3.5 for 10 years!!!

New Story just broke!

[hogtrack776]

What does the stry say about our chances to get the coach??

[badbrad]

yessssssss!!!!!! Come home Tubby!!!!!!!!!

[bill55you]

Is there anyway I can copy and paste for everyone to read?  Says arkansas is offering 3.5 for 10 years but the buyout is the problem right now but they are working on it.

New Story just broke!

That story has been on ESPN for a while already.

[Karma]

10 years? Seems highly unlikely.

Copy and paste = copyright infringement

Show him the money!!!

[SherriM122]

I heard that part of what TT is wanting is full control of the football program -- anyone else heard anything like this???  Can't say I'm surprised he would want that.

With this kind of coin he could pay the buyout himself and still average 2.9 per year, or we could just pay it up front and then just pay him 2.9.

does muschamp come with him? 

[pigfeet]

does muschamp come with him? 

I hope


TT needs Malzahn too

[pigfeet]

I'll clean the ducks he shoots.

[MrsPiggy]

ok, ESPN is reporting that TT and Auburn have agreed to an extension?  The story was dated today at 5:53

[TX HOG]

I'll take them!

[hog_co-pilot]

Where is the link to the ESPN story?  The only story about Tubberville I saw on ESPN stated that he agreed in principle to a contract extension to stay at Auburn.  I would love for him to come to Arkansas.

[hogsanity]

10 years? Seems highly unlikely.

Seems very likely when you are asking someone to leave the gig he currently has.  You have to remember, when Saban got 4mil, everyone's price went up.  Dont believe me, what did you know who just get at ole misses?

How much did the coach who was fired get at Ole Miss?

[jpounders]

ESPN is reporting an extension, but they did not meet b/c they have issues to iron out.  I'm not a rumormill kind of guy...not saying he's coming to AR (personally I don't think he will)..but he has not signed it yet.

[carlspackler]

Yeah, the ESPN story has a deceptive headline.  If you read the story, it is much more up in the air than the title implies.

[Brand X Hog Fan]

How much did the coach who was fired get at Ole Miss?

1.9 for 5 years I think.

[Hawgon]

Ignore the ESPN story it is a reprint from the story that appeared in the Alabama newspapers last night.  A lot has happened since then.  For one thing, Tuberville didn't show up to meet with the Auburn AD today.

[RazorNick]

2.4 for 5 years I think.

Supposedly what we offered him to stay.

[FL_Hog_Fan]

The ESPN story is old.  Maybe not on ESPN, but the news is old.  What it says, basically, is that if they agree to a new contract, it will be for 7 years.  Nothing more.  Not saying he is coming.  What does the article say on rivals?

[hogfanwp]

I'll clean the ducks he shoots.

I'll help....hell I'll even swim to get the ducks!!

[Brand X Hog Fan]

Supposedly what we offered him to stay.

I screwed that up. It was 1.9M for 5 years

[hoglady]

Do ya'll think he's worth that kind of money?
He's had it pretty good recruiting wise, since the Alabama program's been down.
Some are saying Saban is killing him this year.

[Spiral_cut]

If we have the $$$ let's do it. It would show the country we are SERIOUS about sucess (it would convey the
dsme message to recruits)...

[hogfanwp]

Any time table when we are suppose to know, or when/if this is going down?

1.7 mill a year with a raise of 100k every year

[FL_Hog_Fan]

WHAT'S GOING DOWN?  Did we offer him 3.5 for 10 years?

[Brand X Hog Fan]

HE got Kody Burns . . .

[U.P. HOGG]

When was this new story posted on Rivals? Time wise?

[Karma]

He got 4 years at OM with a promise of a 1 yr roll over. That's not 10 years.

Tuberville, Auburn in holding pattern

AuburnSports.com


 
Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville and athletic director Jay Jacobs did not meet Wednesday after a full day of meetings on Tuesday failed to reach a settlement. Get the latest on the contract talks inside including the potential hang-up and a possible offer from Arkansas.

...More... (To continue reading this article you must be a subscriber.)

[jpounders]

You can't read the full article but it confirms that they havent agreed to the contract yet.

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

HE got Kody Burns . . .

speaking of which..
is there any way he will transfer??

[bill55you]

Posted about 20 minutes ago.  

[U.P. HOGG]

If Tuberville is down here duck hunting around some good ole' boys, it will be tough for him not to want to come back home.  I like the fact he is here right now and going to new york right afterwards.

[Porkette]

It seems like it's pretty much confirmed Arkansas has definitely been pursuing him. Then it becomes, is he really interested or are we being used (again)?

[bill55you]

Tuberville is duck hunting for 2 days with some arkansas boys and then heading to New York for the college football hall of fame.  Remember 10 years ago someone named Frank flew to talk with tubs there when he was at Ole Miss.  Will someone please get the ducks when he shoots them.  Thanks

[kneecap10]

Tuberville aint comin guys....Get used to it...Will not happen. He is using us to get what he wants at Auburn...Evidently word is out that it's pretty easy to use Arkansas it get what you want.

Yep

[prairiehogcompanion]

Oh, my gosh, GIVE HIM CONTROL and save us from John White!

[Slow Moses]

Just an wondering: I was under the impression that Tuberville did not want the job here 10 years ago.  Even if that is not true why would he leave Auburn (who I think might have the winningest record in the SEC the last 5 years).  Some say he does not have job security there, but he is the only Auburn coach to ever win 6 straight against Alabama (which is huge).  Has anyone thought about Al Borges?  He did a great job at Louisville and at Auburn. 

[TitanTiger]

More control over the athletic department at Auburn on football matters is what the article says.  It's one of the things they're haggling over.

[Hog-I]

Where did the 3.5 million for 10 years come from?  Did I miss something?

[SkunkyMunky]

HE got Kody Burns . . .

And Ziemba.
