Tommy Tuberville said the morning he had no animosity toward Auburn and he'll stay on and work with university President Dr. Jay Gogue while he contemplates his future.</p>
Tuberville, who resigned as Auburn's football coach Wednesday, said he's looking forward to having a family life again. He said he plans to return to coaching again, but will wait for the right opportunity.</p>
Tuberville said his departure was ``totally a business decision, what's best for Auburn.''</p>
His responses were classy all the way.</p>
He said he would call recruits to hold recruiting together until a new coach is hired.</p>
While he said he'll remain in Auburn and stay out of the way of the new coach.</p>
``You're not going to hear from me much publicly.''</p>

On Auburn and a family life:</p>
``I'm not in any hurry to do anything. I want to stay in Auburn. My kids love it here, so does my wife. We have a lot of friends. Eventually, I'll have to get a job, go back to work. I'll look at several different options. I'm not saying what it will be and what it's going to be. I'm going to turn back into a husband and father, which I haven't been much of the last 15 years. This is going to give me a chance to go to a lot of high school basketball games. Suzanne and I can travel a little bit, go out to dinner. Again, I'm not in a hurry to do anything.''</p>
On staying in Auburn:</p>
``I'm going to work a little bit with Dr. Gogue and see if there's anything he wants me to do. I'm an Auburn person and I believe in this school. They've done a lot more for me than I've done for them, so I'm going to try to give back as much as I can as long as I'm not really doing anything. But I'm not going to be in the way. You're not going to hear from me much publicly.''</p>
On his future:</p>
``This will be a good time for me to sit back and count my blessings for what we've had and look to the future and do as much as I can for the people here, and make a plan for the next 10-15 years.</p>
``I fully intend to coach. I'm not going to jump into any situation. I want to do what's best for family, and for opportunites. I'll sit back and evaluate, probably through the holidays, to see the direction I need to go. Right now, I want to help the healing process, if there needs to be, with me leaving. I'm not saying people are disappointed I'm leaving, but anytime there's a change, there could be a division. We've had huge support. We're fortunate, very blessed, to have been here 10 years.''</p>
