    I vote for Tuberville.

    I don't begrudge Satan leaving LSU for the Dolfins. His dream supposedly was the NFL. Some say he didn't handle it too well, but I say there is no great way to handle that move, and he did ok.

    I can't believe what I just saw him to to the Dolfins. He totally lost my respect. He screwed up for two years, spent a lot of Huizenga's money, was afraid his reputation would suffer, so he and Sexton bailed out, while playing Bama for a fortune. He lied repeatedly to the Dolfin organization, press and fans, although Huizenga has said Satan talked to him about "missing the college game", so I think he played Wayne also. It was not about missing the college game, it was about not letting the world watch you fail for a third year, which would clearly have "been on Satan and nobody else", given the total control he had. He blamed the poor performance on the player evaluation folks, but he had total control and he accepted no responsibility, he just blamed everyone else. He is a small person, but a gifted speaker.

    Satan did not leave Miami for a better job, like he did when he left LSU. He left Miami because he did not want to risk failing for 3 seasons in a row, IMO (he is a smart man, afterall). That's just small. Tuberville left Ole Miss for what he thought was a better job, and history would show he was correct. I can't blame a coach for trying to advance his career. If he had stayed at Ole Miss, he could have fallen to a losing string that would have cost him his job, and the team loves you until you put up a losing string, then they fire you. Tubs has made some mistakes and a few low class or no class gaffes, but not as serious as Satan's, IMO.

    Tubs is worse in my book. Has he ever told a recruit he wouldnt start?

    I am really quite shocked...:shock:

    Leaving Phil Fulmer off of that list is like making a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich without the Jelly.
