Texas Tech is a major step down from Ole Miss, but I guess you have to find work somewhere in these tough economic times. :wink:

Come on; CJ. I expected a joke about him moving to Chattanooga.

ATrain, Tuberville was also the Ole Miss HC (1995-1998). He came to Oxford 2 years after I graduated from there in 1993.
Ole Miss
Tuberville got his first collegiate head coaching job at the University of Mississippi. He took over a Rebel team under severe NCAA scholarship sanctions and was named the AP SEC Coach of the Year in 1997. During his tenure, he acquired the nickname "The Riverboat Gambler" for his aggressive play calling, particularly on 4th down. Tuberville is infamous at Ole Miss, making the statement “They’ll have to carry me out of here in a pine box,” in reference to not leaving to coach at another school. Two days after he made that statement, it was announced that he was leaving to go to Auburn, leaving some upset fans at Ole Miss.

Auburn
He left Ole Miss following the 1998 regular season to take the head coaching job at Auburn University

Still, his most recent stop was Auburn.
As for 1993, I was in the 2nd/3rd grade then :P

I was 11 in 1993 (I think that is around 4th or 5th grade) and I was happy when he said he wouldnt get rid of the offense TTU had in place...back to 500 yard passing games for next year!
