I've never seen someone so universally hated by every person that interacted with him.

You act like he made some noble late-career shift to the business world. He "chased his dreams in the private sector" for a year and a half after failing to find a coaching job when his two-year analyst contract was up at Alabama. Politicians are absolutely gross. So is he.

Coaching is also a job in the private sector. I guess an argument can be made it's a public job, but you get hired and fired based on performance normally.

You can be bad with people and good at politics. Most of them are. I can say heā€™s bad with people because I have experience and many people who were around him have stories. Im not saying heā€™s a bad guy, but that heā€™s bad with people.Im not aware of him being known as a charming and personable fellow, but it seems youā€™ve had a different experience. Thatā€™s great.

Perhaps I'm wrong about him as a people person given yours and Deerpark's response.

Isn't that exactly how we wound up with Pruitt?

Fulmer brought in Pruitt because he knew Pruitt understood how to play the game with ā€œpay for playā€ recruiting. Pruitt had seen it plenty with Saban/Kirby.

Pruittā€™s mistake was playing the game but not winning on the field, it made him low hanging fruit for the NCAA, who will turn a blind eye as long as youā€™re winning and bringing in money.

Fulmer had the right idea for us to compete. He knew you had to magically load your roster up with 5* players like Kirby did at Georgia.
