this could be his pine box statement to auburn</p>
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>

Tuberville also said:</p> <a name="more"></a>

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>

I doubt it if Byrne is on that plane unless the Press conference is to announce someone other than Tubby. It would be the best thing to announce before the SEC Championship game. Possibly announcers interviewing our new coach at halftime?

I don't believe it. I don't think TT would want this job. It isn't about the money for him and this would be a step down. I don't know that his pride would let him do it.

That being said, I will eat my crow with a smile on my face if rumor#1098749287320 comes to pass.

from what I think are reliable sources. This source is Auburn based.
Right now, I float them out to see if any of you are hearing this as well.

Does anybody know where the hell Byrne is today? The guy is pretty damn tall and likes to eat. Shouldn't be that hard to keep tabs on him.

not because I have any facts to back this up but only because I have a hunch that Byrne (not ByrneS!!!!) wants a fresh start with someone who is more offensively-minded than Tubby.

Plus, I think Byrne wants someone who is a little younger than Tubby too.

I could be wrong but just a hunch on both counts.

trail Greg Byrne around to figure out what's really going on. They seemed to do a pretty good job with our coaches, recruits and players a few years back.

On his future:

``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.

``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. -- I am waiting to see if aTm is going to boot Sherman for me -- 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.''

Guys, Tubbs wants to coach in College Station. College Station wants Tubbs. If someone (Washington or oddly enough Auburn) can get Leach out of Lubbock I look for aTm to make a push for Tubs because they know they will have a leg up on Tech.

If not...and our opening is still there he may consider us. I think Byrne knows this. I also think that if Tubbs comes here he will jump ship to aTm when Sherman gets the boot.

I think Tubbs will wait on Sherman to get fired or resign at Texas A&M. I don't see Tubbs in the NFL not a good fit in my opinion.

...I figured we'd hear something one way or the other on Tubbs within 48 hours, and this is probably it. I don't think it necessarily rules him out of coming at the end of the day, but he's obviously not jumping at the chance, which is a bad sign. I don't think we'd want him unless he was ready to get here immediately and wrap up recruiting, which he is apparently not eager to do.

If Petersen, Kelly, Patterson, and Tubs are out, give me Kevin Smith.

announcing Tubbs. I am still skeptical. My main connection hasn't heard any of this.

I think it goes something like this.
Person 1 to Person 2: "I think Tubbs would make a good coach and he is looking for a job."
Person 2 to Person 3: "I heard that Tubbs is job hunting and has jumped to the top of MSU's list."
Person 3 to Person 4: "Tubbs is going to be MSU's next coach."
Person 4 to Person 1: "I have a friend who knows someone who once walked by the Bryan building who says they saw someone with big ears near the stadium last night... Tommy Tubberville will be announced as MSU's head coach today at 1:30."

Finally, Person 1 goes on message board and this **** spreads like a wild-fire.
