So the SEC loses Orgeron and adds Butch Davis? Great. I guess if it's not Davis it will be someone else good. Arkansas is a pretty good job. I hate Nutt going to Ole Mrs. Not that he will build them into a winner, but he is good enough with the Xs and Os to pull several upsets a year.

This is a typical aubie response. Oh noes, competition! Everyone knows that auburn is a second rate program that just happens to be riding high on variance recently. Tubby is the guy who happened to be in the right place at the right time. He gets to Auburn right as Bama is receiving near-death-penalty-type sanctions for basically harmless infractions, as Spurrier is making his exit, as Mississippi State is falling into the toilet. But what comes around goes around, and the times of plenty on the plains are coming to an end.

On top of all of that, the culture of losing at Auburn keeps the program down even when things are going their way. They can't win when it counts. Name one other program in a BCS conference that has managed to go undefeated without winning a national championship. Auburn has done it not once but TWICE in the last two decades. And both of the coaches that managed to accomplish that much have been vilified by huge swaths of the booster community.
