I watched the Auburn game last night and had to turn if off in disgust. I have never quit watching a game before, but it was ridiculous. I was actually excited in the first half. I haven't been a big Kodi Burns fan, but he looked pretty good. We were running the ball well and going straight ahead. We seemed to be wearing the defense out. Our

After how bad we've looked I'm amazing that we found a new way to look even worse. In a Thursday night game. That everyone was watching since it's the only game on.

Tuberville is to blame since he's the coach, but I agree that he's earned a down year without getting fired. Where else will we find someone to win 8.4 games a year? And if we end up with 10 years of Tuberville with only 1 or 2 losing seasons... I think that's a good sign, not a reason to be fired. Right now people are just overreacting and being emotional. I'd need another season or two of this level of awful before I decided Tubby isn't the guy.

For comparison look at Rich Rod at Michigan. Or Saban last year. New coaches implementing a new system get a long leash to work things out and lose some games. Saban improved a bit over last year. Who knows about Rich Rod, but you have to believe better things are on the way for them. Tubby is also implementing a new system, but he's not "new" so he's expected to never stop winning. I think it would be a big mistake to fire him now, and I'd say the odds of it happening are very slim.
