Check it out:

I know this is a copout as far as a new blog post goes, but I enjoyed reading this article and made a few personal references to Auburn and the possible complacency of the Tommy Tuberville staff.

It's an easy comparison to make, but I guess it's just nice to see that Auburn is not the only school that suffered due to key coaching changes (ie, Borges, Franklin, etc.)

The bottom line is this: Tuberville and his staff have never really produced great offenses. They usually have a strong running game and extremely stout defense. Nine out of ten times, this results in wins. But then there's that tenth time when other teams stack the box, stop your run and begin to wear out your defense (= loss). That's what happened last season and I absolutely loved Tommy Tuberville as Auburn's head man, but it's good to see a defensive guru at the helm who has connections on the offensive side of the ball. Hopefully, when some of his guys begin to leave for other jobs, he'll continue bringing in good coaches who have good chemistry with his other coaches.

Anyway, here's the link:
