He did win only 8 games, and had it not been for every opponent trotting out a fifth string walk on QB we wouldn't have won that many.
Loosing games in this conference is one thing, but loosing them, the ones that mattered, in the way we lost them, with no inkling of EVER Improving is the deal. To reduce the issue to just W and L, for one season, is a wretched oversimplification.
Tuberville pulled this same dog and pony show at Auburn when he was going to be fired. Paraded his family, got the news media involved and pretended to be this wonderful guy that was giving his all and was being mistreated by the bad old administration and boosters while hauling in the cash. Well we all know how that turned out and after one more miserable season the whole school turned out to pack his bags.
